Absolutely wrong if you go back and look at the exit polling and other post mortem data. Intuitively first: if the 100% Conservatives taking their marbles and going home were to blame, why did so many heroes of that same group go down in flames? It was the Reagan Democrats and other Social Conservatives that saw no difference between the two parties, much like the two head candidates this year, and they voted for the newer or more genuine Liberal.
Did you vote”Throw the Rino’s out” in 2006?
Er, because their usual supporters stayed home?
It wasn't just the RINOs that these idiots were protesting. I well recall it was the party and the president they were "teaching" also.
Nice try, but there isn't any doubt these for-sure yay-hoos got us into the mess we now find ourselves.
