It occurs to me that “Hispanics” are not Irishmen. They don’t see the worth of voting even in districts where they dominate, at least in those places where they are not long established.

The thing that gets me Wa Wa’d up is the name Democratic! There is nothing Democratic about the Democrats. What is a Democratic? Hannity drives me crazy always saying “The Democratic Party”. The liberals use this term all the time. We should refer to them what they are. The Undemocratic Party, or what they really are. Communists, Socialists,Idiots, Facists, or whatever. Thank You. D

I agree with you. Every time I vote I always make a lot of noise about the sign being wrong - the two parties are Democrat and Republican - and ask to talk to the “person in charge” about the error. Never gets me anywhere, particularly when the person in charge that day happens to be someone who is a member of our Republican Women’s group but I still do it.

The true name of the Dems would be the “Teachers Union Political Action Committee”; they are 100% owned by the teachers’ unions. They don’t represent the teachers’ unions; they are owned by them.

They are democratic Socialists. Call ‘em what they are, their heads will explode.

Democratic is an adjective
Democrat is a noun

“the white working-class share of the vote is declining”

Focusing solely on this demographic is a surefire path to success - rolls eyes.

Elections are won in key districts and key states—all of the rest is background noise.

On the national level, Obama can get reelected even if he loses badly with working-class whites, thanks to the rapidly diversifying electorate.

"Rapidly diversifying electorate is code for making illegals legal... Democrats would cheerfully turn our country into a third world hellhole IF it would keep them in power.

True, look at the cities in which they dominate.

I think of them as Social Democrats. That is the European (except in England) name for Socialist parties.In England they are Labour. The Bolsheviks in Russia came out of the Social Democrat Party and were not its leftmost faction at the time.

I guess, “insufficient numbers of unemployed blacks to ensure Democratic house”, didn’t appeal to the base...

I'm sorry. I goofed. Please pardon my omission.

When anyone forgets a URL, enclose the title or other unique text within quotation marks, e.g. "Working-Class Whites a Barrier to a Democratic House"

The period was omitted for clarity.

http://www.nationaljournal.com/columns/against-the-grain/working-class-whites-a-barrier-to-a-democratic-house-20120620

I used the original title, but unique text is often better because titles often change, especially with syndicated essayists.

Then search for that string of words on Yahoo, Google, etc.

That's how you can retrieve the URL. What if I dropped dead in the meantime? I just about did with Robert's consent to Obamacare.
