Like I’ve been saying in many a post, the 2013 election means ALMOST nothing. it’s the long game that worries me. That’s why it is so important, now, to rebuff the GOPe.

Over time we will die out and not be a force of any kind in a Party that will be in permanent minority status. This is the first time in our History we have had this titanic of a demographic and cultural shift. And the shift does not favor Conservatism so Conservatism better find a voice and soon.

Imho, the word “Hispanic” is almost meaningless.

Tell ya what. You just keep on saying it’s “leftest lies”. That’s like standing in the rain, naked, and saying you aren’t wet.

SO many States trending, and voting reliably, blue that never did. Polls on policy are showing a Left moving populace. Gay “marriage”. The ONLY reason we are hanging on one iota is because of some 5-4 decisions by SCOTUS that will not last a generation.

Everything in America is racing Left but yeah ... it’s one big lie. It’s why the GOP STILL may not take the Senate when it should be a slam dunk.

Kids are always more libtard.

Only places in Dixie gone purple is where Yankees in abundance have moved in

Florida
Atlanta Metro
Nashville city
Austin city
North Carolina academia triangle

Nowhere in the US comes close to as much a percentage of socially conservative whites as here not even vaunted Idaho or Utah

The South has always leaned right on culture regardless the party

We do get GOP outsiders here but often they are wobbly on culture

South still has highest regular attendance church folk....sadly tropafricans vote victim hood rather than scripture

You would think that the liberals would put some of their “thinking” to the curb like the junky stuff being thrown out before moving to the south and not putting into practice that old beloved saying “when in Rome, do as the Romans do”.

“Kids are always more libtard.”

Wait until those same “kids” get out into the “real world” and let’s just say it begins to BITT you HARD.

I still say that the GOP will take the Senate. October “surprise” came in the form of the ebola virus and that “open borders” stuff is going to be factored in.

When the GOP-e keep offering up candidates that support abortion and sodomite 'marriage' (see: Scott Brown, 'Republican', Red Hampshire), many Christians ignore them on Election Day.

Pagans flooding in to the south from the northeast and California don't help, either...
