Weiner Claims he's no Idiot, I beg to Differ

You know I just can't think of anything else as symbolic of the total disconnect of democrat politicians from the voters than Anthony Weiner.

The state of denial that they exist in is pretty epic, from Angela Giron's and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz's insistence that there is "voter suppression" going on out there to Weiners assertion that no one should care about him waving his dong around online.

Anthony Weiner: 'I'm not an idiot'

In his first national media interview since losing the New York City mayoral primary, former Rep. Anthony Weiner joined Geraldo Rivera for a nearly 20-minute appearance on Rivera’s radio show Friday, taking responsibility for his loss while also blaming the media for focusing on his sexting scandal.
As he did on the trail, Weiner said he tried to run a campaign on the issues, but he admitted that revelations of further sexting after his resignation from Congress led to his loss.
“If you’re breaking the news here that the scandal and how it came back and the new things that came out … more things came out, yes of course, I’m not an idiot, I know it succeeded in derailing my campaign,” Weiner told Rivera, who said he was an early supporter of Weiner’s candidacy but was surprised when news came out that Weiner’s online interactions with women continued as long as they did.
“I took this campaign, frankly, on a bet, and that was that something at the end of the day that was behind me should not stop me,” Weiner said.
“Ten months behind you, that’s like yesterday,” Rivera responded.
Weiner repeatedly told Rivera he tried to run on the issues, but the media wasn’t having it, saying there is a “disconnect between people in your business” and citizens’ concerns.
“You had every tabloid in New York going bananas trying every day to derail me,” Weiner said. “None of the newspapers ever attacked my issues, none of the other candidates even bothered to take me out on the issues because they knew I would beat them.”~snip~

Politics is a rough game so why bother dealing with issues when your opponent can remind people that your name is Weiner and you like taking selfies all day and sending them to various women online?
The very idea that the press would ignore something like that in favor of "issues" is, quite frankly, the thought process of an idiot.
Which is the same thought process of Angela Giron and Debbie Wasserman-Schultz who both believe that their positions on any issue is so awesome that the only way they could possibly lose is if voters are oppressed.

Makes you wonder how conservatives can possible lose to these people.

That Ship has Already Sailed

I guess it's no secret that the republican party has already left conservatives behind after the disastrous results of 2012.
It couldn't get anymore wishy-washy than offering Massachusetts Mitt after trying to force lame McCain on us previously.

Voter turnout was lower than it had been in the 2 previous presidential elections which, according to the article, about 93 million eligible voters didn't participate.

I'm sure more than a few million of those where conservatives who have just given up on the RNC being able to offer a clear choice in 2012.

The RNC has left conservatives with no real clear choice.

Which is why, in my opinion, it's about time someone started forcefully stating the obvious.

Palin Floats Leaving GOP

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said on Saturday that if Republicans abandon conservatives, conservatives may have to consider leaving the Republican Party.
Palin was responding on Fox News to a question from a viewer, Josh Painter, who asked if she and conservative talk radio host Mark Levin would be willing to form a "Freedom Party" if the GOP continues to let down conservatives.
"I love the name of that party," Palin said on Fox News on Saturday. "If the GOP continues to back away from the planks in our platform, from the principles that built this party of Lincoln and of Reagan, then, yeah, more and more of us are going to start saying, 'You know, what's wrong with being independent?'"
Palin said that if Republicans vote for things like amnesty, "there will be a lot of us who start saying, 'GOP, if you abandon us, we have nowhere else to go except to become more independent and not enlisted in one or the other private majority parties that rule in our nation.'"
She said that both national parties are "private parties" and nobody forces Americans to be "enlisted in either party."
Palin's remarks represent the frustrations of conservatives who note Republicans lose when they nominate moderate candidates in national elections.~snip~

It's time to start getting the idea out there and for conservatives to have a really serious conversation about it.
Conservatives aren't killing the republican party, the republican party is killing itself by not fielding candidates conservatives can get behind.
If they choose another squishy RINO for 2016 they're as good as dead anyway.
