Let’s look at the last three elections.

In 2008, the Republicans ran a RINO who would not press any big issues. The only traction he got was from his VP candidate. They lost solidly.

In 2010, the Republicans ran as solid conservatives and won one of the biggest victories the party has ever had. They gained over 700 seats nationwide. So what did they do next?

In 2012, they went back to the inoffensive RINO Etch A Sketch with no fixed principles and they got trounced every bit as badly as in 2008.

So whose fault is it? Why, conservatives, obviously.

The Republican Party has a virtually infinite capacity for learning the wrong lesson. it is time to put this pathetic excuse for a party out of its misery.

We need effective conservatives, with political savvy, and they are in short supply.

The fact is, most so-called “Conservative politicians” don’t truly believe in conservatism, they play the role they think gives them the best chance to get elected.
