Stop right there. This is where you are dead wrong. The National party platform is dictated by those who are elected to delegates from the local level. The libertarians know this, and did a run on those elections in an attempt to secure those seats. Why? because they recognize their numbers are too small to win the presidency, or even Congress on their own. The real conservatives, instead of working heard to secure those seats have pretty much just given up.
Of course, what I am trying to get you to understand (and it is taking far too long - and it is what BigTex is clearly pointly out to no avail) is that "real conservatives" are also too small in number to be a party, and secure more than just a handful of seats.
You are therefore NEVER going to get that perfect candidate that represents your belief system in its entirety. The party is comprised of the entire spectrum of beliefs from the middle to the far right. It is those local candidates with the loudest voice that is dictating the platform, and please note - they work damn hard to do so. Damn hard.
So much BS; so little time to refute a MA RINO,
First of all, I could care less what northeastern delegates to the convention run on or think. Conservatives are never going to win that state. RINO's just muddy the waters with their vile social policies like abortion, queer marriage, gun control and drug legalization. We have not even gotten to the increase in spending, debt, entitlement and foreign policies that almost mirror Obama to a T.
Secondly, in order to win the Presidency, it take lots of money, good organization and an opposing view on many issues that the Democrats embrace. Romney lost cause he had a me too attitude in the 2 and 3 debates. Plus, many conservatives stayed home cause they did not believe the Romney flip flop transformation.
Thirdly, the elite rich Repubs do not want a candidate who stands for God, Country and a return to morality in private and public. They would rather lose than have someone like Palin become the next President. I do not know what is so hard for dimwit Yankees/RINO's to understand.
I bet you or Big guy would not vote for Palin. However, you expect me to stomach liberal social and economic policies. No thanks. Put up a candidate like McCain or Romney and I will stay home. That shit sandwich left a bad taste in my mouth the last two elections.
Lastly, Rove and the other jerks better not wage war on Tea Party candidated cause their next hand picked candidate for the President will get slaughter worse than Romney.
