When Ken "purse strings" Mehlman called me to donate, I gave him heck about pulling the old democrat trick of just trying to scare people.
The entire thing was just like the democrats saying " Republicans want to hurt women, children and the elderly".
His was "vote Republican or Nancy will be house leader".
He would not support most Conservatives.
I call for "Purse Strings" to step down.
Yeah, an if we had budget-balancing spending cutting Congress, we would have done better with the base and better with Independants. Instead the GOP was looked at like a bunch of big special-interest pork-barrel free spenders.
Wait until the Independents get two years of Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, and Hillary.
Rove's concept of "the base" (how do you say that in Arabic?) is flawed because his base is not now, and never will be a majority.
What's happened is that the Liberty voter has been pushed out - and somebody, preferably somebody other than Karl Rove, is going to have to figure out how to get him back.
Not if the base continues to make the tent smaller.
When you try to stand for everything you stand for nothing. You lost because the RNC does not stand for anything.
So the AP implies that Republicans were not Liberal enough and that's why they lost.
Interesting that despite all the "comprehensive immigration reform," the Democrats got an even higher percentage of Hispanic votes. What a waste of time the administration spent courting the votes of illegals and those that support them. If they started building a wall 2 years ago, when we had Republican majorities, they might have brought in "independent" voters instead of turning them away. Now the money earmarked for the wall will be spent on comfort stations in the desert for illegal aliens.

Well, at least we know that Neil Boortz is happy!
"``The Republican base turned out and held,'' said Whit Ayres, a GOP strategist"
There is a guy that needs fired. Someone that takes hard lessons and twists them around to justify a losing agenda. How Clintonesque.
I don't think the base is too thrilled with simply choosing the lesser of two evils, however.
I wish the he** this idea of Independent voters would just shut the F*** up. They are not and, there is no such a thing as an Independent voter, they are Democrats, nothing more or nothing less. I watch the senate and I watch the house when they are in session. I watch the voting from both sides of the isles and the so call Independent always votes democrat.
So lets call a spade what it is and drop this word Independent and call it what it is, Democrat!!!!!!!!!!!
Homosexuals backed the socialist 100-0 after backing them 105-0 in the last election.

Dead people backed the socialists 100-0 after backing them 100-0 in the last election.
The French backed the socialist 100-0 after backing them 100-0 in the last election.
Illegals backed the dims 100-0 after backing them 100-0 in the last election.
The stupids, baby makers, drunks, felons, drug addicts, wannabees, has beens, bums, drop outs, backed the socialists 100-0 after backing them 100-0 in the past elections.
Just wanted the total voting record made public. /sarcasm still on.
We had been winning them for a decade, but this time, we lost em. Why? They were sick if Iraq. Thats it. Nothing else really mattered. Had Iraq rebuilt itself a year ago and we had been able to pull out and everything went ok, Republicans would have won. I hear alot of whining about Republicans not being Conservative enough, and personally, I AGREE with that assessment, but I am not so sure the swing voters gave a cr*p about that.
When you can't tell the difference between Dems and Repubs something is wrong.
"hold on to base" = "base voting AGAINST Democrats, not FOR Republicans" (that is essentially what I did)
Another thing I noticed, Hispanics voted for dems, too. Are you listening, President Bush? What really surprised me the most was that Asians voted for the dems. I am taking it that Asians would be mostly Oriental. Big business, which according to the exit polls, went mostly Repub. So it just doesn't make sense.
I think they are incorrect about the base holding.
