I wanted to take a moment to thank the conservatives and other ticked off Republicans who "sat it out" in '06... Really, I appreciate the fact that you so desperately wanted to "send a message" to the Republican Party that you encouraged people to vote for Democrats. That whole strategy of winning by losing is and was pure genius. By letting the Democrats win majorities in the House and Senate, conservatives and other disgruntled Republicans who "sat it out" are equally to blame for raising my taxes as the Democrats and other disgruntled "Republicans" like George Voinovich who actually voted to raise my taxes. This is what you wanted conservatives and other disgruntled Republicans...enjoy the higher taxes courtesy of our new Democrat overlords. I sincerely hope that conservatives and other disgruntled Republicans have learned their lesson by this. Just in case there are a few conservatives and other disgruntled Republicans out there who are willing to win by losing via the "let's sit this one out to deliver a message" strategy, let me spell this one out for you. That strategy does not work. All it does is divide the party that is our best hope for real freedom and liberty. Instead of a smaller government and lower taxes, we're going to get more statism and much higher taxes.
But don't let all of that get in the way of your selfish rant...I mean, it's not like they aren't going to raise YOUR taxes...just everybody elses... Right?
