A lot can change in just four years. For former Florida Governor Jeb Bush a four-year timetable is enough for a significant shift for the Republican party. He tells Joe Hagan of New York magazine: “It’s a math question. Four years from now, Texas is going to be a so-called blue state. Imagine Texas as a blue state, how hard it would be to carry the presidency or gain control of the Senate.” Hagan starts the article for New York magazine with this idea that Texas’ rapidly changing demographic will unfavorably affect the Republican party. He writes: “Sitting down across from me, [Jeb] assumes his role as party Cassandra, warning of the day when the Republicans’ failure to tap an exploding Hispanic population will cripple its chances at reclaiming power—starting in Texas, the family seat of the House of Bush.” If this is a problem for the Republican party, Hagan believes Bush is just the solution: “a popular two-time governor of a Hispanic-heavy state, with a record of improving education for minorities, fluent in Spanish, married to a Latina, and father to two Hispanic sons, George P.

Yes there is, we call him Joe Straus
The Southern USA is a much better example. California chases out Anglos and continues to import immigrants. Even though it’s a lost cause, it is less blue come Tuesday compared to 08 bcoz people are getting tired of this crap.

The great taxpaying American middle class is finding its true home which is the Republican party. This awareness is traveling thoughout the country first from the South, now it is showing up in the Midwest in Wisconsin, even people in Massachusetts where I live are telling me that they do not recognize the Democratic party that they grew up in. This is the beginning of a sea change in American politics. People are begining to see through the self-serving lies of the Democrats. There is one thing that the Democratic party cannot endure and that is people actually watching them closely. The more you look at them, the more they seem like the snake oil salesmen that they are.
LMAO @ Post 31!
Good one, Laz!
