And where did Marco Rubio, now hailed by the Republican establishment as a 2016 favorite, come from? Not from the RINO establishment. It backed Charlie "Tan-in-a-Can" Crist and fought Rubio tooth and nail. It was the Tea Party and Constitutional Conservative movement that gave birth to Rubio, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, etc. There are flawed candidates, to be sure, among those backed by the conservative wing of the Republican Party. RINOs point to Sharon Angle and Richard Mourdock, for example, forgetting that no one wins 100 percent of their slate. Until the afternoon of election day, when the unions started busing in voters from places unknown, Angle was in fact leading Harry Reid handily. Hi Brumar, No disagreement here. What I was trying to address are the candidates who shoot first and ask questions later. They only get elected when they are liberal. When need candidates who can articulate their position. No doubt we will never get 100% but I feel that Akin and Murdock lost votes outside their states. It allowed the MSM and the coward in chief to brand the entire party / Romney especially to those who are only tangentially aware and dwell in the arena of universal cluelessness. We have to understand that they will bus folks in forever. I got calls from the obama folks telling me they'd drive me to the polls. I don't answer but they put tremendous pressure of their voters to vote and get them to the polls.
