Can you please elaborate upon this famous 'fact'. I'm curious which 'conservatives' you mean, and precisely what they have 'asked for'. I think that Americans have been idiots for several generations, and may be reaping what they've sown, but's that's not quite the same thing.

I don't think reform-minded Americans have spent even a fraction of the boodle that's been senselessly blown on General Motors, the Stimulus, or ObamaCare, to name three major Obama disasters. I actually agree with you, to a point: the reformers should spend more time winning elections, in addition to the rear-guard action of halting the rodeo clown's depravities. Sorry; a century of Progressive idiocy won't be undone faster than a couple decades, and not without the aforementioned 'plop'.
