Limbaugh's right, of course, but he misses -- or doesn't address -- an important point: Many "conservatives" who didn't vote last year don't care about the consequences. They just want to pyss on people who have disappointed them. They're no more responsible than a two-year-old.
You could also look at the Dem takeover in another light: It served as a wake up call to the RINOs and big spenders that conservative support is not a given and has to be earned.
Yes, I held my nose and voted for him in 2004. And I voted as near Republican as I could in 2006.
Bush's unnecessary spending, his failure to prosecute criminal Democrats, his failure to clean out Foggy Bottom, his love of Mexico over the US, his deals with Saudi Arabia, his failure to let the military win the war, etc., adds up to a massive amount of disillusionment that overwhelmed many ungrounded voters.
There are many other Bush failures too. People can't see a dime's worth of difference between Whorhay and Dems in charge.
Had to be repeated ... boldly.
"Many "conservatives" who didn't vote last year don't care about the consequences."
I keep hearing this mantra and I'm not buying it. It was the stupid people in the middle, the so-called moderates, that cost us the election. You know, the people who don't know what the hell they believe until someone tells them. Well, the democrats did a better job of telling them then our side did.
