Ever since Tuesday and the outcome, I have been frantically trying to figure out how we as conservatives can stop this foolish, childish cut and run idea that the compassionate, caring (so they believe) democats are hoping to do.
First to all conservatives out there, we have to be able to communicate within our own ranks. To much of this election was about conservatives not being content with 80% of their ideas being advanced. Yes, on many issues Bush was more centrist than we would like, but we knew that going in. Yes, we had absolute retards (esp. senate) who were elected as repubs, but were obvisiously borderline socialist. Yes, We ALL have our own "pet" issues however, conservatives as a whole, this election acted like spoiled 4 year olds. We stamped our feet, and held our breaths because we weren't mature enough to look at the bigger picture, but only our pet issue. We were all upset because we couldn't find our own personal republican saviour. We overlooked the "big picture", under-estimated the effects of the MSM on the average voter, and we got spanked for it. You would think we would have learned from the Perot debacle. At this point all we cab do is stand stong and voice our opposition to the liberals. The more conservatives stand together, the better chance we will have in holding our own for the next 2 years. In the mean time, we need to watch our conservative representatives, support them when they advance a conservative agenda, and remind them of this election when they appear wobbly. The key to this is CONSTANT communication with our elected representatives.
The other thing is we have to stop blaming others, we are the ones that voted, Rush didn't cast your ballot, none of the radio show hosts did.

"...own personal republican saviour."

I love it! Sounds like a good tag line: 'Looking for my own Personal Republican Saviour.'

i pray that elected officals see that americans are not going to tolerate politics as usual ...this election ,though bad for the country, will hopefully make them realize that we are sick and tired of a do nothing ,no goals, pork barrel spending,leaderless congress. regardlesss of party affiliation they will be booted out of office.
this election removed a lot of good people with the bad...
hopefuly the republican party can bring some leadership in ,close ranks and get ready to deliver what they say they will do.we had a golden oportunity to change the course of this nation and instead our leadership in the congress forgot who "brought them to the dance ".
we voters are watching and expecting our national leaders to step up to the plate and lead.if not every two years we can and will make another statement...sit up pay attention.you are being held accountable...we demand and deserve conservative leadership..no more politics as usual.
