In the end, the Republican "revolution" ran out of gas and out of vision. Too many congressional Republicans appeared to care more about maintaining power than using power to implement an agenda, which they also abandoned.
It's an interesting theory, and one that many of us conservatives are clinging to, but how does it explain the election loss of Rick Santorum?

(Just asking.)

"Republicans lost a significant part of their base in this election. Exit polls revealed nearly one-third of white evangelical Christians voted for Democrats, mostly because of perceived corruption in the GOP. They will continue to exercise influence within the Republican Party, but their days of veto power over policy and candidates may be over."

Bad logic. If anything this was an exercise of 'veto power' by the "white evangelical Christians". The only way the Republicans will have "lost a significant part of their base" is if they don't pay attention to the 'veto'. The GOP didn't lose the base, they ignored it.

I read yesterday that a number of GOP candidates that lost didn't even realize they were in trouble until a week or so before the election. That's an indicator of a failure to pay attention.

Democrats recruited more moderate and even some conservative candidates to blur their left-wing socialist image. But their party leadership is overwhelmingly liberal.

And there's the scam, these "new" democrats will vote the radical left pelosi line.

The president would be wise to build relationships, at least with the conservative and more moderate Democrats, in hopes of isolating the liberals.

Nah, he's figuring out how to work with the liberals in both parties to get his shamnesty passed. So much for that.

All talk. Pelosi and Schumer, both of whom look like they are in a permanent orgasm, are talking the same crap the demonrats were putting out in 1994. Nonpartisan, cooperation, and comity mean do it the demonrat way.

When I read the headline I thought December 1944, the Battle of the Bulge.

It is now time for General Georgie Patton to readjust the direction of his attack and destroy the enemy. In the snow on impassable roads in gloomy weather he pressed the attack and prevailed.

Winning is not the objective. The complete destruction of the enemy in the field is the objective.

Who is our General Patton?

every revolution nees a SOLUTION.

The only solution that the democrat party put forward is to promise to pose like conservatives but act like democrats.

We will see how much of a DINO is in the DINOs when the AMNESTY bill is put forward.

I really find it hard to believe that Evangelicals would vote for the party that promotes murder of the unborn.

You can't be what you claim to be if that's the case.

In a nutshell.

Rush Limbaugh also called it when he said Americans are basically a conservative people and the democrats, especially and only when campaigning for office, know that better than do the republicans.

That's funny, coming from McLame. Why didn't he bring up all the comments about pork on the floor of the Senate, like Coburn? AFAIK he didn't say a word. And while his fellow Senators are padding Senate bills with all their favorite projects for their home states, McLame does nothing for his state. Uh, besides Campaign Finance Reform, I mean.

The man is such an opportunist. He cares about himself, not Arizona.

You (democRats)have power now and can't blame Republicans..

I am frustrated.

Just as Clinton ascended to power in 1992 just as the economy, thanks to Pres. G.Herbert W. Bush, was surging ahead... so the DemocRats are coming to power now right when the economy is reaching its zenith.

They will bogusly claim credit, no doubt.

It's like the idiot who stands on the shore and orders the tide to rise and fall... and then believes HE is the cause.

It is crystal clear that GOP policies continue to improve economies.

It is frustrating to see how the craphead media constantly twists the facts to attempt to give credit to the Dems.

"In the end, the Republican "revolution" ran out of gas and out of vision."

Actually, the Republicans were diverted from the continuing battle against Marxism by the War on Islamism. Unfortunately, both wars need to be waged. The obvious connections between the two need to be framed in a way that will bring back the moral clarity of the real fight.

The basic premise of this article is incorrect. Tuesday's election was hardly a "counter-revolution" in any sense of the word -- any more than Olympia Snowe's victory in Maine was a sign of conservative GOP strength in New England.

Good. Having hardcore religious fundamentalists appearing to run the party has hurt us far more than it has helped us. There's not much you can do when the person you're trying to persuade to vote GOP says, "Sorry, but I'm just not comfortable having evangelicals telling me how to live my life." (And I've lost count of how often I've gotten this line over the last six years.)

I'm usually a Cal fan ... not so much now, but this sentence sticks out as anive in the main: "Democrats ... You have power now and can't blame Republicans (though you'll try) if you fail." Cal doesn't seem to realize that the propaganda arm of the DNC (the entire of alphabet net work leftists) will make sure Democrats are never blamed for their failings over the next two years. Since 2000 we've had a democrat party functioning to accomplish only one thing in order to empower themselves/their party, OBSTRUCTIONISM at any cost, even America's safety and our courageous military being trashed by fools like Kerry. We've seen how the media leftists have painted the truth as anything but the actual truth. It will not get better now that their efforts have been rewarded by duped voters.

Are their any beige, brown, red or yellow evangelical Christians in America?

Haggard alone had 14,000 member congregation and his 30,000,000 member association.

It is stated elsewhere the election hinger on as few as 50,000 votes.

And apparently at least 10,000,000 white evangelicals voted democrat.
