When Democrats lose an election...

WideRight05 Wrote: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?

Wonderful opinion. I used a fact about Whitley County Kentucky a republican stronghold and how low the voter turnout was in this county and you respond by... opinion. I can see why only a few people post on these threads. Anyway...

Again in two years, U.S. senate will flip back to Democratic control. Gerrymandering has made it impossible for real opinions to matter. I think you saw the samething in '08. So how many people voted in your county?
