Did the conservatives retain control of Congress on your planet? If your statement is true, then we are in even worse trouble in 2008 because it means that conservatives are an even smaller portion of the electorate than we think.
But if it gets in the way of vilifying conservatives...
I did not single out any group of GOP voter. I simply showed proof that GOP voters in general stayed home in 2006, and the result is the Democrat-controlled Congress that we have now.
Even if conservatives did stay home in 2006, BFD. GOP doesn’t own anyone’s vote pal. You run big-spending, big-gov’t socons, you’re going to keep losing the independent and libertarian voters.
Not all voters are conservative. As it has been pointed out to you ad nauseum, lots of libertarian and swing voters voted 3rd party or for the Dims.
Your blaming conservatives for Republican's mid-term loss reeks of whiny, blame-game liberalism.
Cause they have principles, don't you know.
Again... I stated, and proved, that GOP voters in general stayed home. I did not single out conservatives. I don't know who you're arguing with, but you might want to direct your replies at that person, and not me.
Which is exactly why I was able to contact Senators Santorum, Talent and Allen and gripe to them about my concerns that the GOP has gotten too liberal, right?
