We have lost a battle. We have not lost the war.

Conservatives need to see this as an opportunity, NOT a disaster.

To start with NEW Congress, NEW Leadership. Time for a hard charging no nonsense leadership in the US Senate and US House.

Time for the Republican Insurgency to teach the Democrats what a REAL quagmire looks like.

They wanted it. They lied to the American people about their real agenda to get it. Let them enjoy their Phyrric victory in 2006. They won most races by a few thousands votes. Let them go home in 2008 and try to defend their record of voting for Ms Nancy and Hillary Clinton's Big Socialist Agenda after running as Republican Lite in 2006.

Our job going forward is prevent them from doing too much damage between now and then

1st?

[MNJohnnie]

Listen to Rush on Line.

Agreed! This is the dawning of a new day and we can emerge from this stronger than we ever have been, if we play our cards right.

[A.Hun]

Hey Johnnie! Rush will put it in perspective for us!

[conservativecorner]

Agree 100% with your assessment. They wanted to lead because they supposedly have all the answers. We know they don't, and it will be funny watching Nancy chase cats for two years because the elected candidates are more Conservative than the demoncrat liberal leadership. Should make for many popcorn times over the next two years.

I posted this on another thread; I stand by it.

This was a political re-alignment and anybody who denies it is a hopeless Pollyanna.

Two other things are also evident:

1. The pundits like Rush Limbaugh who chortled that the Democrats were in the process of self-immolating were blind as a bat — it was the Republicans who were fracturing and imploding.

2. The mainstream media trumps the new media: The MSM has the power of images, the new media has only rhetoric and the printed word.

[Echo Talon]

Time for the MAN to go on offense. :)

[GodBlessUSA]

We have lost the battle we have not lost the war

Well said! Thanks :)

[American Quilter]

I agree, Johnnie. I just hope the Republicans get the message. And that the damage coming in the next two years can be repaired.

[The_Republican]

It would have helped if you didn't worship the previous leadership....

Searching for new demi-gods.....

sad...

[LibWrangler]

Thanks Johnnie.

Now let's get to work and plan for 2008.

[Constantine XIII]

Geez, no kidding!

I'm already fed up with all of these retarded, whiny 'HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME?!!!" self pitying end-of-the-world threads.

Instead of cluttering up FR with their lamentations and recriminations, why don't they make a myspace page, start wearing black, and cut themselves out of our misery like all of the other internet drama queens do?

Sheesh.

[RobFromGa]

Our other job is to pick excellent candidates for 2008 in any race that is vulnerable in any way, and to see that we sell the electorate on the differences between our candidate and their opponent.

[KTM rider]

Fresh meat for elrushbo....

this should be very entertaining

my prediction is that Rush presents the angle that a little suffering between now and 2008 will be a good thing ....

after all,... how much damage can they do ?, we still have veto, and the commander in chief controls troop deployment, not Pelosi/Murtha

[JFC]

well said MNJohnnie

[tiredoflaundry]

Conservatives need to see this as an opportunity, NOT a disaster.

I'm trying very hard to see it that way. It might take a day or too to see it clearly though.

[RedCell]

I was giving myself unitl 11:59 PM to get through the mourning process. Eff that ish. I'm ready to go. Let's regroup, get focused and get moving.

[sono]

Here ... work N lurk mode ON.

[navynucmom]

Here...sorta.

[LibertyLee]

Good afternoon, Johnnie...Thank you very much for the ping. Here in work, lurk, n'lunch mode hoping Rush has some stirring words...
