And because a lot of conservatives took the same approach, we ended up with President Obama who IS burning the nation to the ground.

We didn't end up with Obama because Conservatives finally started taking a stand, we ended up with Obama because the Republicans had 6 years in which to shrink the size, cost, and scope of the government, and to show the American public that they are responsible caretakers of the government. Instead they expanded the government, made it more expensive and more powerful. They went against Conservative beliefs and the American public reacted appropriately.

To add insult to injury, the GOP gave us John McAmnesty as their candidate.

Had the Republicans in the White House and Congress during those six years acted responsibly, and had we ended up with somebody other than McAmnesty, I have no doubt that the GOP wouldn't have lost Congress in 2006 and the White House in 2008.

No, to add insult to injury, you get history wrong. The GOP and President Bush had SLIM majorities in the Senate for just over 4 years. Remember we had Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle for nearly 2 years...

Many conservatives ignore the realities of this decade; The Senate was barely controlled for 4 years, which meant the conservative bills advanced by the GOP and the President (such as privatization of Social Security and scaling back Medicare).

We didn't end up with [His Excellency Al-Hashish Field Marshmallow Dr. Barack] Obama [Dada, COD, RIP, LSMFT, Would-Be Life President of the Republic Formerly Known as the United States, and Chairman of the Organisation of Halfrican Unity*] because Conservatives finally started taking a stand, we ended up with Obama because the Republicans had 6 years in which to shrink the size, cost, and scope of the government, and to show the American public that they are responsible caretakers of the government. Instead they expanded the government, made it more expensive and more powerful. They went against Conservative beliefs and the American public reacted appropriately.

We ended up with a Democratic Congress in the 2006 elections for the same reason. There were those who tried warning, before both the 2006 and 2008 elections, and did we listen?

I used to say it and get slammed for it: The road to Damnocratic hell is paved with Republican't good intentions.
