Because the media says so. Close races generate endless stories and make lots of money.

Because 43% of the voters are the people Alexis de Toqueville warned us about. And then there’s 7% who are just drooling morons.

They’re not close. If you could see the internal polling you’d faint.

Republicans are not afraid to hold the Dems feet to the fire. They are complicit in the same corruption. All of them need their feet burned.
How obvious does it need to be that Republican leadership opposes the restoration of the republic? They are afraid to lose their power.

Blame the Media. The Media is the greatest threat to America today.

The GOP-e doesn’t talk about that stuff because they don’t really care about it. They care about having their “turn” to distribute government goodies, which will keep their donors happy so they will keep giving the
party money.

Not a very good analysis. He omitted two pillars of Dem success. Their communications wing and get out the vote strategy.

For the anti-life, “equality trumps all”, and superciliously righteous, this is not a business, it is not even politics in the accepted sense. It is a religion, and not a well-defined one, either. In fact, they keep changing their own definitions, sometimes with such speed that many of their previously highly regarded “brain trust” people are sometimes left on the outside looking in, wondering what the blazes just happened here.

"This is what the political battle is about and unless Republicans embrace the missionary attitude, and make freedom their rallying cry, it is not just elections they are jeopardizing but the future of our country as well."

I think the GOPe is more comfortable with the missionary position than the missionary attitude.

Mitt Romney’s performance on Chris Wallace today is a clue.
Clueless Republicans who don’t know what is going on.

The Republican strategy is vote for me - I oppose President Obama. They don’t have a unified message of what they are for, and what they will do, such as the contract with America.

Also, their actual performance last time they were in control of the Government - continued to grow government and restrict freedom.

There seems to be an impression that we are going to hell in a hand basket, but it’s just slower with the Republicans.

The electorate seems to feel that politicians will not represent the American people-just special interest groups and huge campaign donors.

One problem - Iraq is not free, never has been free, and probably never will be free. One of the reasons Republicans lost is that Americans are tired of our troops being sent on futile missions that accomplish nothing for our own security.
