Republicans Set for Southern Sweep

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—The Republican Party is poised in the coming election to remove the vestiges of Democratic control from state governments in the heart of the South.

In Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, the GOP appears likely to win every state elected office as well as take or strengthen control over legislatures. Republican sweeps in these states would give the party control over the redrawing of congressional districts after the 2010 census, and enhance its ability to raise funds and campaign for Republican candidates in the 2012 races.

White conservative voters in the South have been turning to the GOP in recent decades, in part because of an affinity with the Republican Party's stated positions on fiscal and social issues. And now voters' unhappiness at Democratic-led Washington appears to be benefiting Republicans at all levels.

They have not even won yet and they are all scrambling to kiss Obama’s boots.

Note to the GOP, DO NOT WORK WITH OBAMA ON ANYTHING, SPEND EVERY WAKING MOMENT DESTROYING OBAMA AND DEFUNDING THE LEFT!

This election is the Republicans to blow. It’s up to us conservatives, Reagan Conservatives, to do what Ronald Reagan did and would do now. Believe in the innate greatness and goodness of the American people and this great nation, cut tax rates, (trust in God, and Peace through Fire Superiority) and then ‘’Get(government) out of the way and the American people will do the rest’’.— RR. We need this spirit now and in 2012. And it shouldn’t be about anyone individual. It’s Country First. Because The Country’s in Trouble. Big Time.
