Do you know what irritates me most about politicians? I mean ALL politicians- republicans, democrats, blah, blah, blah...
Their weird justifications whenever they lose an election. What might that be, you ask?
We lost because our base wasn't motivated to vote. We lost because people didn't get out and vote. We lost because we didn't explain ourselves well enough, and people weren't motivated to vote.
Maybe you lost because people disagree with you and your policies.
And before anyone fires back at me with Obama and the democrats, let me make myself clear- ALL POLITICIANS DO THIS.
In 2006, the republicans lost- and they did the same thing. It wasn't that their base did not turn out to vote, they were tired of how they were running things.
To the democrats that lost this year- it was not because your people did not turn out to vote, it was not because you didn't get your message out, and it was certainly not because us dumb citizens just don't understand what you are trying to do.
You lost because people do not like the way you are running things. Period.
End of rant.
Peace- I'm out.

I wish I could bet with someone (because I know I'd win) that Cleaver will say that he won by such a narrow margin because everyone who voted for Turk is racist. I love how people in Alaska are trying everything they can to keep Merkowski from getting all her write-in votes counted. It makes me laugh!! How childish is this!? The whole thing is hilarious. Although, not as hilarious as Ike "an institution in Missouri politics" Skelton being voted out of office to a newbie!! Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa
I mostly agree with you, but I think I lack your faith in the American public to vote as a completely informed body. If everybody looked up the voting records and agendas of the candidates, there wouldn't be any point to all the political ads implying that the other guy is friends with child molesters. Like you, this goes for both sides. A deviously well-run, well-funded campaign does at least as much to get somebody elected as the public's opinion of that person's policies.
