Yes, the democrats are sore losers.  Maybe if they stopped thinking of excuses for their losses they would have time to think of ideas.

Matt, if end times paranoid suicide politicians win the next election, you can HAVE this country. Have fun in the Gulag when they're finished with you. Time to find another free country and take advantage of it before that evil damn yellow smiley face Walmart demon comes and takes over the last slither of freedom from the world.

They are wrong! I\n\nI believe their defeat had more to do with their lack of oversight, corruption and being a rubber stamp for Bush and his unwelcomed policies played a large part in their defeat. It was their actions, or lack thereof! They had no oversight, they gave away power relegated to Congress and the courts of the United states. They, like Bush, thought they were above the law, and they were a congress of exclusion, even to elected democrats!\n\nIf you look at history, especially lately, it is seldom we let one branch have total control of government! Now you know why!\n\nI would say that Bush and his war were rebuked by the electorate. It was clear the election was a referendum on Bush and one can't say he was a rotten apple in the election! I hope he got the message! I hope Republicans got the message as clearly many voted against their own party, as well as people who make between $50,000 and $100,000 a year! They know who got the tax cuts and they know who shares the largest tax burden!

Very good point.  Funny how nothing is really said about the democrats that did that.

I definitely agree with you.  Negative campaigning is not the way to win friends or influence voters.  However, politicians seem to think it works.  I think it makes them look like liars and bullies.  But cheer up.  In another week it will all be over with -- at least until the next election.  I know it ruins it for the voters, but they should still go to the  polls.  Otherwise, the loud mouths will have achieved their goal.

Democrats have no real ideas to offer, their best ploy was to vote to go to Iraq when the public opinion was in favor of it and then to turn on Bush when the public favor turned against the war.  I have for many years wondered what democrats stand for, but as they rarely tell the public anything more then we are anti-republican it is difficult to find out exactly what they stand for.  If the republicans are for stem cell research then the democrats will come out against it and so on.  Partisan politics at its worst.  They all need to figure out why they want to continue dragging this country thru the mud at each election cycle, I would personally vote for a qualified democrat if one ever decided to take a legitimate stance on an issue that the caucus didn't tell them to take (Lieberman).

[x] The fact Democrats obviously have no plan which will reverse peoples opinion of them.\nThere are no more good Democrats.\nThey don't think anymore, all they what is to be elected.\nOnce they are elected they don't know what to do.\nThey have to many people telling them what they want.\nSometimes giving people what they want, isn't what they need.\nJFK was the last of the good Democrats. And they shot him for acting like a Republican.

Without a doubt. While the parties would like to portray this as a Democrat victory, it is clear that the main factor in the Republican losses was the anger exhibited by moderates and true Conservatives toward the neo-con wing of the party. Even some neo-cons have had enough of the Administration and their bible-thumping lackeys.

yes, but it's not really punishment, it's more guilt. why? because they feel guilty about their own wealth and the fact that there are people in this country that don't have it (wealth). and don't have the opportunity to have it. are they willing to make changes in society that will change the dynamic? no. because they need the impoverished vote. what baffles me is that these people, these poor people who have nothing who keep voting in these democrats who do nothing to improve the situation of their voters have not learned yet that they are being tricked.

Everything was rolling that way, and i think it still is. Kerry's comment the other day I think hampered it a little, although I do see where it was aimed at Bush and not the troops. I swear if Kerry causes the Dems to lose like he caused 2004, we need him out of the party. Least of which apologize EVEN THOUGH you shouldnt have to, you know as well as anyone how the Republican hate machine winds up and wins over crap like that!

Republicans have no shame. The intelligent ones will tell you they know the election was stolen. Then they make weak excuses like "The Democrats would have done the same thing if they could have." What crap! I hope the Democrats do get the chance to steal an election and they take it. Revenge would be sweet.

Not long.  \n\nThe voters had a temper tantrum.  \n\nWe weren't able to get our message out to the voters.\n\nThe elections were stolen.\n\nAny of the above sound familiar?  Those were Democrat excuses.  You'll hear none of that from us Conservatives.  We lost Congress fair and square because we didn't perform, because we didn't live up to our ideals of less gov't, less pork, and more accountability.

Its possible they are just trying to get the citizens trust and faith back as a way to win elections.  Perhaps they realized how much the citizens werent favoring their thoughts, ideas, and opinions.  Most likely, they will just build us up to put us down again.  Everytime, every single time, a democrat is in office, a war or 'battle' occurs.  I don't suppose they plan on changing this now.

It wasn't that they sat out, but that they were fed up with the lack of success and results.  Additionally, the Republican party they once believed in has morphed to some moderate mish mash.  It was more about wanting to see SOMETHING done, instead of what that something is.

I don't know what that direction is but even though I did not vote democrat I am glad the Republicans lost and I will tell you why, they had become too complacent and not follow through on what they had promise they remind of a sports team that is ahead by 19 points in the fourth quarter and end up losing by a point and after the contest one ask why didn’t the team that was ahead by 19 points keep playing like they did for the first 3 quarters instead of playing prevent defense for the last quarter. This might be the kick they need to set a agenda like they did with the contract with America so the American people can have a clear choice and actually have something to vote for and hopefully this time stick to their agenda.
