Truth hurts doesn't it. I hate the fact that only 1 out of every three people voted in this last election. I think it is one of the saddest things that could happen to our republic.

I live in a very large county Whitley County close to 40,000 population was, heavy Republican area and about 8,500 people voted. 6,000 for the Republican ticket and 2,500 for the Democrat ticket. That was it. What were the totals in your county?

Almost any time a political party loses an election in the U.S. it is because of a low voter turnout for their party. Once again, you miss my point. The Republicans did not lose this bad in 2012, except the disappointment of not getting the president position and a couple senate seats. This year, the Democrats got spanked in almost every area - from state legislatures, to the senate, and even governor positions in places such as Massachusetts, Illinois, and Maryland. The Republican party is now in one of the strongest positions it has been in a long time. Which leads to the point of my original post, calling out the liberal bias of the media based on the fact that they are using the low voter turnout as an excuse for this major loss while claiming that the Republicans need to change their core values when they lose an election yet maintain their majority in the house and suffer only small losses in other areas.

BTW - Republicans now control 68 state legislatures, will lead the house and senate, and will have over thirty governors. You can thank Obama and the Democratic leadership for that low turnout at the polls (or better yet, misinformed voters that only vote when it's "cool" to vote, every four years) which led to this. Truth hurts, doesn't it?
