I just find it ironic that "the folks" are being blamed for the GOP performance this year when it was the money of people like Sheldon Adelson and Foster Friess that kept joke candidates like Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in the running for so long and it was the Kochs' money that got pissed away on badly done TV commercials instead of actually, you know, getting actual people to talk to actual people and tell them to vote for your candidate.

Granted, I sympathize philosophically with cerebral conservatives and mainstream Republicans, but it's hard not to feel sorry for the movement conservative rank-and-file who basically get chunks of red meat thrown at them by the Mitt Romneys of the world and then when the rest of us aren't persuaded, he turns around and blames them for his inability to get elected.

The primary cause, they say, is a complex and bloated bureaucracy.

You're basing your argument on an article from almost NINETEEN YEARS AGO?!
