Well put but we owned both branches of gov and nothing. All conservatism got us is 19 trillion in short term debt. We all know the rest of the story.
Yes, that’s what I said.
If the Dubya and the GOP managed to score on one important (and enduring) conservative goal in that four year window, I think conservative GOP voters today would be far more traditional in their approach for a candidate.
I think the lesson is very clear now. Democrats win, and the liberal agenda advances quickly. Republicans win, and the liberal agenda advances less quickly. It’s a reckoning and I am not pleased it’s happening, but it’s the only rational choice left.
