Believe it or not, there was a time when Democrats were as much Conservative as the GOP and in some cases more.

Yes, and in all fairness, back then Republicans were fairly rare. Heck, back then I even voted for some democrats. Back when they were conservative and pro-American.

I would venture to say that many Texas Democrats are still more conservative than a lot of Republicans from other states. A lot are good decent Christian people who for some reason can't get over the long Democrat history in this state. The "yellow dog" mentality still exists.
