Who was it that won the last 2 elections??? If this doesn't prove the liberal bias of the media, absolutely nothing does.

[GOP_Raider]

Is conservatism finished?

Far as I'm concerned, we're just gettin' started, E.J.

[eric_da_grate]

P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N.

The Democratic Party is staring into the abyss.

[Andy from Beaverton]

What's the opposite of right? Wrong!

[pissant]

The dems are falling apart at the seams and this guy is pretending in his little wet dream that its the republicans. Dream on, EJ, you little twerp.

[bboop]

What planet is she on?

[JennysCool]

Wow! The Post actually printed this unbelievable piece of naive wishful-thinking? That's amazing, even for them!

They must be simply desperate to fill the column inches.

The two wings were often held together by a common enemy, modern liberalism certainly, but even more so by communism until the early 1990s, and now by what some conservatives call "Islamofascism."

And what do you call it, E.J.?

The guy's a nut and has absolutely no scintilla of modern objective political knowledge.

So for his benefit, I'll explain this in plain English...

While the Republican Party may be superficially split along the lines of indie conservatives vs. the so-called "Bush-bots", the conservative movement is nontheless beyond unified and a growing force by the day. It is a dynamic political force to be reckoned with.

Coupled with the total ineptitude of the Democratic Party (and their slipping into complete irrelevance) by ever moving radically toward the left, the Republicans can and likely will continue to dominate the government.

And assuming that the superficial split can be overcome (which is an excellent likelihood before the '08 election), liberals have no chance to ram their extremist, Socialist agenda on the average Joe Citizen.

Further, the Libs have only themselves to blame for their demise. If they didn't support taxing the heck out of the citizenry, abused power while in office, and defended out-of-the-mainstream positions on controversial issues such as abortion, terrorism, immigration, national security, and homosexual marriage, and took much more of a centrist approach, the Libs still might have had a shot in 2000 and 2004.

But they didn't. Now all they can do is wait for conservatives to slip up big time. And they're showing they're not above doing anything possible to destabilize society in the process.

Dionne is smoking crack again.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Yet their way of admitting this was to put on display the central goal of the currently dominant forces of politics: to give away as much as possible to the truly wealthy.

Hey EJ, this is where you reveal your true Marxist colors. Nothing's being given away as you so succinctly put it. It was always *theirs* which was being extorted/ stolen/ robbed from them under gunpoint by your cohorts in the govt. Its about returning stolen property to their rightful owners

[Doctor Raoul]

E. J. DIonne is Bill Clinton's towel boy. E.J. "moderated" a Bill Clinton "Q&A" where CLinton got all of the questions in advance and had veto power.

Some journalist that E.J. Dionne. Guess Linda Lovelace was the E.J. Dionne of her generation.

[Jameison]

"The End Of the Right? "

Hah Hah!
Hey, Dionne, Pravda have an opening for ya.
And The Ministry of Truth in 1984 as well.

[TheDon]

The question is being asked -- mostly quietly but occasionally publicly -- by conservatives themselves as they survey the wreckage of their hopes....

-Alito
-Roberts
-Tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts
-Protection of firearm industry
-Dismantling of the Taliban, democracy in Afghanistan
-Saddam regime overthrown, democracy in Iraq
-Libya gives up nuke program, terrorism
-Supporting Israel's right of self defence against the Izzies
-Action on controlling the border, even if dragged into doing it kicking and screaming, you think the Dems would ever do anything?

Personally, President Bush and the Republicans have won me over big time. The Rats have to do their best to depress the Pubies cause that's all they have to offer.

[ModelBreaker]

Who was it that won the last 2 elections???

Not conservatives, that's for sure.

[DakotaRed]

"Is conservatism finished?"

Uh, no. Although people may speak as lefties, deep in thier hearts they live as conservatives.

Liberalism may have the day with control of the press and schools and such, but basic human nature tends to lean towards conservatism, for the most part.

Sorry, but even the mighty drive-by leftstream media has little or no control over human nature.

I thought EJ Dionne was a woman who wrote romance novels.
