Alabama was the most conservative state in the union in 2012, with more than half of state residents describing themselves as politically conservative, according to a new survey released today by Gallup.

Alabama is majority conservative.

And Massachusetts consistently elected Ted (thankfully, now dead Ted) and Bawney, along with Fauxahontas?

And they actually consider themselves more sophisticated than bubba and the boys?

[skeeter]

Imagine that - all the sh*t California takes on this board and the state doesn’t even show up in the top ten most liberal.

Why does North Dakota have a democrapic senator?

The great secret about California is that once you get out of the coastal strips from Santa Rosa to Monterey and Santa Barbara to San Diego, it pretty much is Alabama.

Similar to the love Texas gets on this board and it is not in the top 10 conservative states.

Yet, AL still had counties that went for the Bamster...can’t be said of OK.

Only if Alabama is a desert...

I am surprised that Texas did not make the list.

Lots of people who tell a pollster they are “conservative” have opinions that would get them zotted from FR within a week.

Yup, same as the polls where folks identify as Christian.

[kosciusko51]

OK is a bit more ... how shall I put this ... monochromatic than AL. Holder’s people voted for 0...

Same in Pennsylvania . . commies infest the edges, but PAlabama rules the heartland.

Roll Tide.

[RetiredArmy]

Roll Tide. Man, am I glad I was born here and again live here after 35 years away!!!!

[Little Ray]

Georgia didn’t make the top 10. We need Sherman to visit an burn Atlanta again.

[Little Ray]

The bad news about California is that most of the people live in those coastal strips and they control the legislature and the electoral votes.

The poll is bogus, otherwise they wouldn't have Landrieu-siana on the list.

[Bellflower]

Yeah!!! My birth State, that is my born again eternal birth State. Love Alabama!!!

[dfwgator]

Roll Tide/War Damn Eagle!

Why does North Dakota have a democrapic senator?

I am from North Dakota, so I think it is possible that ND rats are more conservative than New York or California rats. ND is a great place to live, except for one thing. It is too dang cold, and Alabama is too dang hot.
