If not for the Iraq war, why did we lose the Senate and the House?

Liberal Democrats pretending to be Conservative Democrats?
The MSM bombarding us with so much crap over the last two years that we basically said, "enough already, we will vote Democrat"?
Things like Foley bad, Frank good, DeLay bad, Reid good, Cunningham bad, Jefferson good?

I know we lost Muslim and Hispanic votes. Do we abandon principles just to get votes? I don't know, wouldn't we wind up like the Democrats? They have no principles to speak of.

It wasn't because of the War on Terror aka Iraq War, in spite of what the MSM wants Joe and Jane Sixpack to believe.

There aren't thousands of protesters in the streets against the war as in the 60s and 70s. No Jane Fonda sitting on an ememy tank. No servicemen and women delivering anti-war diatribe.

Voters want change every so often. Always been that way and always will be.

We lost simply because too many became disenchanted, and stayed home Nov 7th. Between the spending like drunken sailors, the complete refusal to handle the Mexican invasion, the constant drum-beat of negativity from the media, its no wonder enough voters were convinced to stay home.

The left wants to make Iraq the reason for the Reps losses last fall, but I am not buying!
