So your position is that you lot keep losing because the voters are
stupid?

That seems a rather silly statement, considering that Bush received
less than 50% of the votes in the last election.

I suppose its also possible that a majority of the voters voted for
democratic senators in the last elections---but I haven't tallied up
the votes for the big states with democratic senators and compared it
to the totals for the smaller states with republican senators.

For example, California Senator Barbara Boxer won reelection by
2.5 million votes over her republican adversary. Feinstein did
about the same. That margin of victory is about 5 times the
total population of Wyoming, which elected two republican senators
(where the winner might have gotten 25,000 more votes than the
loser).

In any case there's a strong argument that the republicans hold power
due to the oddities of the American electoral system---not because
they had the support of the majority of the voters.

Perhaps, but they're smart enough to not vote your you lot. What does
that say about you?

A comprehensible sentence would have strengthened your argument! ;-)
