You had Pelosi on the news saying Obamacare had to be passed to know what was in the bill. Seemed like they rammed it through as well to most people.

No that was an out-of-context quote played by the media over and over and over again. We lost as badly as we did because our President is Black and that resulted in the chickens coming home to roost in the South. Combine that with health care, which resulted in everyone drawing effigies of Obama defaced to look like Hitler and the entire thing went to Hell.

If we'd elected Hillary in 2008, we would still control Congress today.

And above all, it was the sheer stupidity and amnesia of the voters. Putting Republicans back in charge in 2010 because of the economy after we'd thoroughly vanquished them in 2006 and 2008 because of the economy is like you're not losing weight fast enough on a diet so you start pounding down cheeseburgers.
