Republicans had a President, Congress, Senate, and a “fair” (equally balanced Supreme Court) for 6 years. They didn’t play “hardball” (which would also have been fair ball, since all they had to elimate was funding to the left). They didn’t play hardball because they were mainly moderates helped into canidacy by the mainstream Republican organizations, which are fighting to stay a strong minority in government rather than trying to take the whole game and change America. We conservatives still outnumber the liberals, but another few years of indoctrination, left-wing funding through government, cheating at the ballot box so that regular Americans become dispirited, and we won’t. My wife has friends from Venezuela who think they see what happened to their country happening here. My grandmother switched to Republican, once, during Clinton, and then left when we didn’t bring him down, because after a lifetime of “winning” with the Dems, she didn’t understand why we would choose to lose when we had him in our cross-hairs and required only a party line vote to pull the trigger. Republicans are losers and choose to stay that way. Conservatives are a minority but the tail doesn’t wag the dog as the liberals do with the Dems. We aren’t as tough politically.
Rant over.
It’s time for a new party. The Conservative Party with people like Sarah Palin
