    If they truly feel that they got something different than they voted for, they should remember that they were told a lot of this would happen by one side and told it wouldn’t by the other.

    The next time they vote they should remember that and consider more than simply “left bad, right good”. But we all know they won’t. They will just say “the last guys were bad Republicans, this new group are good republicans” and vote the same way again.

    I’ve long thought that conservatives are the party of “me”. They appeal to selfish desires which is why they are successful. It’s like playing the lottery. I didn’t win this time but I might next time so I’ll keep playing.

        Not by rotw standards no. But it’s all relative. In the USA Democrats stand to the left of the repuglicans.

      I read somewhere that the impulse to vote more conservative came from the emotions of digust/revulsion & that polls could be skewed more progressive by simply cleaning up the polling place. Cant remember the reference off the top of my head.
