Perhaps you can console Santorum, and the various other solid conservatives who were blown out in previously supportive districts.

Santorum, who ran unopposed in the primary? Santorum, who was part of the RNC support team that kept a rock-ribbed social conservative like Specter over a RINO like Toomey? (Oh wait, I've got that reversed...) Are you going to tell me the Vast RNC Social Conservative Conspiracy prevented anyone from running against Santorum in the primaries? If so, will you cite evidence to support your claim?

You claim you have predicted the 2006 election, but you're only half right. Your prediction of defeat came true, but your concept of the reasons for the defeat was not only wrong, but has been comnpletely disproven with empirical data, just like the 2004 results. It's sort of like a person in 1942 predicting that Germany would lose the war, but saying the reason they would lose was because the German Army had inferior soldiers. Same result, clueless reasoning.

I haven't seen you cite a verifiable fact yet, even though you're discussing the attitudes of the most surveyed and studied electorate in the history of the world. Now that makes for a really compelling case!

Ya know....some people on this forum have been telling me the same thing for years...Where's the cites, blah, blah.

How about this....I'm quoting myself.....

Har, har, har!

I don't need to quote some moron pundit who gets paid for a opinion to verify my own. It is what it is, and from responses I get in private, I am hitting the right buttons.

Most people don't know how or why they feel as they do. The research into this is always flawed. People take the opinion that most likely represents what they want to project. The truth is usually just underneath the veneer. Almost all people lie to pollsters. Some intentionally, many just don't understand their feelings and biases.

One thing for sure, the general electorate won't be electing conservatives back to a majority for some time to come. At least until the tarnished reputation has been repaired and this will take some time and effort. It might be necessary for the party to distance it's self from the Conservative handle.( I'm now ashamed to say) Because the party did some sorry things in my name.

Yes, Silverback, it really is that bad. I think I'm all done ranting. You have not changed a whit over the years, and I would not expect you to. You don't need to believe a word of it. In fact, I hope you don't.

It's better that way.

MR. SILVERBACK WROTE: "You [Cold heat] claim you have predicted the 2006 election, but you're only half right.

BINGO!!! Mr. Silverback, you are EXACTLY RIGHT!!!
