"Government Changed Us"

John McCain hits the nail on the head on why the GOP lost out yesterday:

"We went to Washington to change government, and government changed us," the senator said. "Particularly in the area of excessive spending, earmarking, a failure to take on immigration, Social Security and other issues."

But the Senator remained upbeat on the Party's future:

"We've faced these defeats in the past and I'm confident that we'll regain our footing," McCain said.

My sentiments exactly. It wasn't that Democrats won, but Republicans lost, and its our own fault. To borrow a quote from Gen Joseph Stillwell:

"We got a hell of a beating... and it's humiliating as hell. We've got to go back in there and take it back."
