Psalm 144: "The Voodoo Republicans of the Northeast never have, or do not care."

I don't know any of those "Voodoo Republicans" you mention, though it is certainly true that in heavily blue-dominated states, the only way Republicans ever get elected is by appearing more purple than red, so to speak.

Again, I think the issue being addressed here is more the appearance of "whiteness" at the convention than any dispute over Conservative principles.

[Psalm 144]

It is my term for the type of old guard Rockefeller Republicans. An homage to George Herbert Walker Bush and his sneering insult to Reagan’s economic policies.
