Why the Republicans lost

Here's a few reasons why the Republicans lost the White House and so many seats in Congress:

• The lying murdering greedy pig known as George W. Bush.
• Dick "I have no compassion" Cheney.
• McCain had months to find a running mate and he ended up picking someone who was supposed to do what he could not, excite his base.
• Obama out organized everyone and that includes Hillary and McCain.
• The unpopular war.
• The bad economy which was brought to us by years and years of failed conservative fiscal policy and corporate greed.
• McCain's insulting pick of Sarah Palin was supposed to get disaffected Hillary supporters because Palin has a vagina. Duh. Genitals is about the only thing she and Clinton have in common.
• McCain ran a lackluster campaign that counted on everyone supporting him because he was a POW.
• People have finally seen through the religious right.
• The anti immigrant stance of the GOP finally woke Hispanics up.
• McCain's many flip flops. The one that really did him in was when he went to Liberty University and he had his picture taken with that dead homophobic pig Falwell.
• No matter who many times they try to tell us that we are a "center right" nation, we're not. Americans support Social Security, Medicare, and a majority of us support single payer universal health insurance, those are all programs and ideas promoted and supported by the left.
• The failure of the corporate media to frame the debate. They kept trying to distract us with things like Rev. Wright, Hillary's pants suits, the "rift" between Hillary and Obama, Mitt Romney's 17 kids, Mike Huckabee's penchant for fried squirrel, but it didn't work.
• After 8 years of being led by a moron who not only does not understand the Constitution, he disdained it, we had had enough. No amount of fear mongering and phony patriotic bullshit was going to sway us from tossing out the people who brought us the economic meltdown, the war of terror, domestic spying, the Patriot Act, and who stood by and let 9/11 happen.

For the past 14 years 'bi-partisan' has meant that progressives and Democrats had to be more like Republicans, here's hoping that that kind of backwards thinking becomes obsolete. President-elect Obama and the new larger Democratic majority in Congress have a clear mandate to change the policies that brought us all this pain and national shame. This election was a slate cleaner, let's make sure they do what we the people want and not what the corporations want.
