I just want to say I am oh so happy with those who started lecturing me when we lost Congress in 2006, who told me it was a GOOD thing, as it meant we'd come back in 2008 with a strong conservative presidential candidate who'd wipe the floor with the liberal dems in the final election. Yeah, it was such a GOOD thing that we lost Congress because we weren't conservative enough, and that strategic loss was just paving the way for a REAL conservative to win over the hearts of America with his conservative views. Because of course Jimmy Carter led to Ronald Reagan, so it ALWAYS works according to plan, these victories for the left.
I reflect on all those who pissed and whined because Fred Thompson wasn't cute enough and didn't put on enough flashy ads to hold your attention, because of course all a conservative had to do was announce and America would rally to him, because it was a GOOD thing the dems won in '06, strategy, you know...
Do I sound bitter? You're damned right I am. THIS is what you get when you have these "strategic" wins--you set the "moderates" and lefties up for more wins.
That's alright. We're a patient lot. The Pubbies just need some more learning. The "Sore Winner" and his backers will be singing a different tune in August as the panic sets in, as they realize their vain attempt will have been for naught. And come November, finally, the Conservatives will have had their say (*crickets*).
Too bad really, but a foregone conclusion.
