That's why the conservative base was not thrilled by McCain or many of the incumbent senators and representatives. If anything, this crushing loss will force the Republicans to re-evaluate the platforms of their party. I'm hoping for a return to true conservative political philosophy, not this super-eavngelical, hyper-interventionalist, big-government brand of Republicanism.
I agree. I really respect the old fiscally conservative Republicans and hope they take their party back. We need to spend money wisely.
And I respect the Democrat ideals of helping those who need it and looking out for the "little guy." It's why I shall remain the LOYAL opposition on this board

Personally, I think both parties have strayed very far from their roots, but I could be wrong.
