You're aiming for the wrong target. Conservatives turned out in big numbers and we voted for the Republicans over the socialists. The problem is that we lost a huge number of moderates and RINOs, particularly in the northeast and midwest, who voted for the Democrats.
These aren't true conservatives, these are people in the middle who support us on national security but left over Terri Schiavo and the sense that Bush wasn't doing a good job. Change has to come at the top. Convincing a few troublemakers on this site to reform won't change anything without good leadership for the millions of voters who are receptive to our message but still chose the other side this year.
Please do your homework again. In the Northeast/Midwest in small rural towns where light manufacturing exists, is where the Dems made inroads by 5 percent or less. Big issue is the effects of free trade on these communities. Include the south in the mix. Unabashed free trade is costing the GOP blue collar conservatives and future elections.
