I’m somewhat optimistic that events will ultimately push things in the right direction for conservatives. Palin has the potential to unite a lot of conservatives, some number of indies and perhaps even some Blue Dog dems. And she is demonstrating that she doesn’t need the GOP to be a player.
It will be interesting to see if the passion finally being shown by conservatives will sustain itself through the next presidential election. Happily, The Usurper, Onada, gives us reason to be enraged every day with the direction the country is going.
I don't know how old you are but were you following politics closely 1991-1995? It is a period that haunts me, I was obviously younger, but we had real reason to hope then. Republicans had alternatives, they proposed budget cuts, and balanced budgets, and still won a landslide in 1994.
The nightmare of GWB and his republican prostitute congresses, and the current R party of opportunism is very depressing. They are against more deficit spending, only because they are out of power.
Don't forget it's against the rules to ping back that one Bushbot who used to post the “Pray for Bush posts” Especially for me , LOL
