You're hyperventilating, Yash. Romney is not "evil." Your cartoonish characterization may be, but Romney, himself, is not "evil."
In fact, that's a very unoriginal idea. It's retread once every four years, which is why nothing ever changes. Instead of thinking outside the box, "conservatives" simply go along with the game like sheep.
You are making my point. The concept of Socialist Party "A" and Socialist Party "B" -- Fascist vs. Marxist -- is not really an original idea.
Gotta grow up there, Yash. Either you're in the game or your not. Real conservatives realize this is a game that has to be won and we must play the game to win. It's not merely a solo effort -- it's a team effort. A leader builds a relevant consensus.
3rd party lone rangers on the other hand, aren't "outside the box thinkers" at all, but more often find themselves boxing themselves into their self-important little worlds, where it's all about them and their own "perfect world" visions.
What amplifies their message in own their minds isn't its ability to grip the attention of a larger voting audience, but it is the fact that their message is only meaningful to themselves and their acolytes in a shared, vanishingly small echo chamber.
Even when conservatives supposedly "win," like in 2010, we see that it ends up being inconsequential. And that's, ultimately, because while they may have gotten numbers in Congress, they don't have any clout, because the leadership is already made up of people like, well, Romney and the rest of the GOP-E.
Yes, and that is all going to work so much better with a re-election of Obama.
Or would you care to show us how there have been significant changes in the rate of growth of the debt and deficit or in spending since the GOP took over in 2010?
Seems you've forgotten that you need a Senate that actually votes on budgets. But you are still enjoying your depression spiral, so don't let me stop you.
Sure, rally behind the "R" all you want. You may win a few elections,
Unlike you, who are guaranteed to win NO elections with your "strategy."
... but you're not seeing this country changed for the better.
You don't remember the Carter years. You were what -- 2 or 3 maybe? The sackcloth and ashes types said the same thing back then too. The left and whiners on the right never anticipated Reagan -- both were convinced he wouldn't win all the way up and until the last polls were made in last week of the 1980 election cycle, in fact.
When you start figuring out that the two are not synonymous, that's when you'll start making sense. Until then, you're just a mouthpiece spouting a pre-recorded message.
The message Romney has is unapologetic-ally the same as was Reagan's in 1980. The message has a growing number of listeners.
By contrast no one is listening to the messages of what are certain to be 3rd party electoral failures. No surprise.
What's going to kill us is this tired, used up Cold War-era approach to conservative activism. It may have worked then, but it doesn't seem to be working so well now.
Spoken like a guy who obviously wasn't old enough to vote in his first presidential election until some time long after the Cold War was won. What was that any way for you, like 1996? Bottom line -- insufficient life-perspective to be able to comment cogently.
It seems that the self-righteousness aren't happy unless they're miserable, and they choose to believe that their their only hope lies in electoral impossibilities.
Misery thus perpetuates itself and in that, they find their "happy" fulfillment.
FReegards!
