I don’t agree with you that a Conservative party would lose. I adamantly believe that the conservative message resonates with the US middle class voters.
No, not everyone is a conservative, but huge numbers of people are disgusted with being strip searched by the TSA, with having their children suspended for drawing a gun, with having to hear 8 foreign languages spoken at work, with having their school children indoctrinated in homosexuality, with paying high gas prices, with having the EPA restrict their lives, with having to support bums and slakers, with being overtaxed and getting avery poor value for their taxes.
I could go on with 200 more examples and I’m a lousy orator. The ammunition is all there.
A conservative party would do exceptionally well as long as they toned down the abortion debate and stayed no topic with economic issues and core traditional values. The various Tea Party groups do this so astoundingly well, they mobilize conservatives while not discouraging moderates.
The conservative message is a great message. It is a proven winner. But the idiot GOP RINO leaders are too cowardly to try it.
Therefore, we need a conservative party. It would take off like wildfire if it was truly conservative and not initially corrupted (everything becomes corrupt eventually).
If this were true, Romney wouldn't be the nominee. McCain wouldn't have been the nominee. Neither would either Bush or Bob Dole.
If conservatives aren't enough to even be a controlling majority within the subset of voters that constitutes the GOP, how can they possibly be a controlling majority among voters as a whole? I will agree that an exceptional conservative candidate, one who is not only conservative but likeable, a great speaker, etc., can gain a majority. Reagain proved that. But candidates like that don't fall off the tree every election. The majority of the time, we have to get by with something less.
