Democrats have reason to be confident — all they have to do is look at the attitude of the diverse American public, the public education system and they see an ocean of potential RAT voters.

“The crux of the matter is whether people will vote cultural or economic issues.”

The people think first of their pocketbook. Cultural issues are somewhat far behind, unless you are fairly well off and can indulge in being culturally Holier than thou.

If you’d gotten away with all the immoral, unAmerican, abnormal, illegal things the left has since the 50’s, and in the position they are today. you’d be confident as all hell.

Why are Dems so confidence? With ‘Republicans’ like John, Lindsey and Thad, it doesn’t make ANY difference.

Actually the Republicans in 2012 could have run a winning campaign on the “end Obamacare” theme but since they nominated the architect of Obamacare as their standard bearer they had no credibility on healthcare.

I'm not sure Obamacare would have mattered, either way. While the public was angry about it, they'd mostly taken their anger out in the 2010 election. AND they hadn't experienced it first hand yet (as they have now, and will continue to do so)

“Demography is destiny.”

You need only look at Europe to see where we are headed. The power of the tribe will be all that matters when the % of the population is in their favor. And with the Hispanics over here, and the muslims over there, it is only a matter of time.

And time is on their side, not ours. We have birth controlled and immigrated our chance out of continuing what was once the American Dream. We have no cultural identity as Americans anymore. It is African American, or Mexican American, or God-knows- what-American. Tribal identity over nationality.

We cannot survive as a nation with that going on.

Prepare accordingly.

“It is African American, or Mexican American, or God-knows- what-American. Tribal identity over nationality.”

Unfortunately, that is so “yesterday”. In my area, people don’t hyphenate anymore; they are simply “Ecuadoran”, “Peruvian”, “Indian”...

“If you’d gotten away with all the immoral, unAmerican, abnormal, illegal things the left has since the 50’s, and in the position they are today. you’d be confident as all hell.”

I was ripped apart by a FReeper for pointing out that we had lost the culture war; with few exceptions (gun control being the only one he could point out), we have lost on everything: abortion/euthanasia, “gay marriage”/family values, taxation/socialized medicine, affirmative action, illegal immigration/amnesty, public education, etc.

The left wins every issue by proposing something outlandish, then “settling” for what they sought to begin with (as a “compromise”). The Republocrats are one party with two heads; traditional Americans have steadily lost ground, and should accept that they will never be part of the mainstream “culture”.

It isn’t all doom & gloom, but as it has been since the dawn of time it is always easier for most people to do evil.
