If Republicans lose in November, many so-called conservatives who have spent the last year or more acting like whiny Democrats bear heavy responsibility for the defeat. It is one thing to disagree, but the shrill hysteria of some on the right has resembled radical Democrats more than mature and reasoned conservatives. The victims (pray there are none) will not be "moderates," but more likely solid conservatives like Rick Santorum, Jim Talent, Geoff Davis, Ken Blackwell and the U.S. military.
Until we adjust to the reality of politics, that it is hard to get what you want without 60 seats in the Senate and stronger majorities in the House, then we need to accept incremental victories. Sadly, too many conservatives would rather prove their "independence" to the media by dumping on President Bush (whose governed far to the right of Reagan) and the GOP Congress (that has never raised taxes, supported supply-side economics, advanced pro-life and pro-family issues, put solid conservatives on the Federal bench and resolutely defended the country) than support them. Now there is real fear among this same group that Congress may soon be in the hands of the most radical Democrat party in history. What did you think would happen when your were constantly belittling the President and Republican Congress? Words and deeds do have consequences.
As a conservative Christian I will be voting a straight Republican ticket. I don't want NAMBLA Nancy Pelosi and Dick "Turban" Durbin deciding the direction of anything but the demise of the Democratic party. By the way, I been have a solid supporter of the President and the Republican Congress, because I have always realized how dangerous the Democrats are to the US. Unfortunately, too many so-called conservatives are apparently just waking up to that reality. Prayerfully, it is not too late.
