See post 36, and you are overlooking that Texas is something that California has never been, conservative.

California has been republican, but it was never right wing and seriously Christian.

Don't kid yourself. California used to be very conservative. The whole Reagan Administration came from California, where he was governor twice. San Francisco used to have Republican mayors before the 70's.

Texas is in a catch 22: the more they bring in industry, the more liberals it will attract. The more Hispanics, especially illegals, move into Texas, the greater the demand for government checks and services will be. The end of Texas is as inevitable as the end of California.

Not true! For years ( years ago) I was a member of the California Republican Assembly. The CRA was ( and still is) very Conservative. At that time Orange County was as conservative a place as you would find anywhere. A lot of John Birch Society people were also in the CRA. Sadly, even Orange County isn’t so conservative any longer thanks to illegal immigration and more Liberal Migration from New York and Maryland. So I guess you think Ronald Reagan wasn’t a conservative? The other thing you make reference to is Christianity. I am a Christian myself, but it isn’t a litmus test for Conservatism for me. I know any number of Jews who are very conservative, other faiths as well. And when I see a post like yours, I think well I am dealing with someone whose religion trumps everything else. How is that different than the Muzzies? The so-called Christian Right would rather see Obama have another four years to instill Marxism, than vote for a decent man because he happens to be a Mormon. I don’t get it!
