Our candidates need two things to win, they are first to be conservative on the issues, and second they must be intelligent. If our candidates come short on one of these two tests, they will lose. We also have to be honest with ourselves when looking back at some of the losing candidates we have put up. In same way we want to avoid RINO’s, we must also avoid DUMMIES. Two great candidates that won in the last two cycles are Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Both are great on the issues, but just as importantly they are articulate and intelligent. Their intelligence is apparent when they speak. I say more like Ted Cruz, less like Christine O’Donnell. If we ignore the intelligence factor in our candidates, we are destined to lose.

Well that certainly makes it clear that conservatives are held to a higher standard because no one could call Biden or that moron Hank Johnson, to name only two out of many candidates on the left, rocket scientists. The left has constituencies which will vote for a candidate because he is stupid, just to show the right that they can. I wish I could say it only hurts them, but unfortunately these fools represent all of us to one degree or another.
