Have got to agree with you. Had Republicans been conservative all along, they would have had no problem. This all started from the top of the Administration. It turned off a lot of voters, who just didn't bother to show up. The Democrats won nothing. They even ran as conservatives. Republicans have not been listening to their base for sometime. It cost them!
What will be interesting now is how the Democrats are going to govern. Will they expose who they really are?
Yes. The 'Rats have already started to take off their masks.
"Will they expose who they really are?"
No, and neither will their fans in the press.
Republicans keep spending Federal funds,
on non-Federal budget items,
blurring differences.
At least Republicans supported lower tax rates,
and will have alot of spending cuts to do,
when and if, the press and Democrates are revealed.
