Do you suppose the results might of been different if Conservative Talk Show hosts, National Conservative Columnists and supposedly Conservative Websites did not spent 40% or more of their time shooting their own side in the back?
Thank you for that last post. You know I'm with you all the way.
Listen to Rush...
he is telling you why we lost.....
and we will continue to lose if we don't learn....don't blame conservatives.....
Yes I do believe the results would have been different.
For example, choosing to pick a fight with MJF at the eleventh hour about stem cell. We went from being in a position of winning the issue, to losing it because (I believe) people rejected (WHAT THEY BELIEVE) "extremist conservatism", as represented by Rush.
We have to get to the point we can disagree about the way we go about things without being shouted down by the conbots all the time.
Ditto to other examples such as bloggers and conservative writers and commentators harping for what seemed weeks on border control, namecalling President Bush, his choice of Harriet Miers, Rumsfeld, talking about not belonging to the Republican party, leaving the party, and so on and on.
The conbots seem to be on offense all the time to the point they aren't able to accept dissent of any kind.
