Here are the results of the last one;

"George W. Bush emerged from the election with fifty-one percent of the popular vote -- the first outright majority for any presidential candidate since his father in 1988, and the first president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936 to be re-elected while gaining seats in both the House and the Senate."

NOTE: Bill Clinton never got 50% of the vote.

because they run such applicants as Dukakis, Mondale, Gore, Kerry, Obama, and Hillary. even as they do get someone interior the workplace, they get Carter and Clinton. both one of which left an rather bitter flavor interior the mouths of electorate. Carter replaced into an entire and utter catastrophe on each project that you'll imagine. Clinton presented embarrassment to the workplace at the same time with his philandering and next obstruction of justice and perjury. a lot for the promise of the most moral administration in historic previous. Hillary has this and diverse different luggage. Obama only has a large empty trunk.

The reason why they've lost 7 out of 10 is because of the fact that, during the 1960s they had control, simultaneously, of all 3 branches of the federal government but the country was not in BETTER shape at the end of that decade, it was in WORSE shape. Liberals had bitten off far more than they could chew during that decade. They became too confident that they could solve every problem. The decade started off with so much optimism and idealism; the decade ended with rampant cynicism and a social structure that was disintegrating. Liberals had ruined the country, so by 1972, the word "liberal" itself became a pejorative. Hence, Richard Nixon clobbered George McGovern in a landslide.

However, notice that during the years 2003 to 2006, Republicans controlled all 3 branches of the federal government? Methinks I hear an echo, ....................

NOTE: In both elections Clinton ran against a republican and the strongest third party candidate since 1912. Both times he had much more broad base support than the current President Bush, both times he blew the republican candidate away in the electoral college (Bush barely had enough votes) and both times he defeated the republican in the popular vote by a wider margin than Bush beat Kerry (Gore won the popular vote in 2000).

They lose them the same way they win them, by making promises they can't keep. Our promise making Democratic controlled Senate has a lower approval rating than the President.

I would suspect it has to do with the GOP's careful honing of its 'dirty tricks' campaigns. Republicans have taken a page from the Nazis' play book and used every nefarious, sinister, underhanded ruse possible to win elections.
Remember the smear tactics they used against Sens. Muskie and Eagleton? Remember Reagan's "arms-for-hostages" scandal? Remember Watergate?? Remember the Bush conspiracy in Florida that eventually allowed the Supreme Court to pick our President?? Republicans have won because they're better at fighting dirty, aggressively undermining opponents, and performing whatever cheap tricks necessary to ensure victory - at any cost, even the cost of their own integrity, decency and morality. -RKO- 10/11/07

In case you were in a coma during the last 2 elections, you should know that Mr. bush did not win, fair and square.
But that's history.
It's not going to happen again. People are fed up and disgusted with the state of our country since bush has taken office. We're ready for a change!

The Dems havent learned how to manipulate the "single issue hot button" voters in America.

The Rep's stand against homosexuality, but many of their number are buggers, and pedophiles.

The Rep's use abortion and Gay marriage to scare the religous right.

The Rep's squawk about flag burning and "not supporting the troops" to rally the rabid patriots, while downplaying their own draft dodging past.
I would say that the Rep's have brilliantly manipulated the American people, but you dont have to be brilliant to do that, the Dem's have been weak and stupid in their attempts at this.

One reason is that the Republican Party is aligned with business and business owners, thus they have historically raised more money to pay for things like....oh...those wonderful swift boat people...to slander the Democratic opposition.

But look! Not this time! Big Biz is Backing the DEMS!!!! everybody knows 2008 is a lock so even Hillary's enemies are trying to buy influence...

politics tends to be cyclical...... Im sure you can back thru history and find many instances of one party or the other dominating presidential elections over a stretch of time...... the republicans success over the last several decades has no bearing on the possiblity of democrats putting the same kind of streak

The Democrats are not the same as the Democrat Party of earlier days....the party has been hijacked by atheists, feminazis, abortionists, homosexuals, black racists, and lately, supporters of ISLAM.....

THAT IS WHY THEY CANNOT WIN NATIOINAL ELECTIONS.
