[WAKE UP...more liberals voted than conservatives sat out. there is NO evidence that Republicans voted for the Democrats this time out.]

I don't know whose post you were reading, but nothing I said even suggested that I thought any Republicans voted for Democrats. I'm well aware that the moderates and independents voted overwhelmingly for Democrats instead of Republicans and that made all the difference in the election.

[I will bet you my life savings (and it's considerable) that there will not be a Consevative President in our lifetime, if ever. IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD OUT THERE, and you people better wake up.]

Whoa! hold on there buddy. I don't know how many years you've got left in your lifetime, but I plan to be around for quite a few more decades and these things go in cycles; one side runs the show for awhile until they become complacent and screws up, then the other side wins by default and it's their turn to run the country until THEY screw up. That's the nature of a government accountable to the people. Consider that leftists ran the show during the sixties and seventies, raising taxes through the roof and over-regulating businesses until under a Democrat congress and president (Carter) the economy bottomed out. Then Reagan took over and DE-regulated business and lowered taxes and the economy boomed. H.W. Bush moved to the left and the public abandoned Republicans and Democrats took over by default. Clinton and his party tried to take the country back to the days of Carter and the result was the Gingrich conservative Republicans and the Contract with America in '94. Too bad they pooped out and the MODERATE "compassionate conservative" W. Bush and his soft and squishy colleagues in congress have not earned the support of the conservative right so now we're back to the Democrats taking another turn.

The conservatives I know aren't just going to go away and sulk for the next 40 years, so you would probably be wise NOT to bet everything on perpetually losing.
