You're welcome. I mean, it's mind-boggling. How many vanity threads did you see telling FReepers to "GET OUT, GET OUT, AND VOTE, VOTE, VOTE!!?"

Now we're being told by the chattering boot lickers of the GOP that conservatives stayed home.

First of all, HOW THE HECK DO THEY KNOW WHO STAYED HOME OR WHO VOTED FOR WHO?

See, this is EXACTLY what's wrong with the GOP. It's this pompous, elitist, smug attitude they displayed to the grassroots. "Oh those conservatives will vote for us, trust us!" They keep trying to scare conservatives with this VOTE FOR US OR ELSE PELOSI WILL BE SPEAKER! crap, the "lesser of the two evils," all the while thinking that the magical "R" next to politicians' name is going to seal the deal for them. They apparently forgot that conservatives don't march in lockstep like Dim voters do. We analyze the issues and the candidates, and if they don't represent our views, why vote for them?

If the Republicans had actually been conservative, they might have done better. As it stands, they did a pretty pathetic job, comments by arrogant newbie neocon's notwithstanding

Do the dims better represent your views?
