I find the left's short term memory to be most amusing. (dollars, parties)

The rights' problem isn't really with memory, but their lack of understanding of macroeconomics. They think a country is ran the same way an individual would run their personal household economy. [spoiler alert] It doesn't work that way. Also, their(the rights) understanding of social issues are pretty dismal and self-defeating, too. Generally, as one becomes more knowledgeable of those things I listed, they move further away from the rights' agendas.
-In 2008 it was supposed to be the end of the American right.
-2010 liberals get absolutely handled in the greatest sweep of power in Congressional history.
-2012 the left gets a marginal victory in response to the overstepping of the right on social issues, but it's apparently the end of the right, 2 years off a decisive defeat
Liberals, maybe you should hold off just a bit on the death knells, particularly when your party has dirty laundry itself: refusal to cut government spending (both welfare and defense).
Who in 2008 said it was "supposed to be" the end of the right wing? A Fox talking point? Krauthammer? Dickie Morris? Some other Fox "expert"?
Suddenly after January 2008 concerned about spending are you? Yep, like most right-wingers.
Why should dems stop what repugs have been doing all along? Who controls congress? For one thing, congressional repugs have wanted to give the Pentagon more than it asked for. A highly-funded military has always been more republican than democrat.

Why do conservatives believe these fantasies about the 2010 midterms. Over 40million fewer voters voted in the 2010 midterms than the 2008 election. The 2010 victories were the result of voters not voting. It was not a conservative party resurgence.

Once the fantasy is gone.....what do they have left?
