When are people going to realize that Obama was elected, and awarded a
Nobel Prize simply because he is the polar opposite of Bush. Bush and
his cronies destroyed all that was right about the conservative
movement.... and all you now have left is the loonies like Beck, Rush,
O'Reilly pushing the conservative agenda in the hope it might catch
fire again.
It won't, not for a long time. The Right Wing dream is rotting corpse.
The remnant of conservative thinkers that still have some brains left,
need to learn to edge a bit to the middle in the hope to pull back
some of those who cannot and will not be associated with the nutjobs.
You have been spewing your sour-grape venom and in the process adding
insult to injury. That ain't no way to have fun, son. Your bitterness
isn't very Christ-like either.

Heh! Another example of liberals projecting what they hope instead of facing
reality. I agree that the conservative movement doesn't have much traction
right now, but I attribute that mostly to lack of publicity rather than
paucity of ideas.

Take health ca Virtually all rational persons agree that costs can come
down significantly with tort reform or insurance availability across state
lines. Both these ideas are promoted by conservatives, but there's not a
glimmer of either in any of the five or more bills meandering through
Congress.

Interestingly, the GOP failed in the last election because, in part, they
acted too much like Democrats! That is, they ran up a $900 billion deficit
(the fickle public ignored 23 consecutive quarters of economic growth). Of
course it takes a REAL Democrat to act like a Democrat - so we now have a
$1.9 trillion deficit.

No, the pendulum will swing back - but you're right. It won't be because the
public suddenly embraces conservative ideas; it will be because the ideas of
the liberals are so ghastly.

I once heard a Russian "defending" Communism. He said: "Sure, the Communists
were bad, but they were far better than the Cossacks!" Even liberals may
come to believe that while conservative policies are not good, but they're
far better than ruin.

In passing, the Nobel Prize business says much more about the Nobel
committee than it does about Obama.
