I'm not disagreeing with you. I AM saying that we'll never get enough of them in fast enough to be a threat to the RINO leadership and it's power base. They - republican and democrat alike - have stacked the deck against any serious threats to their status quo. Those they can corrupt - all the while mouthing the conservative rhetoric as if they were our staunchest allies - they will; like I just said though, those they can't corrupt they will ostracize, isolate and destroy.
We only lose when we give up. Where we are now has been a dream of the left going all the way back to Woodrow Wilson. Whether good or bad, conservatives...AMERICANS...people who love this country have seriously taken our eye off the ball. The snowball really started rolling right after WWII and I don't know why. That was one of the most patriotic generations in history and they raised a generation of Marxist hippies. Those hippies took over the media, the schools, Hollywood (a very influential propaganda tool) and a good portion of the judicial branch.
Now that it's reached critical mass we're waking up and it's not too late. They generation coming up behind us, our children's generation is much more conservative. I just missed the whole "peace & love" thing and grew up in the 70's, the so called "apathetic generation" but my children's generation reminds me more of my grandparent's generation (or parents generation...your mileage may vary, my parent's were pretty much at the tail end of the hippie era but my husband's parents were WWII vets). They're very patriotic. 911 had a bigger impact on them then many of us realize. All the propaganda in the world doesn't matter when you see your country attacked.
0bama was the left's last hurrah! I think even they know this that's why he (they) rushed to get through as many of their socialist ideals as he (they) could (get enough through and the country will be too dependent regardless of their values). So we start with Romney and work our way right. And we make sure we teach our children and our grandchildren what it means to be an American and we remind them of what we could lose. Those who watched the towers fall must never forget that feeling. And we MUST listen to the voices of our vets. Almost all of our WWII vets are gone and our Vietnam vets are getting older (my uncle's in his late 60's). I've met very few liberal vets and I've never met any that didn't have a deep sense of patriotism. Except John Kerry...who served in Vietnam. And John Murtha, but the Corps disowned him a long time ago.
Sometimes I think when we have a leader like Reagan we see it as a means to the end. Given the same opportunity the left would see that election as a 1st step. And that's the one lesson we CAN learn from them. Granted, it means we have to work harder than them...our side is the one that keeps the economic engine of the country going, we fight the wars and (since we aren't killing them in the womb) are raising most of the next generation...but we've proved that we can with the Tea Party movement. And our voices were louder, stronger (and more in line with the rest of the country) than any occupy movement in the country. We have power but they have always been the toddler screaming and throwing a tantrum in the middle of the toy store. Our mistake has been to buy them the stupid toy to shut them up so we can get back to work. And now they know that gives them power...the more they yell the more they get. We have to "just say no" (Nancy was right in so many ways) because dependency has become a drug for them.
So Romney and a conservative house, a few senate seats are a start. There are more of us. We're more patriotic. We have more power. We just have to decide this is the first step on an already strong foundation (thanks to our founders) and never take our eyes off the goal. If they can do it without a quarter of the talent and resources, certainly we can.
