Liberals do what we expect them to do. Nor do we have any influence on what they do.
But I expect better from conservatives, then to pout and hand over the country to the leftist liberals.
If all conservatives had gotten out and voted Republican and Dems would still have won, THEN I wouldn't blame conservatives, because they indeed would have done all they can, to stop the liberals.
But when so many conservatives stayed home, it IS their fault that the Dems had won.
I don't believe your contention. The conservatives don't stay home, they go out an vote for the Republicans in every election. The reason the GOP lost this year is because they lost too many swing voters.
How come you don't show statistics for how many liberal Republicans (and the state party) didn't vote for Simon. By your definition, it's okay for Republicans to not support conservative candidates, but they have to rally around liberal candidates. Loyalty only goes one way.
Explain to me why leftwing Democrats can get elected in very conservative states, but moderate or conservative Republicans are "not allowed" to run in blue or purple states.
I question the premise--Reps got beat because the left sold the middle on their view of Iraq and the Rep Congress was so odious--but for the sake of argument, let's accept it.
You are flat wrong. The "fault" that caused the Dems to win was NOT the electorate, conservative OR liberal. It was the stupid, wasteful, corrupt, hypocritical elements of many of the Republican candidates. The electorate was the messenger. It's getting tiresome to watch it being shot at.
