Limbaugh dismissed any notion that victories by Democrats in the White House and Congress meant a repudiation of right-leaning principles.

The majority of the Sheep have said differently - with votes. The Sheep WANT Socialism, and they have handed the country over.

That’s nice Rush is blaming us. I still say that it is the GOP - emphasis on OLD that didn’t support the republican candidate. If any candidate doesn’t meet ALL standard of a republican then they are rejected and not even considered. Until that attitude changes we are in for a long miserable ride. My case in point, McCain was not supported in the same way that obama was by his party.

I disagree. The choices this election, and, indeed, many recent elections, have been between socialism and socialism-light. Bush carried many conservative principles into office. However, there were many socialistic ones as well (immigration, bailout, etc.). Given those choices, the electorate is not repudiating conservativism...only embracing the lesser evil. I think that if the ‘Cuda was at the top of the ticket, we may have seen a different turnout...

Right. The people weren’t fooled, not to that extent. They might not have grasped anything else about that one, but they heard one thing loud and clear-that he’s going to take from the producers to give to the parasites-and they like it. Decades of indoctrination have done their work, people from every walk have an entitlement mentality, and freedom and the rights of the individual are just sounds to them. Liberty and the right to live your life as you please, and take the consequences, are concepts that leave a blank look on their faces. None moreso than the younger generation believe this, and they are the future. I’ve never been so glad to be middle-aged, my one hope now is that it doesn’t get too bad before my allotted time is up. The young’uns will have to live in the world they think they want.

Have you given some thought to the prospect that what the sheep saw for the last 8 years wasn't all that different than what Obama was promising and decided to go with the new guy?

If given a glimpse of "true" Ronald Reagan conservatism, voters may react differently. We need a candidate who believes in it and can communicate it.

The Sheep WANT Socialism...


They weren’t given much of an alternative.

I liked it when WE offered genuine HOPE.

The people that voted for Obama showed their comtempt for America. The people that voted for Bob Barr did likewise.

You’re giving the Sheep credit for actually knowing what Socialism is...

I’m not convinced.

I don’t think a majority want socialism. 0bama masqueraded as a centrist and patriot and the public bought it because the MSM covered up all his past.

If people who haven’t woken up hear actual conseravtive arguments, loudly and clearly, at least there’s a chance. And there are a lot of real conservatives who are so sick of the kumbaya moderate crap that don’t vote, they’d be happy to vote for real conservative Rs.

You are forgetting the TRUE conservatives who refused to vote party over principle. Had there been a true conservative on the ticket, the people would have came out in droves to vote that person into office.
