there’s a small ray of hope in there....notice the older counties in the NE in which the trend is slowly turning from D to R (Pct Rep) from 2000 to 2012?... Albeit nowhere near their previous numbers! The main problem is how weak and fickle the Republicans have been in these larger Coastal states!
The GOP responds to the wishes of its corporate paymasters, the Chamber of Commerce, and special interests. They could care less about the impact on American workers and their families. We have a massive surplus of labor and we still continue to bring in every year 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants and 640,000 guest workers. It is insanity. Americans are losing their jobs and their wages are being depressed. In the meantime, our taxes are supporting the massive immigrant flow that affects our social welfare system, schools, healthcare facilities, and prison facilities.
