Are they pausing for a moment of self-reflection and considering the possibility that they are the problem, and not American voters?

Nope. They march on blindly. They never learn because they don't care what anyone else thinks. They are a party driven and motivated by hatred and racism.

The problem with your question is that you simplified it too much. The Republican Party (on a national scale, not a personal one) has a strong dichotomy of blaming the Democrats for the nation's problems, while at the same time (until a month ago) being in a position of dominating power. The conservative 'party line' is that there is no leftward shift going on-- everyone's always been liberal and anti-bush, and the president's an underdog, which people (especially westerners) love. If people were being honest, then they might notice that there is a shift, but majorities rarely are.

there is nothing conservative about the neoCONservatives. the US government is more bloated and invasive than ever before. America is TRILLIONS of dollars in debt (mostly to communist China). we're stalled and dying in TWO failing wars, one of which was totally illegal and based on misrepresented facts and outright lies. our environment is being trashed, our National Forest raped and pillaged by neoCON corporate cronies. our public school system is a tragic joke. and above and beyond all that our Constitution has been shredded, our rights and civil liberties undermined and our voting mechanisms are so corrupted that we can't be sure that the smirking frat boy we have in the Oval Office should have been in power for the first 4 yrs ... much less the 2nd 4 years.
the neoCONs are despotic radical Plutocrats and care nothing about "We the little People". they're out for themselves. "a nation of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations."

Not the drones. And that's simply because their support of this government was never reason-based to begin with. They didn't arrive at it via reason, and reason won't alter their view.
They've swallowed the dogma. They're deeply propagandized and they rely on propaganda the way an addict relies on drugs. There's no work, no responsibility, no process... there's just that immediate effect, ...that knee-jerk emotional reaction that's hinged to nothing but their free-floating convictions.
In order to learn anything from this evolving situation, or any other, they have to examine the supports for their own beliefs. And if they did that, they'd discover that there are no supports. They believe what they believe...because they believe it. Their beliefs can only exist in isolation from reality.
If you were them, would you subject yourself to the trauma of dealing with that?

I'm not certain that there is clear evidence to suggest that there is a swing to the left, but if there were, it would be due to a lack of commitment to true conservative principles on the part of politicians. When it comes down to it, Americans really do cherish their freedom and liberty, swinging to the left is contrary to that notion.

America is a liberal country. If it were not, we would be called United States of Britain.
Cons have a hard time with the concept, that we no longer have to answer to a monarch.
no offense to real conservatives, or Goldwater-type conservatives, who are slammed as liberals by their fascist counterparts.
afterall, muslim fanatics don't consider us evil because we are too conservative, so why do they want to make us more like what the terrorists want??

If conservatives are the problem in America. I fear for Americas freedoms and safety.It is the Left wing that is anti free speech. Hate speech laws and the smoking outside bans show their ignorance of free speech issues.

America voted to throw the bums out of congress, regardless of party. This country is primarily, as it always has been, conservative. What it is not is politically partisan or philosophical. That is left up to the crooks, pimps and blowhards in Washington.

they seem to be saying the exact same things they were before the election... in fact, I can see no change at all...
they all seem to think that the dems will mess everything up on their own, so why should they change?
but, what if the dems don't mess everything up... then they would be totally up the river...
that's a heck of a chance to take if you ask me...
