You are welcome to your opinion, but that is just so much BULL.
The Repubicans are seriously out of touch with the common man. They have let the religious right set their agenda, and they will continue to lose elections until they figure out how to get back to center. People do not want to be told to how to live especially by the religious Right. "On demand" abortions -- that's not what it's about. Most people feel that it is a personal choice, and they know that banning abortion will not stop abortion. Rather, wealthy women will go out of the country to have abortions and poor women will be driven back to back alley abortions. Unwanted children aren't always put up for adoption or happily accepted -- sometimes they become physcially and emotionally abused children.
You may want to listen to Rush and company, and that's fine; but, you need to get some balance and to do that you also need to listen to some of the mainstream journalist and commentators. Then you would know why so many mainstream people found someone like Sarah Palin so scary. Face it, she hurt the ticket.
I get the impression from your post that you want to live in a world that doesn't really exist anymore. It hasn't existed for years. The majority of people feel they were lied to by the Bush Administration and that things are much worse than it has been. They are disgusted by the Democratic Congress too, but they are willing to take a chance. People want change. You can deny it, you can hate it, but that's reality.
