"It's portrait of Conservatives was what voters thought they were voting against"
So the GOP out of control spending, the open borders, the Harriet Miers debacle, the failure to un-tie the hands of our solders in Iraq was all a MSM illusion?
There was no "out of control" spending. In fact, the deficit is going down because of Bush's economic policies.
There are no "open" borders since millions are returned every year and the problem with Illegals is WILDLY exaggerated.
There is no "tied" hands of American troops. Destroying those we are trying to protect is not a solution to anything.
Harriet Miers became a debacle because the Loony Lynch Mob torpedoed her. There was nothing wrong with her as a Justice except in the eyes of the Loony Lynch Mob. She was a conservative, fundamentalist Christian and long-time, trusted associate of the President.
So yep it was all an illusion. Particularly when compared with the REAL successes of the GOP: the taking the War on Terror to our enemies, the reform of taxes and the appointment of conservative Justices.
But now you don't have to worry about ANY future successes since the GOP is "being taught a lesson." Another fabulous success by the Wingnut wing of the party.
