Major election wins for conservatives...

   So the republican party is still "finding" itself, while the large majority of Americans call themselves conservative, the "big tent" philosophy of the republican party has again cost them at election day. 

Since when do they nominate and spend $900,000 to try and get a liberal elected? 

She was pro choice, pro obamacare, pro stimulus, pro card check, and anti "republican", and yet she was the nominee for the GOP. 

Well, as long at the GOP continues down this road, they will lose support. I for one would never send them a dime, when they will just use it to try and defeat a candidate that is actually a Reagan conservative...

Amazing. The saddest part is, when the media tells the republican leadership that they need to be more "big tent" and more moderate, the big dummies actually listen to them. 

Hey GOP, the liberal media wants you to fail... Get it?... They want you to piss off your conservative base, and push them out of the "tent". 

Look at their analogy... "BIG TENT". Nice foundation, a good swift wind, and the whole thing goes down. 

See, you have to standards, or absolutes to be a party, not this "whatever works for the good of all" garbage. 

There are people that don't want to work, they would rather you do everything for them. They are lazy and giving them money just makes them lazier. Then there are hard working people who are tired of paying HUGE amounts of the money they earn that the politicians just give to the lazy group, to waste. 

Wake up GOP. 

Hoffman would have won if you had put the real republican on your ticket. Look at the numbers...

And yet, you make choices that will keep you in the wilderness for another 40 years. (biblical reference). 

Who runs this party and why are they so stupid?

Ever heard of contract with America? Yeah, that one. Well, it worked as there were significant conservative principles that all the candidates agreed with, and the voters got behind them. And now look at you, nominating a liberal, and spending $900,000 to try and defeat a conservative... pathetic. If you want to be liberal, do like your candidate did and join the democrats. All you do is infuriate your true base, you know the FOUNDATION of the party...

You got your rear ends handed to you because you act like the liberal democrats. Sending huge pork projects home to your voters, and being corrupt, supporting the "stimulus", and "bail outs" just like the democrats? What is the difference?

"Dierdre Scozzafava, a moderate Republican, withdrew from the race Saturday under pressure from the party's right wing because of her support of abortion rights and same-sex marriage. She had still picked up 5 percent of the vote. 
Hoffman started at a distant third and was viewed as a spoiler at best, cutting away at Scozzafava and opening the door for Owens. But prominent Republicans such as former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty endorsed Hoffman instead of the party-picked Scozzafava. 
An Owens victory could signal renewed strength among Democrats, or at least reassure them of Republicans' perceived weakness. The seat has been strongly Republican for decades and is one of only three in the state's 29-seat delegation held by the party. Republican John McHugh vacated the seat in September to become Army secretary. 
"They're in a civil war over the definition of their party," said Paul Blank, a Democratic consultant. "And the extremists have won." 
No matter the outcome, Republicans will be sorting out their identity as the party tries to strike a balance between growing its ranks and preserving the values that set it apart from the Democratic Party. 
"I think that the Republican Party is broad enough to handle many different candidates, but the fact is that I'm a commonsense conservative Republican—I am not a radical," Hoffman said Monday. "The point is that Assemblywoman Scozzafava was not a moderate Republican. She was an ultraliberal Republican." "

Yes, ignoring the "extremists" as the liberals love to call people of conviction, will be a death blow to the republican party if they don't wake up. 

I for one will never again vote for a "mccain" type candidate. The reason the country and most Americans turned against Bush at the end was his willingness to try and partner with the liberals, and spend our tax money to give "special" rights instead of equal rights. 

Why is it that the liberal democrats never go across the isle, and yet the republicans think they have to get their approval all the time, while selling their values down the river. 

Just look at obamacare, it will increase the cost (guess Obama won't vote for it, huh?...) It does cover abortion, and it still has death panels in it... 

But, do the republicans stand up with conviction and character to refute it? Nope, the GOP nominates a liberal to the one seat that is opened up. 

Guess how she would have voted on Obamacare?...

And they lost. 

I for one am glad. I'd rather lose than have sell my principles down the river for a "liberal moderate" republican.
