But in this time of great defeat, we must remember, that our loss on Nov 7th 2006...
Edited on Wed Dec-13-06 01:59 PM by nickshepDEM
But in this time of great defeat, we must remember, that our loss on Nov 7th 2006 was not a loss for conservatism, but a loss for big government Republicanism. Going forward, we must stay true to our values, as Reagan did. Remembering that, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."

And through the ashes and debris of defeatism and liberalism, the conservative movement will march forward, carrying the torch for personal responsibility, freedom and Democracy, and smaller, less intrusive Government. If we stay true to these core beliefs, we will rise... we will rise victorious once again, because that is what god demands of us.

Thank you and Godspeed.

2. Many Repugs, in some variation.
Not the least of whom was Tom DeLay.

12. Yup, busy, busy rewriting history again...
The good ol' Reagan day, what bs, that is when I turned a died in the wool Dem. Before then it was a matter of voting for who "seemed" to make sense, not knowing how much they could lie with such an honest face!

8. The Katrina slaughter wasn't the result of "big government"...
...it was the failure of a classic small Conservative government to respond to its citizens' needs - and incidentally it was criminally funneling big taxpayer dollars to Rape-Publican cronies at the same time.

NGU.

9. That will, indeed, be their mantra...
They lost their way and must return to the golden years of Ronald Reagan...

11. Its been the talking point since the election.
Defeat for liberal Republicanism, not Conservatism. Rinse, wash, repeat.

10. The quick response to that little diddy is, "If government is the
problem, then you're advocating overthrow of the Government."
