THE NATURAL BORN LIARS DEMOCRAT PARTY LEADERS TRIES TO SUGAR COAT THE MIDTERM ELECTION LOSS TO THE GOP WITH SOMETHING OTHER THAN THEM DEMS AS BEING THE PROBLEM LIKE THEIR POLICY THAT HAVE DONE NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS WAY OF LIFE–SO GOES HARRY REID (D-NV) AND MADAME NANCY PELOSI (D-CA)

Stung by this week’s heavy defeat at the polls, Democrats on Capitol Hill are aching for leaders to find a new direction in the next Congress.

The party suffered a long and painful night Tuesday as a GOP wave swept away its control of the Senate and carried Republicans toward their largest majority in the House in almost a century.

Democratic leaders have blamed the results on a perfect storm of circumstances that conspired to make this a historically tough election cycle.

Some rank-and-file members, however, are citing another factor: the timidity, as they see it, that has been shown by Democrats when it comes to confronting Republicans on the most pressing policies of the day.

The agitated lawmakers have stopped short of calling for a new crop of leaders — so far — but they do want to see the party take a new, more aggressive tack in the next Congress and beyond. 

“We spent six years dancing in the middle and not providing an assertive contrast to the Republicans, and we’re paying the price for it,” Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said Wednesday by phone.
