Well good luck Norm. I understand where you are coming from. Politics is always about comparative choices - always. Romney would have certainly been better than Obama. Bush was better than Gore. It is a judgment call and I don’t support either extreme of that argument - blind support of lesser of evils or never support lessor of evils.
Our problem is not romney, boehner, dole or whoever. One person or a few people can’t fix this. We need an army of conservatives and we have just a few stragglers. We need to rebuild the republican party from the ground up, seat by seat and consolidate power not splinter power which is how romney got nominated. 3rd pty option makes it worse. There is no quick fix and no matter what - you have to have the votes and we don’t right now.
We have some good conservatives like Cruz, Sessions and need to get more like them elected and grow our numbers. It is that simple and that hard. Blocking and tackling not hail mary’s.
Cheers
Nice take. Zactly, too. There are few conservatives in our country, because their are even fewer practicing Christians. This is why our job is made so hard. God is out, and strictly politics is in.
That will never really be a winning hand.
