Boy, is that a poor analogy. In fact, the conservatives got their butts kicked in 2006---Burns, Santorum, Allen, J. D. Hayworth, and DeWine. You can make excuses for each one of them, but ultimately, it hardly argues that people were "enraged" against RINOS. A lot of RINOS got kicked out too---but that doesn't explain why the conservatives, especially Allen and Santorum and Hayworth, weren't rewarded.

And I certainliy don't look at ANY of our candidates, except the nutjob Ron Paul, as "a lesser of two evils." I see all of them as infinitely superior to Hillary, PERIOD.

Probably guilt by association. From what I've seen, voters tend to either wholly embrace a party. Or not. When there is enough anger against the actions of a Republican President and Senate, even conservative House members that were opposing those actions get lumped in the same group in some voter's minds. Not everyone is on FR everyday getting their news firsthand and analyzing the information, unfortunately.

I think Guiliani will do more damage to the country in the long run. Damaging the GOP, just as Bush as done, will have consequences that go beyond one term.
