There is a difference between liberal and democrat. Take Harlem for example. Democrat...yes. Many of them are also religious and socially conservative. They are not motivated by liberal philosophy but by race-baiting.
OK, we have a lot of liberal Republicans too, but that holds for the East Side as well. Hard to count if you're going to do liberal vs. conservative. VERY few conservatives. We did have a Liberal Party and we still have a Conservative Party, but even the Conservatives are split on many hard-right issues.
What a refreshing pause to hear Rick Tyler from GOPAC yesterday. Ah. A Republican. Right here in New York.
