Here's another reason why the Republican party lost. From the Republican party platform: "We do not support government bailouts of private institutions. Government interference in the markets exacerbates problems in the marketplace and causes the free market to take longer to correct itself. We believe in the free market as the best tool to sustained prosperity and opportunity for all." less than a month after that proclamation was made, President Bush bailed out wall street. You can't go around being a blatant hypocrit and then expect to win elections.
