Speaking as one of the conservative independants you speak of,who backs many of your issues and has for YEARS ( one of which is pro life) I can't get behind this defeatist "we sure showed them by not voting" crap. All you really showed anyone is that you are ignorant and not dependable. If you are the "true conservative base" you certainly aren't very reliable and that makes me uncomforatble in backing things you propose (which is why I will not join the party). Nobody wants to waste their time and effort with people who will hang you out to dry or stab you in the back after you have supported their cause for years,just because things don't go 100% their way at all times. The fact that the "base" screwed over the house and senate majority ON PURPOSE really chaps my butt BIG TIME! Maybe I'll just start voting 3rd party and YOU SELF RIGHTOUS "VALUE VOTERS" can keep swinging in the wind.

Hey, I voted so don't blame me. I think about 90% of the conservative base did. A bunch of squishy evangelicals went over to the Dims. And lots of indies. Many of them voted for a Dim that at least sounded as conservative as the Republican incumbent. Add in the corruption, the wild spending, the Iraqi civil war, and sixth-year restlessness, you have the current situation.

A few of these we can't change. But some of the others we could have. And we might have saved one or both Houses if we had.

They didn't take it from us. We gave it to them.
