HA!!!! << if conservatives stand for their principles and lose, and liberals are the only ones in office, it will be obvious that the responsibility will fall on the liberals and no one else. >> Funny how by 1998 Conservative momentum had completely fallen apart, Gingrich, not Clinton, was out on his ass, and good, righteous conservatives were back in the "maybe it's better to lose" mode of thinking. << that's why they lost, because they backed away from their principles and colluded with that treacherous former president of ours. they lost their nerve and it cost them. >> So let's sum up, we have forty years of a slow slide into hell, then maybe four years of a reversal, and now we go right back into "slip, sliding away" mode for another forty years or so, by the end of which they'll have gotten everything the Clintons wanted, AND convinced the American people that the alternatives would have only been worse. << i do not know what you refer to here. >> So how come the Democrats compromise their agenda as a matter of routine and yet never seem to have that problem?? << simple. the democrats only want to get and stay in office and will do and say whatever they want to remain there. look at clinton, he signed most of the republican contract with america after he saw that america wasn't going to go with his wife's marxist plans. >> The one time they lost, in 1994, was because they wrongly decided compromise with the conservatives was no longer necessary. << yup. when the democrats made the mistake of standing defiantly in opposition to the conservatives, drawing clear distinctions with their communist agenda, a few rational people recognized how foolish their agenda was and threw them out of office. they learned a good lesson, better to go back to lying and acting like a conservative until you get in office.
