I just don't like him all that much. I see his fingerprints where they shouldn't be. I didn't feel that way as this thread began but now I have decided.. Lott has been working against the conservative agenda to re-secure his position. Just gamesmanship. And it disappoints me.
You haven't provoked me.. I am saying that you are just wrong headed. Republicans have had their fill with RINOs like DeWine, Snow, Chaffee and Hegel. We will instead continue the process of educating and moving the center to the right.
The problem for the left is that the megatrend leading to the left has died in disgrace. Radical Feminism, Gay Marriage, Abortion, Athiesm, Socialism, Radical Environmentalism, Unionism and The Great Society have all been exposed as blind alleys that have swallowed human hopes and dreams and only brought evil.
For now, I am with the conservatives who intend to build a super-majority out of the best of America. Folks have gone on and on about Goebbels and how the BIG LIE can be made into the truth. But the facts are, just like poor Baghdad Bob found out, something that can only be forestalled, not prevented from finding the light.
The Dems ran the Generic opposition campaign trying to run Generic candidates and they won without any positions at all.
But now, they have to find a way to govern based on this mess and its biting them. It will bite them more as they try to return to their ideological base for direction. This is because the empirical evidence has stacked up against almost every one of the core Liberal values. Instead, core conservative and traditional values have been found to be foundationed on experience and reason. The traditional values were created as a means of passing down hard won knowledge.
This country can't take wild swings to either extreme. You take gradual steps to achive the goal. These Hail Mary passes toward the end of the game always end up being a fumble or an INT. 2006 just turned out to be a both.
