No, I probably took the same courses you took.
By the way, happy about the election results? Your boys really screwed up big time, didn't they - I mean Bush and Rove. Too bad they didn't listen to their conservative base - like this writer, Tancredo, Kyle, et al. instead of the all-approving Bushbots.
The American people were pretty tired of the amnesty crap and they voted out a bunch of Rinos. They also were confused about the policy in Iraq. Bush had a whole slew of perfectly legitimate reasons for invading Iraq but - inarticulate as ever - was totally incapable of explaining them. He also forgot about basic Republican values like a balanced budget.
But since he has picked another illegal alien apologist, Martinez of FLorida, as head of the Republican party in the U.S, he apparently hasn't learned much - which doesn't surprise me.
Unfortunately some good solid Republicans like Santorum went, but Chaffee, DeWine and Tommy Kean Junior were flushed. By the way, you might want to know that little Rino Tommy Kean Jr was blaming Bush for his loss, instead of the stupid campaign he ran. The RINOs are notorious cannibals.
The Democrats didn't win this election - the Republican leadership - Bush, Hastert, Frisch lost it. They lost it over the Dubai Port Deal, the Harreit Meir caper and numereous other actions which totally defied logic.
I hope we conservatives can take the party back again in 2008 from the RINOs and Bushbots and nominate somebody who represents the core base of the Republican party and is attractive and intelligent enough to get enough of the independent voters - someone other Rudy and John McCain.
If not, you will see the Republican Party drift ever leftwards and become ever more irrelvant while another party which offers a clear option to the Democrat Bolsheviks in Congress takes over as a second viable political party.
Then all the limousine liberal RINOs can off somewhere, sit around in their country clubs and talk about the good old days by themselves.
This defeat was not the fault of Bush or Rove but was a failure all down the line. Neither of them put George Allen's foot in his mouth. Neither of them caused the people of Pennsylvania to turn on Santorum because he was too conservative for them.
Conservatives did not desert the GOP, Independents and Moderates did ably assisted by the Treason Media's constant LIES. Nor was there anything the "base" could have down to change things. Tancredo has NO national appeal and probably NO state appeal for that matter.
There is no difficulty explaining Iraq but none matters against the constant LIES of the Treason Media. How does a reasonable media HIDE an entire nuclear research program Saddam subcontracted to Libya when it was ADMITTED by Libya and the equipment turned over to the US? How many Americans were even aware of this? And this is just ONE of the many suppressions the Treason Media used against the President.
The election showed that the GOP can be painted as extremist and until we deal with that we will lose. Until the Treason Media is neutered America is in deep trouble.
Illegals are NOT a winning issue either as I said six months ago while the mobs were rampaging and hyperventilating. That is when the election was lost when the RAT run demonstrations were used to turn people against the GOP. The utter falsity of your claim will be shown when amnesty sails through Congress because the House lost too many conservatives to stop it. The vote was much more of a vote FOR amnesty than against it.
Not one vote was lost because of Meir nor should it have been even though her giving in to the howling mob was a shame. Dubai ports was a perfect example of the Party of Treason using brainless conservatives to undermine the President. Anyone who was so used should never call themselves conservative just admit they are easily manipulated puppets at the command of the Treason Media and happy to join Schumer's schemes.
Faux conservatives are too few to do anything but bitch and whine so there is NO chance of having a more conservative party in 08 particularly after this rejection of conservatives as extremists. These are the people who hate EVERYBODY oppose EVERYBODY with even slight name recognition. These are the 5% of the party (if they are even Republicans which is not likely) which calls the other 95% "RINO".
