“Politically, Conservatives are probably dead already.”
Then explain how Republicans now control 26 states, while the rats only control 11. In a number of states, not a single rat holds state-wide office. In the mid-term elections, rats were annihilated.
He said Conservative, not Republican, big difference.
If office-holding is the goal, then “conservatives” are doing fine. If enacting policy is the goal, then liberals are running up the score.
To what effect?
Re: “Then explain how Republicans now control 26 states...”
Please note, I said “Conservatives,” not “Republicans.”
To my eye, “Republicans” have corrupted state government almost as thoroughly as they have corrupted Washington D.C.
Examples - Texas, where the Speaker of the House is a RINO despised by many Freepers.
Washington state - where my “Republican” state senator co-sponsored our gay marriage law and just voted for a new 12 cents a gallon gas tax because the price of oil has gone down.
Re: “In the mid-term elections, rats were annihilated.”
Rats are always getting annihilated in mid-terms. From memory - 1994, 2002, 2010.
Why?
Because they can’t motivate their Black and Hispanic voters to go to the polls.
Example - New Mexico, where almost 40% of voters are Hispanic. In 2010, 61% of Hispanics voted AGAINST Susana Martinez, the Mexican-American, Republican candidate for governor, but Martinez still won because Hispanic turn out was so low. If she had run in 2008, Obama’s first term, Martinez would have lost if 61% of Hispanics had voted against her.
