I personally don't feel anything negative toward "Republicans" because I don't even recognize them anymore, I'm just glad the hard-right-loonies didn't have their way. Unfortunately, most people equate them with "Republican". Don't get touchy that people are reacting strongly about the extreme righties, if that's not you, that's not who they're talking about. Don't take the whole burden of the failed party on your shoulders, either. The boys at the controls of the party machine need to break out the manual and get to tinkering if they want to get it back up and running. 'Cause that thing is done broke.

And this is exactly what happened to the Democrats when they lost the religious vote during the Reagan era. You're kind of being a dick here, NA - this is an awkward post-hoc analysis from a victorious group during an election that couldn't have possibly gone any other way . . . it's very similar to the Clinton mid-term elections, to be quite honest. I just don't get why you'd even post this - and this, as one of your biggest message-board fans, whatever that's worth.
