Did the Republican Party get what it deserved? Not yet, 50 are under indictment or investigation with more to come as the Abramoff and other scandals continue to unfold.

Ok, how 'bout you start keeping score if you want to play that way.  It is too bad that they didn't immediately cut him from the party so they could maintain some sort of moral high ground.  Instead, they gave the fascists a "token black target" while circling the wagons.\n\nI personally have no pity, they were more than happy to sign away our rights to due process and protection from search and siezure, but they cry like a bunch of babies when Bush and Co comes for them.  All of Congress (all parties) has acted like a bunch of spineless boot-licking dweebs.  Even Ron Paul rolled over on the tax cut for the rich, even lying about what it was on his web page.  And I thought I would actually have someone worth voting for this election.  All of them have been letting Bush get away with murder (literally) for 6 years now, "Take my legislative power...PLEASE!"

Republicans murdered over 650,000 innocents at home, and in the Middle East.\n\nDemocrats had the balls to stop the dictator from doing more harm last night

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!

Still sounds like good enough reasons to be Republican in my book.\n\nEDIT:  They'll never get it.  Eye for an eye.  Don't pass children through the fires of Molech (hedonism).  Don't worry about it, they'll get it when a criminal has a gun to their head.

It will win elections for the Republicans.  The Republicans don't need to do much of anything to win these days they just let the Democrats talk about how they want to give illegals free social benefits, how they want to allow teenage girls to have abortions without even telling their parents, how they want to recognize gay marriage etc, etc, etc.   \n\nNo matter how bad and corrupt a Republican candidate is, he is always better than the immorality and social welfare of the other side.

They didn't. The Democratic party is the real big tent. The Republicans are the fakers.

Some Republicans still don't get the point.  Do you think after his trial when he goes to jail, he will say, "I didn't lose.  The prosecutor won"?

???????.... No... The fact that Republicans "forgot" who elected them in the first place, and why they were they were elected had the greatest effect on the elections.... Spending like drunken sailors and trying to pass an amnesty for illegals didn't help at all. It wasn't so much that the Democrats won the election, as it was that the Republicans lost it.

No if it is good it is the Republicans doing, if it is bad it is Clinton and the Democrats fault.

Well said. Republicans had their chance and blew it. Greed and political expediency overcame good government. Now they lost credibility with not only the entire world, but with voters as well.  Funny and scary thing is that they still dont understand that what they were doing was wrong.

There is the Libertarian party. Their ideas still fall short, but I like their potential, which is better than the Reps or Dems. Also they would more likely pass the FairTax act (HR25).

The whole republican party suffered a defeat.   Mostly because they lost their spine in dealing with the Democrats.

Gotta love these Republicans. When things go wrong the 1st thing they do is BLAME IT ON CLINTON! For some reason I think that the RNC sent out a book to all registered party members and that is all it says. Well I have news for you all, it is 2006, Clinton has been out of office for 6 years now. This is your mess, not his.  If you would read something other than Druggy Limbaughs crap, or O'Rielly's junk, and see the other side of the story you might see that there is some merit to what Progressives in this country want to do.

I am a Republican voter.  A good thing they have done is cut taxes.  Unfortunately, cutting spending is supposed to go along with cutting taxes, at least in my ideal world.  I wish they would have secured the border.  Also, I wish that they would have given control of education back to the states instead of increasing the federal government's control of education.
