One of the largest elephants in the GOP's post-election room is the fate of Christian and other social conservatives. Party honchos can't just wish this problem away -- or, maybe they can. If by now conservatives do not understand the republican party is useless, then forget about it! The problem with the republican party is the "party honchos."
Conservatives need to form their own party, not afraid to confront liberals and their idiocy!
"Conservatives need to form their own party, not afraid to confront liberals and their idiocy!" Liberals might actually be weakest within the Democrats. A well-organized insurgent effort in caucus states could install socially conservative Democrats in safe seats in the state legislatures and maybe even take out a liberal congressman or two.
Unaffiliated or third party social conservatives might have more fun as renegade Democrats. You'll need majorities in both parties for long term success anyway.
