Partly correct. IMHO, when it gets right down to brass tacks, we are to blame because we allowed GWB to be branded a Conservative before he was ever elected. We continued to allow GWB, and many RINO's in Congress, to be branded as Conservative when we all knew they weren't. Far too many Conservatives fell for his line about "compassionate Conservatism" and further allowed the Laimstream media to define RINO's as Conservatives when they were anything but Conservative.
GWB certainly had a large roll in last night's thumpin', but those most closely associated with our current status are us.
Ultimately, it's our fault. The sooner we realize that, the sooner we will be on the road to turning the tide on this mess......
Amen. If we really believe in the system of government designed by our Founding Fathers, then we must believe you are correct and start working to change the party...right away!
