Republicanism Lost, but Conservatism Did Not


I believe there was just a handful of conservative republicans running.

Newt's money quote:

"The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington."

Newt ping.

I think America lost... and is lost. I try to observe as much as I can. I listen to the stupid liberals around me, I was MSM on occassion to see what they're pitching to the masses.
I have seen stories on the election, and did they dig into the idological shift? Did they talk about the ultimate political gamesmanship that will come of this? No. They were crowing about the number of women in Congress now. Obviously paving the way for Hillary.
I hear the kids around me, most tend to be liberal. The Marxists were correct in taking over the education system. It is working as they expected.
I watch as we pass law after law taking away individual rights and see the people around me gleeful about it.
The America I knew really is gone. The liberals are dragging it to a European socialist meltdown.
It's insane. My brother, who as long since gone off the deep end with liberalism, (translation: He holds liberal beliefs and becomes irrational when challenged). I know him enough to know he is more of a Zell Miller Democrat. Now he's going to get the society of entitlement, and more Mexicans on a daily basis. He's fundamentally against those things, but will accept them because they come from the Democrats.
I find I'm observing a little less in the last few days. I guess it's the realization that I'm powerless, and what will happen will happen.
I hate liberals... and my brother has become someone I can barely tolerate.

I wish America would vote for Newt and Duncan Hunter...what a STRONG, work-oriented ticket (whatever the order)!

"Pelosi, despite all her talk of moving to the center and reaching out to conservatives, will govern from the left."

What, exactly, does the Speaker of the House governs?

Over the next few weeks, I will report to you directly and clearly about the proposals that are coming forth and the strategies that are being recommended. I will be your eyes and your ears in this time of profound challenge and opportunity for our movement and, as always, I will not be afraid to speak out.

He's going to run. Best of luck, Newt.

Your politics appear to be as good as your theology, FRiend.

The result was that, by Election Day, Democrats were seen as better at controlling government spending and at reducing taxes.

We need to swallow that jagged little pill and quit blaming people for staying home. The message was sent, those who receive is will fare better than those who don't.

The problem has been with Republican leaders who forgot who elected them and what values their supporters expected to see implemented in Washington.

Bingo. At some point, you get so frustrated with your wireless carrier that you pay the early termination fee. How big that fee is remains to be seen.

I sure pray that conservatives can find it withing themselves to forgive Newt for his transgressions and put him in the White House.

P.S. I do not go for the 'Paul Hackett' we lost but we won. Giving up this much ground in 'wartime' is a disaster.

Newt can be an architect behind the scenes, but he has NO PRAYER of being elected President.

He's got way too many skeletons in his closet.

re: Their game plan is to panic Republicans into selling out their grassroots base and adopting a series of really bad ideas which will -- in their words -- "salvage" the Bush Administration.)))

Yeah--like this huge push for amnesty.
