YEP. And they NO right to complain.
Everyone who is blaming the "conservative protest non-vote" is correct of course; however, denying the reality of human nature isn't going to fix the problem. We should be focusing on why the base was so demoralized that we now have San Fran Nan imposing her neo-comm values on the rest of us.
Agreed. The freepers who have been gloating all week better not show up ranting against anything they see happening to this country in the next two years.
I did not sit back. I voted straight Republican even if I did like him/her or not. If Democrats win; all our hard work will go down the drain.
We lost because we did not have the ethusiam like in 2004. Either we were too over confident or got mad at the GOP for not solving everything in two years. The Democrats beat us because they had candidates act like Reagan Democrats.
The Republicans in the House and Senate also acted like RINOS. They spent money like drunken sailors with Homeland Security. Many Conservatives were alientated by using our government as a cash cow. Bush spent way too much in New Orleans but the city is also a major port.
We didn't do anything with Social Security and the border situation...and many conservatives were so upset over that. They didn't get they're way on these issues and so they stayed home to teach Republicans a lesson.
Cut your nose inspite of your face type deal.
I guess when Bush changes bankruptcy laws...that's not good enough for conservatives.

I also the passage of Healthy Forest Restoration Act in 2003 does not mean much for the Republicans.

Even though the house was controlled by the Republicans back then the Democrats still have enough power to stop any conservative ideas from coming into law.
Can you name any other accomplishments the Bush Administration made?
The Iraq conflict is not going well. With the increase of violence in Iraq recently the American public got dishearten and want a easy fix by turning to the Democrats.
I believe the American public are not serious about winning against Islamic crazies and they prefer to postpone this problem for my grandchildren to deal with. For those Republicans who had a tantrum last tuesday and didn't vote...shame on you.
I know the Democrats will cut and run from Iraq. The Kurds who worked so hard to have their independence will be flushed down the toilet once again by the United States.
On a good note, the ball is in the Democrat court. They have two years to prove they're more clever and smarter to figure out Iraq situation without cutting and running. They also need a plan to tackle terrorism without resorting to a law enforcement problem only...ie USS Cole.
Those Reagan Democrats better display their intentions for the next two years or they will be voted out of office for being deceitful.
I don't trust the Democrats and they will high tail it to Pelosi's agenda.
All we need to have angry voters again.
