Entry: A New Myth of '06 Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/a_new_myth_of_06#26540 Post contents: Barone also fails to mention Hayworth's connections to Jack Abramoff are generally considered by most observers to the primary reason he lost, coupled with the general drop in support nationwide for the Republicans in the wake of the intensification of violence in Iraq in early 2006. The only reason the Republican establishment can get away with spinning these idiotic tales as to why the party lost in 2006 is because the vast majority of Republicans want to believe in them, as it delays the inevitable facing of reality about Iraq. There's absolutely no empirical data from any poll ever taken over the past two years that suggest that earmarks or this supposed "hard line" (where?) stance on immigration did much at all to kill the GOP.
