Yep, that is why we can still find stupidity, now...right...
I love when, people such as you say "again".....
Yet people such as YOU completely forget, that in the 2010 elections, (why obama is not able to implement many things right now) that the DEMS LOST, not just a little, a LOT.....
Let's not forget, that not only did the repubs take back the House, but including the House the total dem seats that were lost were about 700 seats thoughout the United States...
Many of YOUR candidates lost, and many of your current candidates are following Ted Cruz recommendations.....why is that...
Oh, don't do that or her head will explode and then she'll call you a racist.

What the Republicans want, more than ANYTHING, is to win the Presidency. They love authority like that. Unfortunately, they cannot seem to do so.
Better luck in say . . . 2020 or there abouts.
Do tell which Democrats are following the oh-so-wise words of Mr. Cruz. I know what you are going to say, but indulge me.
Keep telling yourself that is why he won ~ a second time around. You'll have another Democratic president for the next 8 years while you still can't determine why your candidate lost AGAIN.
He won the second term because:
1. The GOP ran someone who was out of touch with the average American.
2. Romney embellished and was caught too many times. He could have simply told the truth and only the truth and been very successful for it.
3. Typically Americans shun change.
4. Way to many lazy voters. They depended on the media to tell them who was best.
5. Finally The democrats have more hardliners than the GOP does. Hardliners will never vote for anyone outside their own party.

Romney telling the truth would have been far worse.
Really? I don't see "His stated policies are far more equitable, progressive and congruent with my own personal morals and ethics, than those of the Republicans" anywhere on the list. That's my reason for supporting him, given no reasonable alternative.
Of course, if you went with that, you just wouldn't be a good ditto-head, would you?
The man has lied to you over and over again. Oh sure he reads off speeches where he sounds like he is more "congruent with your own personal morals and ethics"and then he turns around and does the exact opposite. You are being played for a fool.
Never ~ during Bush's tenure in office - did I hear him criticized by his supporters for his raiding of the treasury department. Never.
NOW that he is gone; I do very occasionally hear the lackluster voicing of displeasure. Even THAT is rare.
It stems from either ignorance or a short memory, on your part.
Possibly you were too busy hating Bush to listen to what any of us, or other Republicans had to say about his enacted policies and proposals. Plenty of push back came Bush's way on his deficit spending, immigration reform, Dubai ports deal, his letting Ted Kennedy write the education bill, his No Child Left Behind and Medicare Part D, and on and on....
Hell, I even gave you a quote from McCain being critical of his deficit spending, and you still play the fool.
Although Obama is not a Progressive and NEVER claimed to be
You truly do not know much about Obama...no wonder you voted for him twice.
From the 2008 campaign:
Quote:
“I am someone who is no doubt progressive,” he (Obama) said, adding that he believes in universal health care and that government has a strong role to play in overseeing financial institutions and cracking down on abuses in bankruptcies and the like.
“I believe in a whole lot of things that make me progressive and put me squarely in the Democratic camp” -Obama
In 2000, Barack Obama, then a state senator, sat down with his two Democratic opponents in a race for the 1st Congressional District in Illinois and described himself as a "progressive urban Democrat."
