Democrats won because the Stupid Party alienated blue-collar and independent voters with their hypocrisy on spending, moral values, and fighting a half-ass war.
There are a lot of voters who simply aren't die-hard conservatives like we are. Most of them don't know who their representative or Senator is, for crying out loud. So how the Hell is it conservatives' fault for "staying home" when a large swath of voters bought the media spin and voted for the Dims in droves.
You don't have to explain a damn thing to the GOP bootlickers.
