"keep getting clobbered" Really? How does that explain the last twenty of twenty-eight years with Republicans in the White House

We are talking more about conservatives than Republicans. What have we achieved in the last 30 years. Not much. Yes we won the cold war, but that was not just a conservative victory, it was a victory across the board. We had the help of our allies and what was once a sane Democratic Party (Truman, JKF).
We have taxes at a reasonable rate but we have not put a halt to the spending and the growth of government. Yes we grew slower than what we would have but is that a real conservative accomplishment?
Immigration is a flat out disaster at every level. No more need be said about that. I could go on but what's the point. We haven't advanced many true conservative principles.
As far as abortion goes, we haven't repealed Rowe v. Wade and it doesn't look like we will anytime soon if ever. So the Welfare State we created in the early part of the 20Th Century continues to grow and we can't seem to stop it. I don't care if the occupant of the White House is a Republican the growth and power of government just seems to proceed. We have fought a good rear guard action but we must face that fact that we are losing That's what I meant when I said we were getting clobbered.
