***No, we on the right did it.***

It’s not so much that we did it, but that we let it happen and we allowed ourselves to believe that some of our leaders were actually conservative.

“It’s not so much that we did it, but that we let it happen and we allowed ourselves to believe that some of our leaders were actually conservative.”

By we you mean conservatives then I believe you are incorrect. Not so long ago, 2006 to be exact, on this site many people were telling others to stay home and not vote to teach us a lesson. Now look who’s been taught the lesson? The Dems have just about a filabuster proof Senate a Marxist for president and tax increases on the horizon. We as a whole need to get our acts together and promote the conservative politicians. Promote the likes of a Duncan Hunter, Tom McClintock etc.

We as a group didn’t press our leaders the way the Left did and we are all going to pay.

End of semi-rant.

Like the European Jews of the 1930's. And like them, most of us will hope for the best and do nothing.

Just biding my time 'til my cattle car rolls in.

When you look at leaders like Newt - the thought occurs to me why Sarah got such a welcome - Newt cheated on his wife and on the conservative principle of smaller government. The first time in each case it is shame on you - Newt - the second time shame on me. Tom Delay fits into the same category...spenders and cheaters (he took the gifts and trips and golf outings) - even if legal they had been a violation of the public trust.

When Sarah showed up she was someone who had broken the back of these people in Alaska and might clean house in Washington. We all knew that the house needed cleaning that is why we lost the congress and then the Presidency.

People like Jeff Flake, Mickey Cantor and Tom Coburn are smart but they have all the style of the label on a jelly jar. Sarah has the message delivery that could actually change the culture of politics. That is too much to ask of one person, but that is what happened with Reagan and maybe she can start a school of change.

We are doomed as long as people like Newt continue to dominate Fox news - we need people that are beyond smart - they need to be free of the taint of scandal. Newt thinks he was wronged, but it is we who he wronged. He has to leave the airwaves and return to PRIVATE life. We need a new school and new leaders.
