"Now there are signs that, just as Democrats were running on the dying fumes of interest-group liberalism in 1980, Republicans today are being powered by a conservatism that is losing steam. "

The first part of the statement is true,the latter,is not..there are many indications that conservatism,is actually growing-and gaining steam..not losing momentum,as the deluded, liberal,author claims.

The Democrapper party,has no will to fight terrorism and don't really have a plan to do so..and the American people,especially conservatives,realize such..most conservatives are religious and as such,are sustained by their Faith..which never loses steam,if the Faith,is true.

The Democrapper party,seeks to transform America,into a secular society..which has alarmed many religious folks,both on the Right and to some extent,on the Left..even school children,are becoming more conservative. Conservative student groups on campus's across America,are on the rise..as the anti-American sentiment on the Left,grows increasingly strident and manic.

I don't know if you're religious or not,knottyganjagirl,but you are discounting a majority percentage of folks that are religious,and feel as if they are under threat,from the Left. Whether you like it or not,a huge mobilizing factor for conservative voters,is the issue of gay marriage and abortion,because many conservative voters are religious.

I hope and pray,literally,as I'm a conservative Christian,that those on the Left,will continue to ignore and dismiss conservatives,as being religious hicks who ain't got enough intelligence,to make a difference in the upcoming election..go ahead and underestimate us folks out here in fly-over country..I have no doubt that you will be shocked at the turn-out..come November.

Have a good one....Torog
