A defeat for Republicans, not conservatives

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.
