If you are only going to support 5% of the Republican party politicians, which translates to about 2% of the overall total, you are not serious about gaining political power. That group of people are never going to win at the national level and rarely at the state level. The Communists have done it with Obama and his followers, but they lied about who they were, what they were going to do, and what the outcome would be. I don’t think that plan will work for conservatives.

You are either an outright liar or an incredible fool. Who was the last president to run a truly conservative campaign? Maybe you don’t remember Reagan. But he seemed to pick up a little more than 2% of the popular vote.

And actually, I’d you had any idea of the modern political landscape, you would understand that Obama won by energizing his base. And as much as you may want to say he lied, Obama has been pretty open to stating his progressive agenda. He lies and obfuscates from a policy and operations standpoint, but his leftist goals are there for everyone to see.

The failed theory of the middle ground is trapping the GOP in history. Your base is what wins elections, not the mushy middle. Reagan poached an entire nation from progressive Democrats by giving middle America a vision that it could support.

The GOP is squandering the greatest opportunity it has ever had. Why? They would rather maintain the status quo and keep party control out of conservative hands. You obviously support that agenda 100%.
