Robert D. Novak: Why Republicans lost

On Tuesday, Republicanism, not conservatism, lost

After the Thumpin' Say a prayer for the republic.

From time to time, I’ll ping on noteworthy articles about politics, foreign and military affairs. FReepmail me if you want on or off my list.

I agree.

Interesting the two things the President pushed through in the name of Compassionate Conservatism (No child and Medicare Prescription) were democratic, large governement vs what most conservatives want; he twisted a lot of GOP arms to get it passed.

Along with illegal immigration (-- another thing the dems want) these large government issues is what made many conservatives sit out the election. I don't know what to say about the libertarians, a third party vote is what Hillary is depending on and a lot of people voted libertarian rather than vote for either side. Do the libertarians really want to see Charlie Rangle take away their guns (he's already saying he wants to work with Bloomberg to do just that) and other constitutional rights?

After a nasty campaign season in which both sides traded insults and accusations, can they work together in the future? It is a question sure to be directed at Republicans and Democrats, but it might be profitably be asked of feuding libertarians and social conservatives as well. ----

Old Fusion ....... Confusion

Darn, I thought this post would be about Fusion.

Might not be possible. Listening to Bush, he almost sounded relieved, now that he'll get his way on immigration if he wants it. He even has a better chance of getting his pal Harriet to the SC now, should the opportunity come up.

He's not a good enough actor to not show the kind of disappointment this election should have caused him.

I'm feeling very cynical at the moment.
