Why did the Republicans lose in the 2006 elec­tion? I would suggest to you it is not because they were conservative, but rather because too many of them, particularly the leadership in both houses, had essentially abandoned the conservative princi­ples on which many of them had run for office. We only have to look at the spending that took place. We have to look at the expansion of government.

Exactly. Bush the Elder lost in 1992 for abandoning the Reagan legacy. The GOP won Congress in 1994 by returning to such. And the GOP managed to drift far enough away by 2006 that they lost again.

That is the constant.

Agree, agree, agree . . . . . . 1,000 times 1,000 I agree. The MSM keeps telling us that we lost over the War. Meese is telling us the real reason and conservatives need to read, heed and repeat this message until even the slowest Democrat gets it!!!!
