I posted this up in News/Activism because it is a call to activism, and therefore seemed to me to fit the bill.
This is a "caucus" thread - if you're a pro-Romney whiner, then go find another thread. This one is for conservatives who want to do something about the election besides hang our heads and timidly thump a tub for Mittens.
I've intended this thread to hang around for a while so that we can throw ideas back and forth and start trying to network, etc. If you're really interested in organizing for action, please feel free to join in. If you want to hang back and not get actively involved, well, feel free to join in or lurk too.
Thanks, Yashcheritsiy
Well, I hope for my children's sake you live in a solid blue or red state where your non-vote won't matter. Me? I live in Florida. I'm going to have to hold my nose and do the dirty work.
“This is beyond stupid”.......is it idiocy that is defined as doing something over & over again, & getting the same result over & over & over......I paraphrase. Can you say mccain, dole, ghwbush, ford? billva, you’re 180 degrees out of phase, but I know you mean well.
I think it might have been moved. The [Anti-Romney Caucus] in the title was removed.

Really good post muawiyah. Lots of interesting information here.
One thing that jumped out at me is your comments about the Southwest. Did you mean Democrats are going to continue declining throughout that region over the next decade? What about increasing legal Hispanic populations shifting the balance in places like Arizona to the left?
Need shut eye at the moment, but will return to this tomorrow.
Cheers.
What kind of math are you talking about? Not voting for Romney is not a vote for BHO it is a non vote for Romney.
Thanks Yash. Yes, it’s a great idea to keep discussing ideas.
Already there are some slobberers who have posted here which is part of the problem with an open thread.
Actually, they are probably Mitt and his sons under different pseudonyms.
How ‘bout we start by ignoring any tiresome posters who claim repetitiously:
A. We will be responsible for Obama’a reelection.,,ie “Obama thanks you”.
B. Mittens is inevitable and we should get over it.
C. He’s the lesser of two evils and we should stop with our temper tantrums.
Okay? :-)
Here's what's happened in the SW ~ the Anglos have begun pursuing their interests as Anglos, not just merchants, Catholics, Baptists, Mormons, rural ranching, suburban, etc. ~ and that has been forced on them by an increased voting population of Hispanics who see themselves as an interest group.
There's also a segment of the Hispanic population who view themselves as having the same interests as the newly defined Anglo group.
The Democrats will need to find some issue to attract all the hispanics, not just the illegal aliens' relatives who can vote.
Else, the Democrats will be reduced to representing school teachers.
At the moment the new Anglo coalition has taken over the Republican party machinery (if not control of the elections ~ hence McCain) and is able to push its agenda through the state legislatures.
CA doesn't count in this anymore. But you see the very serious phenomenon in New Mexico where the hispanic subgroup that views itself as sharing interests with the Anglos are winning elections with some regularity.
Only mittbots see things distorted.... like he can beat Obama.
Wow, that is a confusing site you linked to. It says 1 million strong, but only has 59000 likes, and then I can’t tell if it is pro Ron Paul, or Obama, looks like both judging by the pics and comments. Its nice to know that Paul and Obama are working together. Oh wait, there is a poll, and it looks like Paul is winning by a hair. Damn, we didn’t used to link to democratic sites before, how cool that it’s allowed now, makes it much easier for disrupters.
OK, now you're just drunk.
Amen brother!!!!
When it comes to you, PNSN, I'll always suggest drugs! You need them...
