I dont believe that people voted for liberal policies, but that's what they will most likely get.
The Republican party is the home of the conservatives. There are some Democrat conservative leaning pols though.
In this case the Dems "out-conservatived" the Reps. They said things that liberals would never say like, I believe in gun rights, love Jesus, believe that abortion is wrong and the like. Saying things like that and not being under indictment pulled them over.
Once in Congress they will probably be "influenced" to vote liberal by the senior leadership there. Those that thought for one second that they would be able to effectively support anything conservative were'nt paying attention. They were just intent on getting rid of the Reps.
To be sure, I know what's coming and I'm not the least bit happy.
