"But at least the Republicans were taught a lesson huh?"
It was the Republicans who lost it. They (we) strayed too far into Dumocrat territory. Only time will tell if they (we) actually learned anything. I tend to doubt it.
RINOs ALWAYS draw the 180 degree wrong "lessons" from any set of circumstances. Count on it.
What they learned is that people in this country are more left leaning than they thought. So we will end up with an even further left leaning Republican party. (What else are they to 'learn' when the Democrats win?)
Absolutely correct. I voted, but to tell the truth, Bush sat on his ass for the last year not bothering to make the conservative pitch or defend himself against the ceaseless attacks against him and the GOP - and considering that he has the bully pulpit and the Dems offered nothing, this last election was a situation that should have been but another rout same as the last election.
