Again, it's that simple. The real question is ... when the GOP-E disappoints us yet again and steers the elections away from victory once more ... will enough conservatives rise up against them to win anyway? We almost had that with Cuccinelli ... almost.

You said it. Simple and straightforward. Liberal Republicans are the deciding factor to lose.

I kinda think there should be a back-up plan or at least serious consideration because daaaaaaayum, it sure is a liklihood that we'll be looking at (among other things) a Christie/Romney/McCain type as the determined presidential nominee in 2014, the GOPe again calling what it stupidly misidentifies as a "bluff." No bluff; people refuse to vote FOR something against their own moral and financial intersts. The GOPe wants them to vote "against" the Democrat, but down deep, folks know that's bull.

So when we're looking at that in early 2014, what are we conservative voters going to do to salvage as much as we can? We might as well be looking ahead.

Er ... presidential nominee in 2016 ... duh!

It sure does feel like the GOPe is going to add Chris Christie to the string of tepid republican losers. I've already stated I won't vote for him. In the days that come I'll draw republican ire for that (just as I did refusing to support Romney). But, clearly, I was not alone in my stand. I'm ready to support another Virgil Goode. Heck, though I am a birther (proudly so) and do not believe Cruz is a constitutional natural born citizen, we are in revolution mode these days and I'd vote for him if he ran against the liberals (GOP and DEM alike). I guess we'll wait to see who is on the ballot.
