Facts and figures prove that Republicans lost, because many didn't bother to turn out and vote.

Republicans and conservatives who voted at least have a clear conscience, we did our duty.

The Dems turned out their people, they wanted to win, you can't blame them for that.

But Republicans and conservatives who didn't bother voting are directly responsible for the current Dem Congress.

"Facts and figures prove that Republicans lost, because many didn't bother to turn out and vote."

Not everyone is a pragmatist and some don't want to hold their nose while voting.

"In the ballots so far counted in 2006 (and again excluding California, Oregon and Washington), citizens cast 31,703,311 votes for Democratic candidates for U.S. House, compared to 28,749,023 in 2002. The Republican candidates received 29,920,240 votes in 2006 compared with 32,771,580 in 2002."

So 61.6 million total vs. 61.5 million total in 2002. Hmmm. It's a good thing that we know it was an honest election, and that no votes were "miscounted". /sarc

Garbage. The loss was due to a swith of votes.
