We gave the Republican Party the presidency and both houses of Congress, and it gave us the finger.
The biggest difference is the Rats will just get us to the disaster of big govt in every aspect of our lives quicker. The Pubs quickly moved to the "center" after the debacle of 2006. The calculation being "if we push those hard right conservatives and Christians into the background we can get the soccer moms and independents". The Pubs got neither and now we have nothing.
The answer has always been push the country club blue nosed Pubs to the corner and put conservatism out front. Yes that includes those "wacky" Christians who believe in protecting innocent life.
If we would just stand up for FREEDOM, LIFE and the opportunity to PURSUE HAPPINESS we can gain a majority again. We need to preach that govt control over your life may guarantee some level of security, but it does so by destroying the human spirit to be free.
“Wait’ll you see the finger the Democrats will give you.”
That is exactly the kind of thinking that lost McCain this election. Fear has been shown, as a motivator, to be extremely lacking.
