Where do Conservatives Go Now?
For many years now Republican’s have enjoyed watching the Democrats in disarray and seeking purpose. I suspect the dems would still be fractured if we did not have a war. Liberals of all flavors can really rally behind a war protest. As for the conservatives it would appear that we are in for a rough ride in the years ahead. We certainly have not elected a Reagan conservative since Reagan. What we are left with is candidates such as McCPain that appear to have electability but little else. Romney appears to be the best conservative is not getting a lot of love from us either.
The problem, in my way of thinking, is with the Republican party. It effectively is the democrat party of just a few years ago. The only true conservative in this election was Fred Thompson and Republicans spent more time finding fault with how he ran his campaign rather then embracing a conservative that had a record to match his consistent words. Ron Paul for his strangeness also represents a true conservative (I believe he just goes to far in his lack of support for the war on terrorism). Ron Paul and his ideas are getting thrown under the bus.
So how will this ship get righted? History will tell but it will likely require our slipping nation to get worse before more Americans and especially conservatives wake up and realize things are getting worse with liberal (socialist) agendas. Another possibility would be a major terrorist strike. Either way our country will be hosed before it can get better.
