Well, it has been over for more than a few days now. But the Democratic party is still trying to figure out exactly why they lost the mid-term elections. Apparently, they believe that the 111th congress was among the most productive in U.S. History. From the Stimulus package that “rescued” the entire world from the viscous jaws of the “Market”, to the Healthcare overhaul that was pushed through so fast that no-one knew exactly what was in it. From extending the Patriot Act and expanding the War on Terror, bombing Pakistan and “surging” the number of troops in Afghanistan, to the government takeover of the auto industry. The achievements of of the Democratic party are indeed, far to numerous to list here.

While most Americans look at the current resume’ of the Democratic party and shake their heads in disbelief, for the everyday progressive, these are historic accomplishments and a sign that the nation has moved beyond the era of “Corporation before Community”. So why, with a list of accomplishments this long, did the Democrats loose?
