Ah, excuse me BBB, the full credit must go to George Bush, his administration and the corrupt Republicans who, in their arrogance, thought they were above the law.

Xingu, I think you've pretty well nailed it. I've been a Republican all my life, but dayum. . . .

I can tell them what happened,they screwed up.
They didnt take this election seriously,and they got complacent.

However,I have not heard of one single instance of a repub that lost crying "foul" about the results at all.
Why is that?

Rush Limbaugh's got a slightly different take on this (love my NewsMax updates)

I am not sure I go along totally with this opinion,but he does raise a valid point.

Many of the dems did run on issues and views that are normally the realm of the repubs.
Things like being pro 2nd amendment,pro school prayer,pro small govt,and many other things.
Did they do that because they knew they couldnt win as liberals?
I dont know.

I also know that the repubs screwed themselves,and they did it a long time ago.
They had the majority,but they were afraid to use that power.
When the dems threatened to filibuster the judicial nominees,the repubs could have stopped it by a simple vote,but they didnt.
The backed down.

The repubs refused to do anything about illegal immigration,even thought they knew many of their voters wanted that solved.
They were spending like sailors on shore leave,and that is not what they were sent there to do.
They backed down on the idea of allowing people to invest their own SS money in the stack market.
They caved in to the dems on so many things that many of their voters,and I include myself in that statement,just got so fed up with them that they lost our support.

They failed to counter all of the negative propoganda put out by the dems and the left about the war,instead they did nothing to respond.
That also cost them support.

They failed in so many ways that they didnt deserve to stay in power.

Mysteryman,

Can you name the one Democratic Senate candidate who was "pro-school-prayer"?

Hint: He was the one who lost.

Candidates won who courageously supported a path to citizenship for immigrants, rejected the Patriot Act and even support greater rights for Homosexuals.

You are right about a move toward greater support of the rights of gun owners by the Democrats. This is smart and an exception to the greater trend.

To say that Democrats won by becoming Republicans, when they won opposing war, and torture and racism is just Spin.

Just one week ago you were talking about how liberal the Democrats were. Great spin!

I am not spinning anything.
I do believe that the dems are more liberal then the repubs,and I do believe that their policies will weaken this country,weaken our rights,and weaken everything this country stands for.

I also believe that if the dems had run by being totally honest about who they are they would have lost.

That does not however,change the fact that the repubs shot themselves in the foot and cost themselves the election.

WHAT A MANDATE! Popular Vote For Senate Was 55%-43% Democratic http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rj-eskow/what-a-mandate-popular-_b_33882.html

Reading this thread only adds to my cynicism, the Great Satan hasn't changed, will not change and is still the greatest threat to world peace.

Why don't you people wake up to the fact you are the most hated country in the world because of your foreign policy and the arrogance of your government, don't you think it is time think laterally? ... If you want to be free of the terrorist threat rid yourselves of paranoia and start talking to your perceived enemies ... you will probably discover that there are many more countries in the world other than just the U.S.A. and without exception those countries see you as the real threat to peace, not Bin laden or not Al Qadea.

Recently a British Minister opened dialogue with Syria and invited the Bush regime to tag along and he was told in no uncertain terms that, "We won't be talking with those people!".... Wake up America, try to take a place in the world society ... there are billions more souls in the world and they're not all bathed in the blood of Rambo, incidentally he is a fictitious character.

PS. I once admired the US; I sincerely hope that a time will come when I can once again regain that admiration. God change America!

anton, it might help if we acknowledged that legit grievences about America do exist. You gotta admit that our corporate war merchants are very good at what they do even if what they do is no good.

Admittedly they are very good at making war, creating chaos, causing death and destruction but absolutely useless when it comes to caring for and respecting other societies and cultures. Coming from a European culture and having lived through a World War I now have an in depth understanding of what America is all about.

For years I listened to the gobble-kook of how they saved the world from Nazism and to a degree they did but that was incidental, let's say if they hadn't been dragged into the Second World War Britain and Europe would possibly be marching to the beat of a different drum today; it is certainly true that the United States got very rich on the back of the World War and from my perspective they have been trying to repeat the exercise ever since The US is ruled by and controlled by the almighty dollar which is the catalyst for all their arrogance and hegemony The United States joined the Second World War because Adolph Hitler declared war on them at the same time as the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbour, prior to that they sat on the sidelines wringing money out of Britain and her allies and so it would have remained had they not been forced to take a defensive stance.

Congratulations to the Democrats, now demonstrate to the world that you want to be part of it!

Stop acting like you're 12 Anton, if you lived through a world war, you should be nothing but thankful for the USA. If you can't love the greatest country on earth, with the most freedom and opportunity, and a constitution that protects those freedoms, you're an idiot. Wrap a towel on your head so we can spot you easily.

But then it would only be fair if you were to put a sheet over your head, so we could see you coming.

So now being proud to be an American makes me a racist?

The spin applied by the left to EVERYTHING is just pathetic.

How can it not be racist to tell someone to wrap a towel around their head or to put up tasteless cartoons making fun of Muslims? Are Muslims/Arabs excluded from the human race and so fair game for insults and sneers?

The term racism is sometimes used to refer to preference for one's own ethnic group (ethnocentrism),[2] fear of difference (xenophobia), views or preferences against interbreeding of the races (miscegenation),[3] and nationalism,[4] regardless of any explicit belief in superiority or inferiority imbedded within such views or preferences. Racism has been used to justify social discrimination, racial segregation and violence, including genocide.

We are at war with radical Islam. According to Nancy Pelosi, there is no war.
