I have faith in conservatism but when you take a realistic look at the possible list of GOP candidates (governors, senators, and congressmen) who are true conservatives - why is it that we can only come up with McCain, Romney, Gingrich, etc.? I would have been a strong supporter of Santorum but we all know how that turned out..... Show me the conservatives!
Duncan Hunter. Fred Thompson. Tommy Thompson. Newt Gingrich.
They are only unrealistic because people like you say so and don't support them. You send the message that the RNC doesn't support conservatism. Your faith in conservatism is pretty shallow if you can't express support for a conservative over ten months out from the primaries when it doesn't cost the party a thing to do so.
