The chance of the GOPe doing the right thing is miniscule to the extreme, they have declare the TEA party to be their enemy

Who? If we are very, very lucky, we'll get Scott Walker. Otherwise it's Christie, Rubio, Ryan, or last minute compromise savior Uncle Jeb.

Paul, Cruz, and Lee and their like will be torpedoed by the RINO establishment at every opportunity.

Palin or Cruz, or I’m not even bothering to venture to the voting booth in 2016. I’m pretty much at the end of my rope, in regards to both the GOP and politics as a whole.

And in 2016, it can happen again—as long as Republicans nominate an ideological conservative, ideally with a good dose of charisma ...

Somebody who actually exists would be nice this time.

Not some imaginary candidate people say was so much better than the candidates who are actually in the race.

I think Ted Cruz is pretty darned conservative so the problem should be solved.

The GOP doesn’t want a conservative leader, they want to be buddies with their leftist friends across the aisle, solely to get their piece of the socialist pie.

I’d like to think that Rick Snyder would make for a good VP...

dirty tricks against every real conservative.

an ideological conservative"

No more ideological conservatives please. We need a traditional conservative a la Russell Kirk.

Ideological conservatives are either naifs who believe in some imaginary world that can never exist (e.g. completely free unfettered market) or they are liars and opportunists aiming for the votes of the naifs (e.g. Tom DeLay, Ralph Reed, etc.)

The GOP needs to get real about winning. They need to pick a candidate that represents the party attitudes and is unwavering in adherence to them.

They need to throw out all the wannabes and egomaniacs that are popping up and will make another mess out of the primaries( McCain again??? Huntsman???).

They need to represent the whole country including the heartland not just the beltway.

They need a candidate who sees the future of our country, not the Republican party as the first priority

It won’t matter who they run if the GOP gets the amnesty it’s been so ardently and irrationally trying to shove down America’s throat. If amnesty passes you can turn out the lights at the RNC forever. America will become a socialist, third-world country overnight, at least in terms of voting behavior. I’m really scraping to find somewhere to go if the worst happens. The Chileans lost their minds this past election, and Belize and Costa Rica may be getting a little crowded.

There are NO ‘True Conservative’ candidates existing anywhere on this side of the horizon.

All ‘candidates’ identifying with the Republican Party are, by definition and irretrievably, outside the scope of ‘True Conservative’-ness.

No Republican ‘candidate’ will be presented, for election to National Office by the GOPe, that is capable of fulfilling the ideological, philosophical, ethical, moral or political Goals of ‘True Conservatives’.

The GOPe apparatchiks MUST — in self-interest and self-defense — cripple, maim, neuter, discredit or otherwise ‘eat’ any ‘True Conservatives’ who offer themselves up as fodder in the Primary Phase of the election process.

The MSM need not lift a finger, breathe a word or otherwise ‘act’ to facilitate the GOPe program to destroy or simply ‘dismiss’ any ‘True Conservative’ aspiring to ANY National Office under the auspices of the ‘national’ Republican Party.

There is NO Republican Party ‘solution’ leading out of the existing national political malaise.

Anyone still holding opinions contrary to ANY of the above is IMONSHO still ‘Stuck on Stupid’, lost in a fog of wishful thinking or simply hasn’t been paying attention since 1988.
