Does anyone really believe it's the end of the conservative movement because of this last election? Oh, you mean like it was the beginning of the conservative movement that would last 30 years according to brother Newt. And how did this all happen I mean how did those mean old Republicans get voted into office in a landslide election (like the one the Dems. just pulled off)? Well it had a lot to do with the fact Clinton was impeached for lying to Congress (you remember the wagging finger). He did that and then didn't get the boot he so richly deserved. And that is your history lesson for the evening.
President Bush made some poor judgement calls to be sure and surround himself with 'yes' people. The Republicans (like the Democrats) got so full of themselves they thought they could do no wrong. Both parties were wrong and the Democrats never got a luckier break during this last election than when they didn't win a super majority in congress. Had that happened they would probably have done what history says politicians always do because when all is said and done we're not so different and are all greedy for power.
