As I have obliquely alluded to in previous posts, this election was not a repudiation of conservative ideology, but a rejection of the current crop of spend-happy, scandal-plagued, RINO Republicans who simply have lost their way and alienated their conservative base.
Jeff Jacoby of the Boston Globe does a wonderful job summing it up — with help from several remarks by none other than Bill Clinton — this week in his column in a piece entitled “The Republican Debacle”.
I highly recommend reading it, no matter what your political leanings are.
