I would add this to your post:
The *first* thing that is necessary to the effort to emerge a conservative candidate is *realizing and accepting that we are responsible for doing so and able to do so.*
We have to push back against the complaint that it’s the GOP’s fault, the MSM’s fault, the system’s fault, the fill-in-the-blank’s fault.
In fact, it’s not even really a question of “fault.” It’s not about blame, it’s about responsibility. And we are responsible for USING the process to its fullest to emerge “our” candidate.
I will add my tag line to my post. Thanks for your insight. I will be exploring the potential for a grass roots candidate to oust the soon to be elected President.
I might be paranoid, but McCain might really be out to get us.
