What should conservatives do?

I like to say that this blog is about solutions.

Well, if you agree that we have a political problem in this country, and you believe that the problem is with an out of control government, then the solution is a more conservative leadership.  You get that by electing conservative leaders.  How do you get conservative leaders?  Well, you don't nominate moderates, and you certainly don't re-elect them like we just did.  Wouldn't that help?

How? Well, that the crux of the problem, isn't it?  How does a guy like Romney get the nomination when so few in his party actually liked him?  It seems to me that the conservative base just isn't organized, thus can be easily defeated.  You can almost see that start happening again.  Romney starts talking about running, and then Bush throws his hat in.  Do the conservatives really want this kind of nominee?  But, unless the conservatives get organized and present enough of a force to stop this kind of thing, this is what will happen.  You'll get another moderate running and he will definitely lose.  Even if he wins, he may as well be a Democrat.  Conservatives, who make up the majority of the GOP, somehow can't get one of their own nominated.

The solution?  Get organized and united.  The chances of this happening?  Probably near zero, unless something changes drastically and soon.

Well, like a lot of things, the solutions are simple.  Implementation is the difficult thing.
