True Conservatives do not represent a majority of Americans. Most Americans are moderate more or less. They are a requirement for any Republican to win a national election. We should NEVER forget this simple fact. The country could be in a meltdown not seen since the end of the Civil War BUT Obama is going to win 95% of the Black Vote- Guaranteed. He's going to win 80% of the Hispanic Vote. He's going to win 65% or more of the Asian Vote. These numbers are carved into stone and cannot be changed. Add to these numbers the municipal labor unions, traditional labor unions and suicidal lunatic whites and you have enough votes to give Obama a second term. ANY Republican candidate will need to win both branches of the Republican Party and a substantial number of moderates to have a chance of beating Obama. We should never forget this. If we squabble and have types who call every Republican Candidate who doesn't agree with them on every issue a RINO, we might just have real problems. Think about it.

In other words - you expect conservatives to stay firmly on the GOP plantation, no matter how badly they are treated.

That approach already gave up Obama once. Now you want more.

Go ahead and keep believing you can win elections with a minority of voters and you will get your second Obama term. We lost in 2008 because we had a weak candidate. Obama had the entire MSM behind him. He will have it again in 2012 and that's guaranteed. Politics is the art of the possible. Your attitude is the type that loses elections. Ronald Reagan always said we should nominate the most conservative people who can win, not the most conservative. Losing gets you nowhere and we cannot survive another Obama term. Attitudes like yours has earned the Republican Party the title of "the stupid party".
