I’ve been saying this for years. How do we make this happen. Wringing our hands at this point in the game is pointless. We need ONE conservative candidate to run against the GOPe candidate - if we did, we’d have a strong conservative winner every time!


I think we need a Conservative Primary, so that we all get behind ONE candidate who will run against the GOP establishment candidate for the GOP nomination.

We can’t beat a McCain or Romney if we are splitting our vote between 3-5 conservatives. We did the same thing in 2008 as we did this year and it does not work.

If there were 5 conservatives running against GHW Bush in 1980, there would have been no Reagan. Bush would have walked away with it just as Romney is doing.

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

The Tea Party could have its own primaries prior to the GOP primaries.

Then the GOP primaries would have had ONE strong and tested conservative candidate on the ballot against Romney, Huntsman and Gary Johnson who would be splitting the GOP e vote three ways.
