And still McCain came very close to winning — especially before the financial crisis hit and Obama (and the media) were able to inaccurately blame it on Republicans and capitalism.

My point is not that conservatives are all Republicans. Many Democrats consider themselves conservative too. My point (poorly made) is that the country is conservative, and while it may be fooled into putting liberals in power, it immediately corrects that error as soon as they start enacting liberal policy.

Nava Smith: Demonstrably Wrong.

These are both nothing more than strategical attempts by one party to propagandize and gain votes by assigning some deep flaw to their opponent. Two years from now, or ten years from now, or twenty years from now, when the Democrats have enough power to abuse, or when the Republicans are losing close elections under shaky circumstances, the roles will be reversed.

It has nothing to do with the faulty philosophy of Liberalism. One side is not virtuous, and the other evil. They are both simply human. Humans don’t like to lose. That’s it. Nothing more.

If I told you about a political party with its own series of national, regional and local patronage mills, a fair share of sweetheart deals with special interest groups, tells the public they can have everything while spending like crazy at the expense of taxpayers who haven’t even been born yet, and does little to nothing to truly address or resolve the problems facing this country, and that holds annual conventions on the taxpayers’ dime, could anyone really tell me which party I was talking about?

George W. Bush has already ruined any urge I might have to vote Republican in the future. If Obama screws up, he’ll probably be the last Democrat I’ll ever vote for.
