Far left spin on what is essentially a true observation. If Romney loses Conservatives are DONE with the GOP. There will be a split with a new Conservative Party and a GOP that quietly fades away. Not unlike how the Argentine Junta fell after people realized that at least a bunch of Generals should have been able to win a war.
It better be called the Tea Party. The Tea Party is a great, positive, highly recognized brand name. People simply recognizing and knowing your name is the single most vital component to marketing yourself and one of the hardest to achieve.
I don’t want to hear that the media has smeared the Tea Party name so we need a new one. They will eventually smear whatever new name you come up with too. And the only way to win is not to run away from the smears but to confront them, challenge them and redefine who you are despite the media. This goes for the candidates they smear as well.
We got Romney in part because the media had smeared Newt when he was in power and his colleagues were too cowardly to defend him. They also smeared Palin. And so the RINOs, working in conjunction with what the MSM set up for them, kept telling us “their negatives are too high.”
