hopefully this won't take the thread too far off topic, but this is one of the things i'm tired of. Conservatism didn't lose, republicans did. Why? Because they weren't conservative. Liberals/democrats seem to purposefully ignore even the pretense of that possibility. Why? I'm sure it's likely to do with making themselves feel more positive about their movement, I don't know for sure though.
Again, conservatism didn't lose, the republicans lost because they weren't conservative.
