After thought the poster agreed that this indeed was a factor that these newcomers are dems and in areas that are sparsely populated this will have a dramatic affect on the vote.

Many Dems I know are not the flaming loons like Cindy Sheehan ... they are more like the JFK or RFK democrats

When you really talk to them .. they don't like socialism .. they don't like paying higher taxes and the don't Hellarycare for THEMSELVES

They consider the Government like a charity to help the "poor people"

They don't realize what happens when they keep voting in dems .. because when things get bad .. they just move to a different place .. they move on and don't realize the mess they left behind

For example .. a few years back I had a conversation with my dem sister and her husband .. I tried and tried to get them to understand

Finally I asked them why they left Philly .. a city that has been controlled my Dems for many many years

Their answer was .. the school system was corrupt and lousy, the crime was higher, the taxes were too high and the jobs were leaving to the burbs

Though they did eventually see my point .. they still vote dems into office .. who are doing the exact same thing they did to Philly

So .. how do we fix this and correct it?? ... I really don't know

Even the long long suffering people in Philadelphia continue to vote in utterly corrupt leaders. At this point I no longer have any sympathy for them at all. Those that can, escape, those left behind are in control of their own fate. They're welcome to it, when they vote D and suffer.

It's a decision they have to come to themselves, not one we can "sell" them on. For our part, this is a continuing education effort that is never ending. There will always be leftists who desire socialism and communism over capitalism and free markets.

Somehow something must be found to appeal to them but unfortunately then the "true conservatives" will go wacko and say the Republican Party has sold out.

Somehow a happy balance is needed to get this crucial voters who will increase over the years rather than decrease the longer the Dems remain in power.

Let me know if anyone mentions the JROTC being kicked out.
Thanks.

Amazing, isn't it? Every dem I know understands this, but "old habits--and propaganda--die hard." The dems still think they're the party of the "little guy," and of "tolerance," etc. They're still in the 1930's, and are living a lie about FDR. Our side is not very good with propaganda--something very hard to do, when the DBM is biased in favor of the dem's mythological version of 20th century history.
