(Restoring Liberty editor’s note: This is just more smoke and mirrors. These supposed “conservative groups” are the exact same ones that have refused to support real anti-establishment candidates time and time again. In fact, many of the below-groups have – like in Alaska – actually supported the Establishment candidate (Murkowski). Don’t buy it. They’re just a “pressure relief valve”, trying to make you think they’re really fighting for your freedom. In reality, they’re in bed with the enemy. If you know of any conservative groups that are truly fighting against the Establishment, please comment below)

A group of conservative leaders announced at a press conference today that they had sent a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) calling on him and the other four members of the Senate Republican leadership team to step down over their failure to keep their promises.

“We call on all five members of the GOP leadership to step down or for their caucus to remove them as soon as possible,” said Senate Conservatives Fund President Ken Cuccinelli, who formerly served as attorney general of Virginia.

In addition to McConnell, the other Senate Republican leaders are Assistant Republican Leader John Cornyn (Texas), Republican Conference Chairman John Thune (S.D.), Republican Conference Vice Chairman Roy Blunt (Mo.), and Republican Policy Committee Chairman John Barrasso (Wy.)

“This pattern of failure of McConnell’s gang of five leadership team, while loathing and attacking their own base, the most loyal block of voters that has elected them, and all of their caucus members, can no longer be tolerated,” Cuccinelli said.

WASHINGTON – Conservative leaders are steaming that Republicans failed to make President Obama a one-term president and are criticizing Mitt Romney for not pursuing a conservative enough agenda in the presidential race.

At a news conference at the National Press Club the day after the election, Richard A. Viguerie, the chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, even called for the removal of Republican leaders like RNC chairman Reince Priebus, National Republican Senatorial Committee chairman John Cornyn, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner.

“Republican leaders behind the epic election failure of 2012 should be replaced with leaders more in tune to the conservative base of the Republican party,” he said.

Viguerie also argued that Romney aides including Ed Gillespie, Stuart Stevens, Neil Newhouse and even unaffiliated Republican strategist Karl Rove “should never be hired to run or consult on a national campaign again.”

As for Romney not campaigning conservatively enough, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List, says the Republican nominee should not have shied away from a debate on social issues.
