Why do you think so many BLUE Southerns voted RED?

Question

That should have been your first clue something was AMISS.

Would it surprise you to learn that Bush's Republican Administration has pitched and sold the OLD Southern Democratic Political View?

"Made In Texas - George W. Bush and The Southern Takeover of American Politics" by Michael Lind.

I'm a Split Party Ticket Voter so my intent is Not to bash. I'd just like us all to look a little closer before we make our next Big Decision.

Old Southern Conservative Democratics stood for:
cheap labor
low-tax tradition of Southern Farmers, ranchers and oil men
Fundamentalist Beliefs intertwined w/Govt
Militarism

Sound Familiar?

Answer 1

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” -A. Einstein

Answer 2

Thats the problem. Anyone who takes a good look at the Democratic party today, knows that it has left those old values behind. They are now the party of Abortion, gay marriage, gay rights and are anti-gun. They always raise taxes. Now the Republicans are the party of moral values, lower taxes for working families, such as the $500 per child tax credit and the reduction of the marriage penalty, both of which the Democrats latest budget will let lapse creating the largest tax increase in history. The Republicans did not steal these platforms, the Democrats left them to waste along the road.

Answer 3

In November 2006, they came back into the fold and RED is gradually disappearing from the Political Map.

Answer 4

I don't think all of them actually did. Karl Rove is not above hiring people to hack into the the computers and rig the results. Look what happened in Ohio.

Answer 5

He's a Monkey Man. =)
