The GOP leadership sold its soul and sold out its core constituency for the figurative 40 pieces of silver. Whats more, their apologists on this forum expect that all Conservatives should have followed lock-step behind them. Conservatism is an ideology, not a party. If the GOP wants the money, votes, and support of conservatives it must be conservative. We are not here to represent the party, the party is here to represent us. As Reagan once said of the Democratic Party; "it left me, I didn't leave it". Let's see if it can find its way home.
We can elect red meat conservatives in some congressional districts, but not in battleground state wide elections.
Ditto for the national election. One need only read the comments here that decry President Bush for not being a "real" conservative, yet one need only check Southack's page to see of all his "real" conservative accomplishments.
Then go post on a LIBERTARIAN forum; n00b.
You've got your history all wrong. The public turned against Vietnam during the Johnson administration. Nixon was voted in to clean it up. If your concern is ensuring support for our warfighters, this election result must be devastating to you. Anyone who participated in putting democrats into Congress just broadcast to the world that the country no longer supports our war in Iraq.
"Maybe this will wake up the party."
Well, the frog is pretty much dead. Don't be surprised if what you end up with is a lot more liberal than what got killed off.
I live in a purple state & it just went more blue. I can't remember the last time a conservative won a statewide race here & things are looking down instead of up.
Can't say I blame her.
LOL! You're the very same poster that said you voted for Kinky and that the illegal invasion was your priority. HAR! Enjoy the democrat reign -- they are FOR amnesty!
Me either.
He is? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROTFLOL
Yep, your state is a democrat stronghold.
LOL! Yep!
The test, the test, I want the test administered NOW!
And, I despise your two senators. I feel sorry for good people like you in your state.
LOL -- yes, the test is truly needed.
Wait! The test can be your very first vanity post! LOL!
Don't I know it! I'd take a RINO over either of the two that "represent" me now, though Sensenbrenner has done a pretty good job of kicking butt on my behalf. Course, he's losing his committee chair early next year now... Not to worry though, I'm sure Conyers is a ::cough:: ::cough:: ::cough:: worthy replacement.
Yes! You do have Sensebrenner and of course we know that MSM will still give him face time, right? /s
I live in an island surrounded by moonbats!! When Feingold is on CSPAN I can't even watch, cuz I wanna put my foot through the tube.
