100% wrong. Conservative did not lose. And liberals did not win.

Swing voters voted democrat.

That's. All. She. Wrote.

[BW2221]

Jennifer Granholm is living proof that clueless blonds are better in bed than as governors.

Conservatives lost because they deserved to. They failed to live up to the high standards of personal behavior they preach about. And that's what brought them down.

Bullshit. Conservatives didn't lose, Republicans did. As well they should have. When they figure this out, maybe it will finally turn out right.

[satan]

In a word - Bush.
In two words - Bush, Rove.

[Poincare]

I agree with Chuck's eloquent words about morality and character, but what beat us, conservatives AND republicans, was the old MSM. If the Dems had conducted the same Iraq war as Bush and Rumsfeld have the MSM would say it was the most brilliant, successful, and moral war in our history. And so on. The media swung the vote at least 15 points to the left.

[Senator Pardek]

You commie who're.

[SkyDancer]

No, it was the Republican's who lost. They deserved it. They're wimps.

[RichInOC]

The answer is one that may startle you. Conservatives lost because they deserved to. They failed to live up to the high standards of personal behavior they preach about. And that's what brought them down.

High standards. Great idea. Let's throw out all the ex-felons and disbarred lawyers. We don't really need that kind as conservative leaders...

"100% wrong. Conservative did not lose. And liberals did not win. Swing voters voted democrat."

Some good conservatives lost. You may argue that they lost for reasons other than being conservative. They still lost.

I think we as conservatives have less power then we did before the election. Therefore, again, conservatives lost.

[ShadowDancer]

You made me blush.

[ShadowDancer]

who're.

And yeah, I caught that.

[finnman69]

agreed about Santorum

[Senator Pardek]

And yeah, I caught that.

LOL - if you didn't, I'd be banned by now.

[ShadowDancer]

Don't you have something better to be doing with your time?

[Senator Pardek]

No way - I'm living the life of Riley up here in NJ at present.

[ShadowDancer]

I'm living the life of Riley

Har, you're a riot.

I'm getting tired of the missed assertions as to why this loss occurred. Nobody is looking far enough back into the media cycles to get the real answewr. Conservatism lost in 2006 because of many things, not the least of which was the failure of conservatives to nail the bastards insulting the President as stupid, a liar, etc. George Bush may not be the greatest president ever, but he sure as hell isn't stupid and democrats making thatr smear ought to be nailed as the bastards socialist they are, and he didn't lie us into a war so bastards like Russert and Matthews should be nailed in their hypocritical propagandist asses every time they make that lie public (as Matthews did repeatedly this night on his propaganda show). Conservatives cannot slink away without fighting when lies are spewed and expect the propagandist in media to stop being such blatant democrat operatives pushing their leftist crap daily. Ignorant voters had their ignorance reinforced with embraces of partial birth murder enablers and embryonic cannibalism. Why? Because we conservatives didn't fight when lies and insults were thrown repeatedly. Ignorant voters embraced cannibalizing embryo-aged human beings and partial birth killer enablers. Are we outraged? No, just stunned that our inaction had such consequences! Why did conservatism lose in 2006 (if it did, in fact)? Because we the people are too lazy to be involved where evil is rising in our midst.

[Senator Pardek]

Ruff!

In short, conservatives can fall on their own petards; but liberals, having no identifiable moral scruples, thus have no petards to fall on.

Before you can fix a problem you must first admit the problem exists.. Like treatment in AA...

My name is George Bush. And I am a drunken sailor.
