Memo to the clueless: the big losers last night were conservatives.
Evidently the American public doesn't agree with you.
Conservatism didn't lose if you were not reading any posts. Dems had to run as such to get elected. Liberal ideas, the war notwithstanding here in California lost out. We stopped massive oil taxes and tobacco taxes that would drive a pack of cigarettes to nearly 7 bucks a pack. Republican complacency was the idea behind this thread and that was my point. Conservatism lost because virtually no candidates embraced this. If Reps had been harder about immigration, the war issue could have been a lesser issue. I believe the war was the right thing to do and I still do, but no conservatives voiced this as there were none running to be found, hence a party lost, not an ideology.
Ah yes, the elephant in the room that nobody wants to admit.
America seems to be moving back to the center---and the extremes of BOTH parties should better start paying attention.
Perhaps you could elucidate on what issues the Republican party need to "moderate" on in order to avoid these conservative defeats.
I wouldn't say that. Many of the democrat candidates were running as conservative democrats. Hell, in some cases they were MORE conservative than the republican candidates!
Sorry, you can keep telling that lie, but it doesn't make it anymore true. Conservatism didn't lose. Far from it. If you look at the campaigns where conservatives did run, you'll notice that the Democrats copied the Republicans and ran as conservatives. (Like the Hayworth race.)
We are not the clueless ones, nor are we the ones who keep rearranging the deck chairs. Continuing to the Left will ruin this party. A return to real conservative roots will lead us to victory.
The American public agrees with real conservatism. We will take back this party.
Looks like we got a troll in our midst.
