Yes, I'm sure their moral superiority has them quite thrilled at the prospect of what "0" wants to do to our nation.
The thing that gets me is they sat at home because, they claimed, we needed this downtime to flush out the RINOs and then in a couple of years REAL conservatism would make a comeback.
Well, it sure looks like Obama caught that one coming, and he's going to try to keep power the old-fashioned way--by buying it.
The dems got the black vote in the 60's with civil rights; they've now got them forever, at least in all of our lifetimes, for being the party that got the first black president elected. But that's not all they've done--they've paraded Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and others who should be ASHAMED of themselves out in public view, and at least in Frank's case got them re-elected again. And Frank is asking for bailout money for the auto manufacturers--and he will get it from Obama.
OK, so now the Dems have secured the black vote and the union vote--where we might have picked up some on the social issues/Reagan-issues appeal. That's in addition to single women.
By allowing Obama to take power, we've given him the opportunity to jack up taxes into space, and if you don't think his wealth redistribution scheme is going to result in a kind of reverse Bradley effect (people claiming they don't care for redistribution voting FOR candidates who approve of that), you ain't payin' attention. Obama is going to keep this class war going, and guess what we learned in this last election? PEOPLE...DON'T...CARE. They're not shocked by Marxism, terrorism, drug use, high taxes for The Rich.
So I wish the "Principled Ones" would tell me how this "strategic loss" somehow heads off a larger disaster, when Obama and the Dem majority are in the position to secure the government in their hands for a generation.
