I think what Rush was saying that the conservatives did not get real suppport from the top down. When you support the likes of Spector over Toomey, for example, it starts a trend. Rather than educating and communicating the positive side of conservatism, and getting people excited about your ideals, then the message is lost. Plus, actions speak louder than words, and neither the Senate nor the House did anything to advance smaller government or cut spending.

They blew it.

I've seen a lot of young lefties (leaning left, not moonbat left) hammering the Republicans over spending.

We missed a lot of swing votes over this issue.

It was from the top down. Bush needs to take most of the blame. He had the hammer to veto spending bills, etc. His responsibility was to set the example. He flat failed us for 6 yrs.
