You lefties sure have a vivid imagination or maybe you have nothing left but Alinsky (rules for radicals) tactics. Democrats had been in the majority for four years right through the collapse of Fannie Mae and Obama had been in in office for two (long long long) years. Democrats had total majority in congress for two years and their programs were viewed correctly by voters as abject failures. Americans were so incensed about the self-serving democrat party that they kicked the majority out in the biggest mid-term landslide in 65 years.
