Th electorate just kicked the GOP base in the balls, tossing out many conservatives in a GOP bloodletting.
Did you draw a lesson from that? Care to share?
Yeah! I think the pundants have it all wrong. This was never about wanting the dumbocrats running the government. This was about punishing the president about the real issues like ignoring the base when it came to the border issue and the budget. The POTUS was running around spending our money like it was his. He was unresponsive to the people who put him in the Whitehouse.
Conservatives are not war weary. We don't like the war... wish it was over but we have been behind the president all the way. I miss Rummy... This election was about the base punishing bad behavior. We liked the economy. We loved the Supreme Court Nom's. save the one that W had to rethink... What was her name? JD Hayworth was kicked out by a concerted effort of Hispanics to shut him up because he was right about the border. The base was willing to suffer through 2 years of pain to get our message out to the RINO's that will never support bad behavior. We truly wish to come out in 2008 to support a REAL conservative.
By the way, I broke down and voted. But I know alot of conservatives that stayed home.
