Reply #10: That was part of it, but the failure of the Dems to refute the [View All]

lies coming fromt he Pubs I think really did us in. Every issue that we won was slamed by the Pubs as being BAD. Health Care was going to cost you more, bankrupt the Country & unconstitutional (not to mention those Death Panels)! The stimulus was unnecessary and tripled the budget deficit. Obama raised your taxes, which is a complete lie, but so many Americans believed it.

I think not being able to prove to the American people that all those stories were absolute lies burried the Dems for this election. I don't know if the Admin didn't try hard enough to explain their programs, if WE as Dem supporters didn't fight the Pubs hard or loud enough, if FOX is just that powerful, or a combination of all of those.
