Just the opposite, I’d like to have been able to build on that success by taking Republican control of the Senate, but that will not likely be happening.

About 50% of the population is “pro-Life” and 50% “pro-choice” to use the euphemisms of choice. But when you change the question to the case of rape, 50% of the pro-Life contingent becomes pro-choice. So a candidate in an average state, who goes on the record with that position, will have the support of 25% of the population, and be opposed in some cases virulently by 75%.

One can try to make the case that the 25% are right and the 75% are wrong, but in the context of an electoral campaign that doesn’t work.

If you want to build on the conservative tea party success of 2010, then don’t fight against it for 2012, and I can’t help but notice that your complaint seems to be about abortion.

It seems that your anti-religion, pro-libertarian liberalism is the reason for your coming out so strongly against conservatism and republican candidates that you find too conservative.
