Bingo. PALIN WARNED THE GOP THAT IGNORING THE RON PAUL PEOPLE WOULD SPELL DOOM!
Only in the mind of the truly beaten wives’ club is someone like W, Rove, Romney, Hannity, et al considered “True Conservatives” and people like Ron Paul cast aside w his millions of followers.
All they had to do w throw a small bone to the Ron Paul people like repudiate the NDAA, say they would oppose Bernake or put someone like Paul at Treasury, and they would have shown up in droves.
But nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - lets continue the same old rove, w, RINO, milqetoast, mamby pampy nonsense and piss off as many people as we can.
When Christie Cream or some other dope gets the nod in 2016 - these same people will convince themselves how great he is while tossing even more aside and then blame “voter fraud” or some other nonsense for the loss.
I genuinely, honestly allowed myself to be gulled into believing -- after the humiliating (and wholly avoidable) electoral @ss-thumping of 2008, re: their failed, suicidal McCain Gambit -- that even the dimmest, most politically clueless GOP-e or CINO would be able to learn from brute experience, if nothing else, and avoid pursuing the exact same loser strategy all over again, four scant years later.
I mean: even the lowly Planarian worm can be taught how to successfully negotiate a simple maze, after all.
Clearly, I overestimated them.
A whole LOT. ;)
