It is amazing that after getting clobbered for the third election in a row in the Senate, that we have so many people who want to keep doing the same thing, expecting a different result.
This is a conservative country, and the majority of states are also conservative. It makes no sense that Harry Reid controls the Senate, except for the incredible hamfisted behavior of conservatives. It certainly cannot be attributed to the brilliance of the left.
There is a subset of conservatives who find some kind of a badge of honor by supporting the worst pro life candidates they can possiby find, as if they get extra credit for standing up for certain issues when the candidate is embarrassing. And as a bonus, they get to sit on their high horse and claim that everyone opposing their awful candidate is part of the RINO Rove establishment pro abort underground.
Then there are others who simply look at issue surveys and act like support for the right issues is all that matters, and they never consider that other factors are also important.
I would invite both groups to open their minds and consider that there are good candidates who also believe the right things and will vote the right way....and it is actually NOT a badge of honor to throw in with a loser just because he/she has the right beliefs. The right beliefs are not that rare.
Analogy: When Obama indicated that he was going to roll back Reagans work as the goal of his presidency, I agreed with Obama - he is indeed focused on Reagan. When Rove said Akin was a problem, I agreed with Rove. Now I may never agree with either man again, and I certainly don't agree with how they want to proceed from here. But within the narrow confines of what they said, I agree.
