It's because they just had a low turnout.

When Republicans lose an election, they are out of touch with the American public and need to change their values.

LOL, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the loser always have a low turnout? The Dems having wrongly tagged the average Joe as stupid, lost the midterms in historic fashion, and they richly deserved that loss. Jonathan Gruber is the quintessential poster boy to illustrate what I have been saying about the Dems, who will say or do anything to get in, or maintain elected power. The Clintons (both Ivy Leaguers) brought arrogance and entitlement with them to office and it was through their actions that I first became aware of the Gruber profile. Which, if I had to boil down succinctly, could be best defined by taking some liberties with a Socrates quote. "I think, therefore I am", becomes "I think I am special."

Midterm voters took exception to much of the media backed theater that passed for governance at the hands of liberals over the past six years. Unfortunately, the enlightening force behind their partial renaissance has been in the world arena. The anchor that gave the world it's sense of normalcy was the former example of leadership the US imparted. Now with the planet in the throes of tumult, and given that the great equalizer came in pledging to transform America, he has subsequently weighed anchor on the US ship of state. The new America is being blown about by the same unrest we see across the globe and he's cheering it on. I could never understand the rabid zeal shown by Obama supporters for change. We were number one in the world and no nation doubted that fact, much less our own people. Who else could ever step up and fill the role we did as recently as the George W era? The subtle horror of leaving the path is the failure to recognize it until it is too late to recover. And friend, we are off the path.

The case can be made that we Americans have lost the moral authority to lead due to having turned our backs on our Christian heritage but, I will not belabor that point again here. Liberals believe that if they pronounce their ideological goals as the truth, the people will buy into it like lemmings. To me, the nexus for their successes along those lines has been largely due to the media, who have used Hollywood caliber production to make it seem that Dems can do no wrong while simultaneously making it seem that Republicans can do no right. Voters have been concerned for many reasons, and that is why they gave Dems the heave ho. I hope the message gets through to DC that the voter expects and will not accept anything short of the truth and mutual respect from their elected officials. And, I hope that message includes a return to the moral values of our very recent past.

Republicans, other than RINO's like John McCain, were elected because they stuck by their values, the last thing they need to do is change them. In 2012, the liberals were on here crowing that Republicans would not win another election unless they made a dramatic move to the left. Love that red map!
