We, as conservatives, may never have the opportunity we had after the 2004 election.
Instead of standing with our moderate/conservative coalition, everyone went off on a tangent. Every talking head found something to bash Bush on, suddenly he wasn't conservative enough on every issue for some conservatives.
There were plenty of warnings on FR about what the consequence of such an approach would have. Oh well...we were in a minority for forty years and the nation survived.
As for me.....four words.....THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE! This, IMHO, was plain evidence of the GOP abandoning its root values.
To be beaten by a party that has no party platform and had to import 60 candidates that all think like us should send a message of sorts to our unity division of the Republican party.
