Really, What happened in 1992 when the RATS owned everything? We won congress by a landslide and effectively changed the course of American History (for a while at least). Sometimes, it's better to stand up for what you believe. The problems the Republicans face is they are becoming like the RATS in the 70s and 80s. Say/Do anything to keep your seat. Often times it's better to stand on principal (even if you lose a battle, you will win the war). However, if you bend like silly putty you'll be molded into something you never intended and hence you'll lose the war. Although you'll never see it because you've been molded by the opposition to believe what they believe.
You got the whole radical leftist agenda. Seems like you want to return to those days.
