as to why Democrats lost this election in so many facets, why they have continued to lose power in every election since 1992, and why they will continue to lose power without real change. They just don't get it. They think socialized medicine and the Canadian system is what most Americans want (they do not). They continue to try and perpetuate the myth about Republicans and corporations instead of addressing issues and their positions on them. They continue to believe that Americans buy into their social agenda. They continue to preach the "hate" aspect of politics and how Republicans will kill the elderly with their policies. And what happens is ordinary Americans see through it and it pushes them even more towards the Republican party.

Based on what I have heard, and the above is an example, this will continue until the Democrat party finally starts to "get it." We are not Europe. We do not want to be. Some day this might just sink in.
