"The liberals and Democrats understand the long game;..."
they have been chipping away for decades. They don't see change in 4 year presidential term increments,they look 40 years out. They realize that American politics are rarely an exercise in paradigm shifts, a rapid lurch to one side or the other. Political evolution, slow and steady, is the process by which long term change is implemented and cemented. Most conservatives want a tectonic shift in 2012 -- ain't gonna happen, folks. 2012 is just the next battle. -- What He Said « The Rio Norte Line

Your Say
That is a fundamental misunderstanding. The style of encroachment which is natural to the left is as unnatural as it is counterproductive for the right. That train still ends in Detroit, a day later.

Heck, conservatives have trouble understanding that liberals are at war and don't stop campaigning between elections.

The problem is, we simply don't have time for a Long March of our own. The economy is going to detonate within the next couple of years, and it may take the government itself down with it.
To use a football analogy, there are only seconds left on the clock, and we need a Hail Mary pass, not a ground game. It's not a good situation to be in.

To use a football analogy, we better sack the pricks and then step on their throat while they're laying there.
When the economy goes tits up, bullets, bottled water and negotiable metal count, nothing else. If you haven't seen combat, you're in for a treat, after you stop puking.

Correct. 2012 is only a battle. If we take both Houses and the WH, it's like the fall of Baghdad, because there's still the insurgency. We call this insurgeny "The Bureaucracy." And America's big cities are like "Shi'a" strongholds.
Washington's bureaucracy looks upon Democrats as liberators and Republicans as occupiers (in the old sense, before those anti-semitic defecators stinking up our parks twisted the meaning of that term).
