We lost in 2006 because of “macaca”, “Foleygate” being blamed on a “culture of corruption” in the GOP, and a toe tapper.
That was what got the press in the runup to the election, not that Republicans has fallen off of pushing for conservative ideals.
Pelosi promised voters the most ethical congress in history.
How has that worked out?

There was more to the story than that, and you know it.
The lack of fiscal responsibility on the part of the GOP probably led a whole lot of small "l" libertarians deciding that the GOP was no longer their Home.
Couple that with the lack of leadership in "FoleyGate" (Leadership knew about it all along) and I several prominent Republicans pushing for AMNESTY and you have a whole lot of rightfully ticked off GOP voters.
