Where were all these people on Nov. 7??? Some 10 million registered voters did not vote and nearly 4 million of them were Evangelicals. Did they stay at home because of the Mormon issue? If so, the dunces gave America Obama and many Congressional progressives who will really ruin the nation unlike the guy who just could not communicate or lie as well as our Little Jesus in the WH.

About the extent of it, now to find that list of Senators that are up in 2014.

And start pasting their names all over the place, let them know we are voting with them.

Drop the blaming of Evangelicals. More whites votes in 2008 than in 2012. Why was that? Who gave the country away in 2008 when I was begging people on TH to vote for McCain just to keep Obama out of the WH. All I heard then was they had do vote their 'principles' or were going to 'teach the GOP a lesson.' I have a pretty good idea of why people didn't vote and it didn't have a thing to do with religion.

Whether it was one religion or another, or non-religious libertarian stridency, hardly matters.

A conservative party whose base habitually refuses to support its nominees, when we are running the most left-leaning guy since FDR, has huge problems.

The Mormon issue was not in play when they "stayed home" in 2008. They "stay home" a lot.

Now you can say whatever you want about our Democratic base, but at least they vote for our candidates in pivotal, Presidential elections!

Since most of the data in post-election polling has offered little beyond a parade of ugly news, here's a glimmer of hope from Gallup:
 

For the first time in Gallup trends since 2000, a majority of Americans say it is not the federal government's responsibility to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage. Prior to 2009, a majority always felt the government should ensure healthcare coverage for all, though Americans' views have become more divided in recent years...Republicans, including Republican-leaning independents, are mostly responsible for the drop since 2007 in Americans' support for government...
