No, losing in 2006 set us up for losing in 2008 and 2010 and 2012...... maybe by 2016 we'll be ready for the next Reagan Revolution...... or maybe not.....

Exactly. Facing reality involves admitting a defeat is a defeat. Claiming that a win for the socialists is somehow a good thing is delusional thinking.

If anything should be clear by the excitement over Obama or the first female president it's that we've been bitching and whining about the liberals in our schools and our media but not DOING anything about it. We think "Well, at least I'm cranky about the propaganda pushed on my kids, that's SOMEthing."

No, it's not. And letting the Dems have ANOTHER 'strategic" win is not winning--it's losing.

We will never have a perfect conservative candidate. We can only play the hand we're dealt--and sometimes, like now, that's a very bad hand. But just folding and letting the other guy collect the pot isn't a win, no matter how one wants to claim it is such.

Yes, I’m looking more for the half-full glass..... don’t know if McCain would really be worse than GW but I’m thinking maybe not..... I’m not at all happy with the choices being thrown up by our political process but then Ronald Reagan is really the only seriously conservative President we’ve had since maybe Calvin Coolidge!! GW and McCain really do not differ much on most issues, and I’m never thrilled with either by a long shot..... but for the WOT and for judges they will each do better than any of the ‘Rats by a long shot. I’m certainly more concerned with McCain on judges, but otherwise I don’t see GW and McCain as very different. Neither would have been my first choice ever, but I would take either over any of the ‘Rats every time.

Who’s folding? But sometimes you let the other fella get overconfident so you can call his bluff next time around.

Since we don’t have a strong hand, no better time to let the other side get cocky.
