There are many politicians who call themselves conservative, but fail to govern that way. Was DeWine conservative? He has been described that way.

This election was a repudiation of the administration and the perception of incompetence and corruption in the party. This election was neither a liberal wave nor a rejection of conservatism, it was simply a reflection of current discontent.

Candidates that can articulate the concepts of limited government, low taxation and traditional values will win again in the future. As soon as we can find some.

Yes. The Democrats worked hard to show they had as many values as the Republicans.

Well, I am listening to Rush (because I heard unhappy comments of the show), he is 2 hours - 17' into the show (he feels liberated... tired of carrying the water for people who do did not deserved it...etc) and frankly I don't see anything wrong with what he is saying.

He is saying exactly what many of us feel!... But he was doing "his duty" trying to counter balance the message of the MSM cheerleading for the left. Rush did "his duty" just because he thinks the Reps, regardless of mistakes, are better than liberals. He also says, "he did it (carry the water), because we are at war" (and we wanted to protect the soldiers)

BUT WE LOST!... an now we can let it all out.

For some reason I feel I should wait a few days... just to let the president, everyone two or three days to digest the huge change that just took place.... BUT I DO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE PRESIDENT!... and I know he is going to make me sick again with the Immigration thing. It makes me nervous when I hear he thinks he has a much better chance of passing his "Immigration reform" with the Rats... It makes me wonder if he is really (or has ever been) a conservative or actually a very... what? liberal president?... [sight] I better stop here now :)

Rush is afraid the president and our Reps will begin to carry the water for the left in order "to be loved."

THAT MAKES SENSE TO ME!... Wait to see how happy McaCaIn and Hegel and all the other leftist will be even more loud on the side of the Rats...
