The reason the Republicans lost was because they all look like John McCain. They are all old bald white rich men, spending all their time golfing at the country club.

To the Attention of Mere: You are incorrect. Facism is associated with the extreme right, Hitler, the Nazi party... the Republicans. Anything big oil wants the Republicans are more than happy to oblige, with of course money being donated to the Republican party. You are too busy spewing out rhetoric from the Nazi News Network aka Fox News, to even be able to think for yourself. Just a couple of years ago all of you Republicans were touting how you loved driving your SUV's and trucks, all the while giving money to the Middle East for the oil that your gas guzzlers swallowed, at the same time criticizing the left for driving Hybrids like the Prius.

As usual the right wing facist Republicans have the oil situation completely wrong. Allowing for drilling will not bring any results for 7 years and the oil will be sold on the world market, not lowering the price at all in the U.S. Ending the illegal war Bush and the Republicans started, that the U.S. can't afford, is a start to getting our country on the right financial track.
