Republicans [might] win this go-around but Constitutional Conservatives will prevail in the long-run. I am counting on it!

    He was unelectable because his core beliefs are of the nature that sooner or later he would slip, and did. I don't hate the guy either, I just think that 1- we cans do better, and 2- north east blue bloods just don't identify well with the broader swath of the country. He had RomneyCare after all, and where did he stand on the 2nd Amendment?

    Romney was really electable, at least up to the time that he made that infamous "47 percent" remark. Recent polls show that if the 2012 election were re-run today, Romney would win convincingly.

    I'm not a Romney fan, and would never vote for him, but he was not and is not unelectable.

    And back at ya. Unfortunately, Bill Murray thinks the way our least favored Golfer does, so it's unlikely that there's a solution there. And the Secret Service, in spite of personal desires, wouldn't let that happen.

    Re: scojohnson,

    You certainly are on the right path in your thinking, but we do have a few candidates that say what they truly think. Ted cruz is certainly on the forefront of a politician that i believe can be trusted to stick to his guns. Of course the old boy Republican party will block his path any way they can. let's show them that the "common"people can force some changes. Speak up whenever you can, take the time to write letters to the editors of your local newspaper and other media. Take time to support any good and honest politicians you can find. And by honest, I mean politicians that will answer your questions directly. if they try to change the subject, they can;t be trusted. support your local Tea Party with your presence and make sure that you are heard and be supportive of likeminded people.

    We must and can take back the control of our legislatures and hold everyones feet to the fire.

    Re: Technocracy,
    I wonder if what you state regarding Herman Cain being tarred by race due to Obama's time as president. I truly believe that race alone would not be a factor. The problem with Obama is that he's a socialist at best and an outright believer that the U/S. is the major problem in the world.

    Immigration proves that people in the rest of the world still recognize that the U.S. is the solution to the problem not the cause. This is despite the many mistakes that especially this administration has made. Other administrations since the Reagan years have also contributed to the desintegration of free enterprise in our country, but we are resourceful and do eventually learn our lessons. be positive, we can and will survive these last 25 years of mistakes.

    Re: AJAshinoff,

    While I tend to agree with re: the enema, I must point out that we do have the ability to make choices during the primary elections.

    Sadly, the RNC as you state tend to give us the same "good- ol-boy party faithful." Ssome of this can be hel;ped along by every one of us "little guys" to write and make the best effort we can to get good honest men and women to run for office. Be supportive of those potential candidates who will answer directly when asked a direct question. if such answers are not forthcoming let everyone you know what these types of candidates will probably become if elected to office. Any candidate that doesn't respond clearly and immediately to questions are not to be trusted.

    Libertarians left the party after Goldwater's defeat in '65. Those were the principled part of the GOP. Some great people.

    Piss on all the Republicrats. Regardless how much we wish it so, it isn't.
    They only listen to money and power regardless of our peaceful actions.
    A congress run by the existing one party will never do what you describe unless faced with an overwhelming force exceeding that of the banking cartel and corpora-clep-tocracy.
    Working within the system is not a rational productive option any more.

    Sad, but true. The only ones that seem to make it through the Republican 'machine' are the nerds that have been licking the boots of party leaders since their days in the College Republican ranks. Its like they take turns or something.

    Our biggest vulnerability will be the lame duck session between the election and when the new congress takes office. BO will try to get everything he can through while his "boys" are still in office.

    I agree 1000%, its always the case. "Oh, we have a strong shot, lets bring out Mitt!" Mitt's an intelligent guy, but he wasn't really electable... he did admirably for his natural handicap of not having anything in common with the average American voter. He did so out of the extreme weakness of Obama though, not because he was a wonderful candidate. The Republican series of 10,000 debates led by the Ron Paul show did nothing more than to make them all look like the 7 Dwarves or something.

    Actually, the oath requires defense of, as well as adherence to, the Constitution, let`s begin there.
    With rep. majority, we have a better chance of turning back to the rule of law instead of the application of communist ideology - but ONLY if we demand and require the reps. to do it, they will happily go about the business of screwing us if we continue to lay down. I agree that formal, timely investigations, charging and trials for a multitude of felonies begin the day after the new congress is sworn - but, it WILL NOT happen unless we show up at their offices, fundraisers, etc. and demand it.

    My biggest concern is the vermin he has injected into the government apparatus: federal judge appointments, embedded collectivist bureaucrats, true believers in redistribution and government power. They will exist no matter who is elected in the future.
