And it is a war they have been taking hill by hill, through the public school system, for the past forty years.

In 1980, there were 13 Republican senators from "deep blue" states (states Al Gore wone by >54%).

Now, there is one (Chaffee).

In 1980, there were 11 Democrats from "deep red" states-and there are still eight.

The RATs are fighting a war-and they're winning.

This is so wrong, I don't know where to begin responding to this. Apparently, you don't follow congressional politics, if you're going to claim that the Democrats have made progress from 1980 to today.
