The Six Reasons Are:
George "Macaca" Allen
Linc "libidiot" Chafee
Conrad "Loose Mouth Abramoff" Burns
Mike "Useless" Dewine
What's His Name "What'd he do" Talent
Rick "Maybe he's in a liberal State" Santorum
You forgot:
Fouled up Foley
That one had legs.
Jim "Sudafed-counter" Talent. I still would have voted for him.
....and a Republican leadership worried more about power then reform and.....hmmmmm....maybe US, the American people....Nothing of substance has been accomplished in Congress in two years....sometimes that is good....but not so in this case
Talent at least seemed like a decent guy... Ditto on the rest.
Bah, only 1 reason Repubs lost. They no longer represented the actual Repub voters.
Big Spending
Big Government
Big Borders
republicans lost because they lost their way. Big spending, acting like rinos, allowing corruption to go on in their ranks.
This should be a wake up call. I wonder if people will take the hint, or try to run more 'moderates' like rudy in 2008.
The Talent commercials I saw were odd. Except the negative ads which were on message. The others were either promoting something liberals would like or declaring he was not and has not "rubber stamped" the President. Okaaaay. Yawn. So what.
You nailed it.
Yep, that is it. All the issues the Dims had were promoted endlessly by the MSM. An awsome display, really.
"In a VANITY, Down by the RIVER!"
Does anyone think that the D's will address the following?:
- Terrorism
- Illegal Immigration
- Tort Reform
- Runaway health care costs
- Meaningful tax reform
- energy exploration and reduction of foreign dependance
- Trade gaps
And the wheel goes round and round. Kinda like a turd circling the bowl.
Iraq! Iraq! Irag!
That's what did us in plain and simple
Get real Positive! All of them were winners in the past. They lost because of Iraq. In the case of Dewine and Santorum there were local considerations.
You beat me to it!
I was just going to mention Foley.

The number one reason...IRAQ!
As much as I hate to admit it.
Republicans lost because they became fake Demonrats.
It always works the same way: when having to choose between a fake and the real thing, voters tend to choose the real thing.
