The Democrats lost because of Bush's failures
..well first of all we don't have a leader at the DNC,,When the chairman of our party fails to recognize our President for his accomplishments then hides from him,then our party is in trouble. But the Republicans used Bush's failures to gain control of the House in 2012 and now the Senate.
Instead of being out there on every Sunday talk show available and talking about how much the deficit had gone down,(253 billion)
how unemployment had decreased from 12.1% to 5.4 %. How we were able to save millions of jobs by helping GM survive.How the President rescued/saved millions of uninsured so they could get healthcare and the list goes on and on.
Republicans were out there really since 2008 talking about the how bad this economy was. They took Bush's economic disaster gave the blame of those failures to the President and the Democrats. The only Democrat that spoke up and challenged those accusations was the President while other Democrats sat there tight lipped for 6 years and did not say a thing and allowed this take over to happen. For most races the Democratic candidates were there but where in the hell was the party. Oh there was some token help but where was the Democratic Party.
Most of the Senate races were called by Midnight and I think we knew by 1 AM the Repukes had gained control because Democrats have no back bone. Its like they wanted the Repukes to win and offered no resistance.
So the Rebukes gained control of the Senate by 1 AM and DNC chairman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz should have been fired at 1:01 AM
With a leader like Howard Dean this would never had happen. When we had a tight race for the Senate going in a State like Kentucky a Howard Dean leadership would not have pulled funding. It was the message that was sent to voters that could have lost that race because voters didn't show up. Never mind the fact that Grimes might have had funding in her war chest to get through, it was the message sent.
Shame on you Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz you failed miserably.
Oh,Did I mention the fact that we don't have competent leadership at the DNC?
