No. It's a combination of:
1. The dems are better at getting their "base" to the polls, and
2. the current "trend" of conservatives being single-issue voters and selfish "I'll-take-my-marbles-and-go-home" voters.
One difference between conservatives and liberals: Conservatives are guided by TRUTH. Liberals try to GUIDE the Truth.
Republican since before she was born… and PROUD of it.

They win elections because there are more takers than makers in this world. So much so that it's a miracle that the Republicans EVER win an election.

Turn it around my friend, republicans win plenty of elections too no matter how many democrats demean teh party and claim they can't. It is a silly question. Reagan, then clinton, then bush, then bush and now Obama. Seems pretty even to me.

It's kinda libtarded to ignore the 2010 midterm elections when libtards controlled congress and the executive branch.

people are easily influenced. we do NOT spend the time and thought to make up our own minds.
there is NOT too much difference. a very rough division is progressive vs conservative, change in the hope of making things better or sticking to the old ways of the "good old days". Economic self interest is the biggest driver.

Do you have any evidence to support the claim that winning elections means your competent and that your ideas work? Basically, that's what you seem to be implying.
When the Germans elected Adolf Hitler, does that mean Fascism is great? No, the truth is, every German who voted for Hitler was either wrong or misguided or both.
And anyone who voted for Obama is either ignorant or naive or both.
And yes, I just compared Hitler to Obama.

If you are under 30 and vote Republican, you have no heart. If you are over 30 and vote Democrat, you have no brain.

Because the people saying those things are cynical liars concerned about nothing but their own money.
