Really, that’s what you have to do.
When you fall down, you pick yourself up and dust the dirt off you nose and hands and butt, and maybe try to figure out why you fell, then get on with it.
I’ll take an honest liberal over the many corrupt pubbies in Congress. Unfortunately, honest liberals are even rarer than honest pubbies.
Remember our beloved Ronald Reagan, lost too. But he came back and is one of our Greatest Presidents. Don’t sell Sarah short. She has spunk and wisdom just as Ronald Reagan did. President Bush is not the cause of our loss, it is us, the silent majority who allowed this. Yesterday I worked in the polls and saw people whom I thought were conservative....they voted straight democrat. They were so proud, they had to tell us...they voted democrat because that’s what their folks were and they carry on the tradition. Thoughtless voting.
Gov. Good Hair!!???? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha . . . . . . . .
He doesn't bring to the table what Biden brings to Obama!!! And, that's not saying much.
Most Texans aren't too enamored of Gov. Good Hair and can't wait to dump his butt. Not a good choice for national office.
“polls have about as much credibility as a screen door on a submarine..”
Seems the polls this time weren’t as far off the mark as folks kept claiming they were...
Just sayin’...

Don’t be silly...you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater...some 20 conservatives were elected to the House yesterday....you take that and you build on it...much easier to turn the GOP to the right than to try and start a national third party!
We turned this around after LBJ, Carter and Clinton;
we can do it again and we’ve already started with the conservatives who were elected to the House yesterday!
Wasn’t thinking national office...I just was curious. I saw his name on the list of Governors up for reelection so I thought I’d reveal my ignorance and ask. :-)
What has happened to Virginia??????????????????
Agreed that 2010 will not come soon enough but the real issue here is our current President. I voted for him twice but he is at fault here. 1. He did not stand up and defend himself when the Dems attacked him. The US Attorney non-issue is a perfect example. 2. Iraq. Great in theory but a complete waste of money. 3. He spent way too much. He should have stopped the Republican congress in 2001 to 2007 from spending by vetoing every bill.
One thing on McCain: At the last minute I heard the best ads but they were way too late. Michelle Malkin is right stand on your ideas. We are still right.
The economic meltdown was the final nail. McCain had a puncher’s chance to win a close one before the bailout. The hope I have is that this can be a temporary blip rather than a fundamental change.
People forget it has only be 5 years or so since the Democratic party was in a similar situation...too liberal to get power again...too divided to be put back together.
But the Dems have always been better at being ruthless.
I have at this point voted for my last Republican too.
I don't actually trust that number. The big problem is that we have allowed the DBM to define what conservatism is and they have corrupted the definition.
If WE define conservatism, I think many, many more will realize that conservatism is NOT the demon that the DBM has defined it as.
It’s not just the Mexicans; it’s the Islams.
I agree...and even if that number is true ... I think 36% is great given how “evil” conservatives are portrayed.
well put...
Thank you. Yes, I know that I go against the grain of many of these people here. So many of them think they are always right and correct. But, we are all free men and women. Free thinkers. Free to come to conclusions on our own. I do that. I don’t expect them to agree with me. I don’t claim to be the chosen one like Obama and have ALL the answers to ALL the questions. I am simply a retired, old soldier. I served my beloved Republic and will continue to serve her. But, first and foremost, I will serve my Lord. I don’t fear Obama or his liberals crowd. They can tax me, they can take my house, car and book case, but they cannot take my heart, my soul and my spirit. My God has those. I don’t fear death. I know when I die, I will be ALIVE immediately with the Lord. So, let the liberals do as they might. They are nonbelievers. Their true day of reckoning is coming. They will burn in hell. That is their legacy.
They did. And Republicans bought it. In important states, stayed away in large numbers.
bttt
Bush One gave us Bill Clinton.
Bush Two gave us Barak Hussein Obama.
Don’t let a Bush Three anywhere near the White House.

As the presumptive for 2012, Gov. Palin needs to wrestle leadership of the GOP. If she has any desire to run again, she needs to take control and start restructuring the GOP now. And that means cleaning out the big-business country-club globalists.
Otherwise, the GOP may not see leadership possibilities in the WH, Senate or House for decades, unless Obama falls flat on his face (recall that even an embattled, weak Bill Clinton got re-elected).
