I hear you, but it’s not 1995 anymore. Today we have Al Gores’ internet, and the Tea Party, to name two critical differences.

I would take the demographics and electorate of 1995 America over today's America any day of the week. That country, just 18 years ago, would have laughed at the prospect of a marxist chicago muslim trying to be president. That country is gone. The Tea Party arose because a huge chunk of the country has gone socialist, been overrun by immigrants, legal or otherwise, or is just plain ignorant, uneducated and uninformed, a product of the education system. What I'm saying is we had more to work with then than we do now in terms of political muscle, and still we were saddled with puppy dog Rinos and a media that twisted the facts.

So, while I appreciate that the internet has helped somewhat in educating and informing conservatives, to a great extent it is preaching to a choir that is shrinking. We may have time to turn things around, but we have a much smaller margin for error than we did back then.
