2022 ELECTION – A Disaster for Conservatives

ELECTION – A Disaster for Conservatives

PROBLEM – Weak and Ineffective Leaders

SOLUTION – New and Mostly Younger Conservative and Republican Leaders

MANASSAS, Virginia – by: Richard A. Viguerie, the pioneer of conservative direct marketing, chairman of his 90-person marketing firm, and author of latest book, GO BIG, The Marketing "Secrets" of Richard A. Viguerie.

ELECTION

There’s no denying the fact in the 2022 elections liberals outgunned conservatives. Democrats/liberals beat Republicans/conservatives like a drum.

There is plenty of blame and finger-pointing for Tuesday’s colossal failure by the GOP to achieve a resounding victory under the ideal circumstances for a wave election. Let me address, however, some of the foundational problems (and solutions) that the pundits, consultants, and Party leaders won’t tell you.

PROBLEM

Who/where were the Republican closers? Taking victory laps?

SOLUTION

Conservatives are like the Biblical Jews who had to wander through the desert for 40 years until that generation of failed, flawed leaders had passed away. Conservatives are not going to get to the political promised land until this generation of failed/flawed leaders are replaced and new ones arrive.

Conservatives and Republicans need new leaders, mostly younger (under 40) who have a bold, aggressive, entrepreneurial spirit and want to play an important role in preserving liberty/freedom under God’s laws.

There needs to be a major housecleaning at the national Republican committees, starting with Rhonna Romney McDaniel at the Republican National Committee, but also at the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Republican Governors Association Campaign Committee, as well as the cabal of content-free consultants who play a major role in making sure the Republican Party and Republican candidates avoid conservative issues.

Republican U.S. House and Senate leaders need to be replaced, including Kevin McCarthy, Steve Scalise, Mitch McConnell, John Thune.

Most national conservative leaders have low energy, while the Left’s leaders have so much energy, it seems that sometimes you can cut it with a knife.

I’ve written many times in recent years about what is needed for conservatives to govern America. I’ll briefly repeat some of the most important things needed. However, for a more in-depth discussion, you’ll find it in a book I’ve recently written, GO BIG, which was written to help conservatives become competitive with the Left in marketing/communication/fundraising.

On Page 77 of GO BIG I write, “Also, I’m concerned that many conservatives think there will be a red tsunami wave that will wash Democrats out of the office in November 2022, so they believe they don’t have to do anything. Because victory is close, all we have to do is keep doing what we’ve been doing the last 30 years, and we will have a big victory in November 2022. America’s future will be secure. Morton Blackwell called this strain of thought ‘succumbing to the Sir Galahad Theory of politics—we will win because we are self-evidently right.’”

Then on page 78, I list some of the things conservatives need to do to dominate American politics and govern America:

CONCLUSION

If you feel that conservatives/Republicans did not have a bad night on November 8th because Republicans narrowly won the House of Representatives and have a chance of having a majority in the Senate by 1 or 2 votes, let me remind you:

The Republicans had the most favorable political environment ever.

So, with the best political environment ever, we have a squeaker of an election. How do we expect to have big election victories in the future and govern America at the national, state, and local levels with our present, ineffective leaders?

Conservatives with a bold, aggressive, entrepreneurial spirit—this is your moment, your opportunity—America needs your leadership.

More than anything, Florida shows us the conservative spirit is strong and fully alive. Use the Florida voting model to clean up the rest of the USA.

It’s hard to disagree. It may come as a shock to many Republicans but this is not 1980 anymore.

And the Chamber of Commerce doesn’t like you anymore either.

In the list that follows not one word about the broken electoral system or across the country school board victories by conservatives. That's where the farm club is.

“Money: Liberal nonprofits raise about 700% more money in the last 10+ years than conservative nonprofits ($21+ billion vs. $3-4 billion).”

Here it is. The Democrats take the public money and recycle it back into democratic projects. Solandra, was a 500 million dollar DNC bailout, under Obama. Abortion, same thing. Welfare non-profits, same thing. Then there is all the FOREIGN MONEY that comes in to the democrats. Yes, it’s about money. Mostly, the Republicans in charge for many years allowed this to happen.

Trump tried to address the issue, the RHINOS want you to accept that they need to do the Republican side of it. You will be left with the bill.

I don’t see how Democrats cleaned up on Republicans at all in this election. There’s a very good change the Republicans will win the House and maybe even the Senate, not by a huge majority, but still a majority. Which means, republicans were not used as mops in this election.

Dozens of mega donors investing billions of dollars into the conservative movement. The Left has many George Soros, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg, Tom Steyer, and Mark Zuckerberg-types.

Are there dozens of conservatives rich enough to do that?

want to play an important role in preserving liberty/freedom

It is liberty and freedom that have brought us to the point we are at.

The operational definition of "liberty" and "freedom" used by Conservative Inc. allowed a bolshevik insurgency to culminate in unopposed arson, looting, and murder, while the majority population of the US was being impoverished by the usury promoted by thev"donor community", whose unprecedented paper wealth continues to hoover up land, minerals, and other actual stores of value.

The problem is not that the State is too strong, the problem is that the State is too weak (and in the wrong hands).

They’ve trotted out this fellow at age 89 to join the corporate media chorus that the GOP had a bad night.

“Democrats/liberals beat Republicans/conservatives like a drum“

Sure, yet in the only national aspect of the night, the nationwide House elections, the Republicans won and Nancy is to be sent packing. I don’t see the big loss here except for those sucked into playing a poll-driven expectations game.

Those Dems love their abortion.
Apparently some R women too.
That Kansas 60/40 NO on the state amendment wasn’t a fluke.

Is that what the 85,000 new IRS agents are for; to audit all this new conservative infrastructure?

Val Demmings had no chance against a semi popular incumbent. And Crist? CBS spent a week there and couldn't find a single Crist supporter. So you have to ask yourself, why did the Dems lay off DeSantis?

Not everyone who identifies as “Conservative” is onboard with banning abortions. I have a few that always vote Republican, but they say why should they pay for welfare babies, poor people who can’t afford kids, should be allowed to abort, instead of having more hoodrats.

Ballot harvesting is how democrats steal elections. Fetterman in Pennsylvania had nearly 900,000 mail-in ballots on hand BEFORE election day. Oz had only 200,000. On the day of the election, Oz beat Fetterman by 500,000 but it was not enough to overcome the lead that Fetterman started with.

The democrats flooded social media and college campuses, contacting individuals to submit their mail-in ballot.

Democrats don’t care if you physically go to the voting precinct on election day. They will record your vote regardless. Once the rats have you registered in the database, they will generate a ballot and vote for you (without you knowing about it).

This is why they want to flood the country with illegal aliens. The first thing they do is give the illegal alien a voting registration form. Motor-voter makes it very easy for illegals to register to vote. That’s the key. The rats want them “registered” at all cost. Then they generate the ballot, fill it and drop it into the boxes at 1am.

All the GOP rallies in the world will not make a difference if the Rat candidate has a 1 million vote lead before election day.

Pennsylvania will never again elect a Republican statewide until you ban ballot harvesting.
