The reality is that McCain was a terrible candidate and although a lot more honorable than the shyster from Chicago, at the end of the day, neither he nor Obama had a clue as to what to do about the economy. Oh! Romney, Oh! Romney, where have you gone?

I believe that it was during the second debate, while watching it at a friend's home, that McCain surprised the country with a "great idea", he proposed to buy all bad mortgages with yet another tiny 300 billion dollar dip into the treasury chest, I remember putting my hands over my head and saying to all present, "with that statement he just lost the election" most did not agree, but how could conservatives who have long had trepidations about McCain go along with a socialist program like that one, especially after he later admitted to have copied it from Hillary (no less), I knew that such a program did not set well with me, and that it would not set well with fiscally responsible conservatives. Therefore on Election Day, I followed McCain’s mother advise of pinching my nose as I voted for him and casted my vote for Sarah. In spite of what the liberal pundits would have us believe, the only silver lining of the entire campaign was Sarah Palin, yet they never let her loose, it was obvious that Sara was in it for the win, while McCain just wanted us to get along.

Which brings us to where we are today, we have lost a battle, but I don't believe that it was lost last night, we have been working on this defeat since the moment that Republicans became more concern about reaching across the aisle and being liked by the Main Extreme Left Media, than to adhering to the conservative values of their constituency. Let's not forget that McCain was the leader of that pack, his own campaign finance legislature that Obama laughed at, helped to put the final nail on his coffin. But once again there is a silver lining, we can all now breathe a sigh of relief by knowing that we should have seen the last presidential bids from McCain and from Hillary, thus allowing all of us to thank them for our ulcers and move on with our lives.

Let us not forget that we are not the gloom and doom crowd and although we may have lost this battle, the war is far from over. If history has taught us anything again and again, is that the disease of Socialism and Liberalism does not work, I don't care if the ones administering are crooks, or brilliant men and women more pure than Mother Teresa, Socialism destroys individual freedoms, work ethic, productivity, initiatives, self reliance, standard of living, wealth, and it does this to rich and poor alike, so it is the destiny of hard working men and women with strong conservative values, to ultimately come along behind them to clean up the mess, as it is also their destiny to be vilified while they make the hard decisions that will ultimately need to be made to exterminate the disease and its roots into society.

After the Nixon years when Jimmy Carter enjoyed the benefit of both houses as well, the conservative movement reconstituted itself and it reigned until it began to look like and behave like the same party it dethroned. Santayana said "Those who refuse to learn the lessons of history are doomed to relive them." Republicans should remember these words, if we learned anything from this election cycle, isthat when Republicans allow themselves to be duped into "getting along" with far left radicals that are not interested in getting along, but who are only interested in buying time while in a position of weakness instead, they will always pay the price for doing so, the Main Extreme Left Media will gladly use them as useful idiots at their pleasure and spit them like rubbish on due time as they did with McCain, on this cycle the "Republicans" that lost were almost in their entirety the RINO (Republicans In Name Only), the conservatives retained their seats, (hopefully) lesson learned. 

To those of you who are now walking around feeling in the doldrums, know that we will live to fight another day, it is our philosophy that made America the greatest nation in the world, it is their philosophy that has bankrupt nations throughout the world, they may be able to “Fool some of the people some of the time…” but when the most pragmatic individuals who may have been convince to vote for the blank check “Change” this time around, become better informed as to what that change entails, and as the failures of the left become more evident, as they surely will, America will once again be able to right the ship, and steer itself away from the pestilence of Socialism, thus leaving it in the garbage pail of history, where it should have been left all along.
