Murder isn't a right asshat.
Wyoming Senator John Barasso could win the White House if his conservatism were key to putting back America's credit rating to #1 again.Can a Republican Win 270 Electoral Votes in 2016...or Ever? - The Daily Beast
Conservative Republicans uphold their conservative principles as a shiny badge of honor never to be tarnished. I, too, am a conservative Republican. However, I think like Ronald Reagan, who when trying to get legislation passed in 1983 said the following:
I have always figured that a half a loaf is better than none, and I know that in the democratic process youre not going to always get everything you want.
Sadly, I also agree with former senator and 1996 GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole, who appeared this past May on Fox News Sunday to discuss the growing conservative tilt among Republican primary and base voters when he stated that Reagan wouldn't have made it in todays Republican Party.
That might actually be true, for at my conservative event, as I listened to speeches from a host of elected leaders, only one mentioned the C word: compromise. Instead of compromise, all I heard was we must battle and fight to uphold the principles of conservatism.
Now, I also believe in fighting for conservative principles, but realizing that conservatives are an ever shrinking minority within the electorate, it is imperative that Republicans nominate a presidential candidate (and other leaders) who can attract moderate voters by stating that he or she, like Reagan, are willing to accept a half loaf instead of a whole in order to solve the difficult issues facing our nation.
Otherwise, the GOP will remain locked out of the White House and leave our nation stuck in neutral with a gridlocked government. There is danger ahead for conservatives when core conservative principles are used as roadblocks to any progress.
This is an excellent article. There are some hard home-truths that need to be faced and dealt with before Republicans can even think about taking back the White House. I am hoping that since there is a veritable shit-ton of Republicans who want their party back, they will find a way to make it happen. Because this "I'm more conservative!" "No, I'M more conservative!" game is doing nothing to win moderates, and you need the moderates. You cannot win without them.

Reproductive rights are not "murder".
One, reproductive rights are women's rights, always, and the social traditionalists are wrong to define it any other way.
Two, "murder" is a legal term, not an opinion term defined by the far right.
I think Chris Christie is their best bet. The name "Bush" still has stink on it. Christie verses Hillary Clinton would be ideal because their differences would be severe, yet both have high trust ratings among the American people. And, this March, 2013 poll agrees with me. Poll: Hillary would be tops in 2016; Christie strongest Republican - CBS News
What you have to recall about Presidential elections is this; it's not Consumer Reports. People should rate candidates with a scorecard and make the sober decision based on what their values are in my view. If candidate A supports reproductive rights and candidate B supports overturning reproductive rights, I am likely to support candidate A because that is very important to me. If the 2nd Amendment is important to you you'd vote for the candidate who most supports it. Etc...
Voters are not always rational actors.
What happens is that for many who don't delve deep into issues or do not have a strong feeling either way about issues; they vote for who they like; who they more identify with, who looks like them, who shares their faith, philosophy, upbringing, heritage, etc...
Who wins is also a function of who the competition is. Romney won the primary, I feel, because who else was going to get your support? A guy who thinks the earth is 2012 years old (Santorum) despite science or Gingrich who was nuttier than a fruitcake.
This is why the Dems had better be REALLY careful about giving Hillary the ball. She is not that likable. I think the Dems are in for a rude awakening in 2016 if they nominate her. Of course it's a matter of degrees; you put Cruz up against Hillary, I like that battle from Hillary's standpoint. The same with Rand Paul. You put Christie up against her...there is a campaign I'd like to see.
There is a fair amount of truth in some of what you say. For instances, those who don't delve deep into issues fall for code words like reproductive rights. Virtually no one is against contraception and sees it as a responsible act. If they had any idea that what it really means is murdering an unborn baby out of convenience, they would be appalled.
Murder isn't a right asshat.
Reproductive rights are not "murder".
They are when liberals use the term "reproductive right" as code for abortion. Use google, it's your friend. You guys include abortion (murder) as part of reproductive "rights". Murder isn't a right asshat.

Cutting a baby out of the womb and running scissors into it's brain stem so it will die is murder dumbshit. Who has the "right" to do that?
too early to tell
christie is too heavy to win, romney won't run again...hopefully there will be a great independent third party similar to perot who will run

The problem for those republicans who want their party back is theyre on the back of a tiger; the fear of being primaried is just too great.
However crazy or irresponsible a given republican incumbent might be, theres someone back home even more crazy and more irresponsible ready to take the incumbents place.
