Republicans Deserved To Lose

This, and not Iraq, is the real reason why Republicans lost yesterday:

Consider these results from a poll of voters in 12 swing GOP-held congressional districts, conducted by OnMessage Inc. (PDF):

No, these results are not typographical errors:

* When asked which Party they believe would cut taxes for the middle-class 42% said the Democrats while only 29% chose the Republicans.

* When asked which Party will work toward reducing the deficit 47% chose the Democrats while only 22% chose the Republicans.

* Again, when asked who will keep government spending under control the Democrats held a 17 point edge (38% Democrats, 21% Republicans).

Pathetic isn’t it?

And to think, all it would have taken is some fiscal restraint and real efforts to shrink the size of government (with a little less corruption mixed in) and the Democrats would still be the minority party.
