If the GOP congessmen had all listened to conservative's criticisms and STOPPED the earmarks; fought the media more; stood up for conservative principles; exposed and expunged all the corruption; handled the Middle East better and fought for our side like Dems fight for THEIR side we wouldn't have lost the Congress.

You say conservatives should'nt have criticised the GOP, that we should have just been cheerleaders and maybe that would have kept the voters happy with their congressmen, but in my opinion, EVERYONE knew about the earmarks, the increased spending and the corruption, and conservatives screaming about it didn't take down the GOP any more than if we had kept quiet with our criticisms, in fact, if our criticisms had been heeded, the criticisms would have kept the Congess in GOP hands.

Precisely.

Why don't you link any post where I said anything close to that?

What I did say was:

Imagine how much it must suck to be the Freepers around here who have done nothing except trash Bush and the GOP for the last seven years.

Now if you're going to deny that the Patsies and the StormFront group and all the rest of the unappeasables around here haven't been relentlessly trashing Bush since 1999, I'm going to say you haven't been paying attention.
