We’re so busy fighting the democrats that we’re losing the war badly. We see it all the time. Conservatives blaming democrats for things that have been going on for decades (even when the GOP was in control) and then screaming that we’ve got to elect republicans no matter how bad they are even if they’ll continue doing the liberal thing.
In this thread about energy independence it doesn’t take long for someone to come running to declare that Mitt St Jesus will save us from the EPA and it will be boomtimes in the energy industry. Obama doesn’t help matters much but he sure as hell didn’t start this decades old decline and Romney isn’t about to stop it.

Its Funny, Dems have to Campaign as Conservatives (I saw an ad for Claire McCaskil and she sounded like she wanted to be the second coming of Goldwater, but I know it is all lies)
And Repubs think they have to be liberals to win elections, when in truth that costs them more elections than I can count-2008,1996, the Congressional elections of 2006 etc etc.
