The Conservative Cave

let me cut to the chase: the USA took responsibility for governance away from the GOP back in November of 2008, and if the Democratic party thought that they could hack it on their own they’d not be spending so much time trying to bluster, threaten, and/or otherwise force us into signing off on their policies. We’re under no such obligation: and they used up all the names already that they could call us in the last election cycle (including the four-letter ones), so there’s little that they can do there, either. And, of course, the Democrats have no intention of actually changing their policies to accommodate our opinions: it would clash horribly with their existing position that the GOP is made up of illiterate, [Insert Group here]-hating, hyper-rich regional hicks.
Thus, we can enter into the 2010 election cycle with light hearts and unworried brows. The disaster has already happened. We’re now in the aftermath. Many people are busily - and fruitfully - discussing what our message should be for next year, what our message should not be, whether we should have a message at all; personally, I think that we’ve got plenty of time to come up with one, not to mention a leader or seven to help spread it… but what we need to do now more than anything else is to demonstrate that we actually believe what we’re saying. Which we do, even when we suspect that some of our legislators don’t… and the Democrats are now discovering that rather more of theirs don’t actually match word with deed. That puts them on the defensive, for a change; and I look forward to the luxury of being able to pick my battles and call my shots.

I like it......

I applaude the optimism, but I remain doubtful.
The disaster hasn't happened. The disaster is on going. We have a group of socialists in control of the WH and both houses of Congress.
Trust me... The worst is yet to come.

No doubt. I'm in a brace position.....gonna bounce back though!

Maybe.... I'm waiting to see what the GOP leadership does in the next several months. The mid-term elections are only about 19 months away.
That gives them less than 12 months to get their act together and field/support candidates that are appealing to the conservative base in this country.
If nothing else, they (GOP leadership) should have learned after their resounding defeats in 06 and 08, that Dem lite ain't gonna cut it.

That was sorta my point.
There doesn't seem to be any.
