Does Republican and Democratic Individual Ideology matter Regionally?

Question

For example, Republicans and Democrats in New York (More Socially Liberal) vs. Republicans and Democrats in Kenutcky (More Socially Conservative)

It seems nobody is the same, so I can't assume all Republicans are religious, conservative, etc because I know many Republicans are pro-choice, pro- gay rights, and so on.

Answer 1

It is definitely regional. I have worked with the Republican Party over my years in several states. New Jersey for example (worked with the party there for a number of years) tends to be much more liberal on social issues (and economic issues as well for that matter) than the Republicans of my current state (Texas). Republicans I worked with in Wyoming and Colorado, while very conservative, had quite a streak of libertarianism to them as well.

Democrats tend to be slightly more consistent throughout the nation than do Republicans. However quite a few Southern Democrats are also fairly socially conservative (especially here in Texas as opposed to other places I have lived).

Answer 2

American Party ideology has been subsumed to a global ideology. Here's what's going on.

Americans made the mistake of allowing Bush and Cheney to take office and allowing the Bush administration to wreck the US economy. Bush has betrayed the distracted and unaware American people. China is attempting to crash the dollar. On 21 August, Bush will sign away the sovereignity of the United States with the second phase of the globalisation of the Americas called the NAU--North America Union. Fourteen state legislatures are trying to stop this. This week we may face the worse financial crisis in our history, equalled onlyy by the dpression in the 1930's. Americans need to wake up. They're not ignorant, they're confused and don't want to face their situation. Something has to be done. Here is what some are saying:

The destruction of the United States may continue if the financial markets teeter or crash next week. I believe that the plan is to weaken the United States until the American people capitulate and allow the globalists to do what they want, which is:

the destruction of the U.S. Constitution
disarming the average citizen
collapse of the US economy
collapse of the US borders
collapse of American confidence
the electorate confused with propaganda and slanted media
destruction of the American middle class

Unfortunately, there are fears out there that our economy could tank next week. The Fed had to prop-up the stock market three times Friday with billions of dollars. Monday could be a bear.

Fed Orders 2 Trillion Dollars Printed, Put In Circulation
Three separate sources in the U.S. Treasury have told me that this week, the federal reserve ordered TWO TRILLION dollars to be printed! The U.S. Treasury is allegedly running printing presses 24/7 to accommodate that order. Treasury employees were specifically ORDERED not to talk about this to anyone because it could cause economic collapse.

Central banks on both sides of the Atlantic pumped billions into the financial system to calm nerves over an impending credit crunch yesterday - but their actions only served to heighten alarm, leading to a fresh plunge in global share prices.

The fading dollar can be held responsible for our troubles. It isn't the dollar's fault, because it is merely a piece of paper, which is un-backed, and the product of a printing press. It is those who administer and spend it recklessly, who have caused its demise, and who are wrecking our economy and nation. What repercussions does a dollar debasement have? Remember, it is in no way the fault of the citizenry. It is totally the fault of government and the D.C. Gang. All of us are merely the victims. Thank you, Mr. Bush.

Every passing day, this new world order, this so called "free trade", is eroding 150 years of the hard won gains for American small business and employees, but very few people seem to care. How effective the propaganda has been. Americans don't know who they are anymore.

What do American citizens do next? Give-up or fight?

Answer 3

I think it does, and I moved around the country a lot when I was in my 20's and 30's. Right now I'm in Northwest Indiana, where the Democrats are union workers but are still pretty moderate Democrats. The Republicans don't seem as stuffy here either, say as they can be in Colorado for instance. It's definitely a regional thing.

Answer 4

It matters very much regionally. Some states are conceded well before the election. That's why a candidate won't visit that paticullar state that often. However in my state, Ohio, its very split. The northern part of the state votes democrat while the southern half, republican. that's why the candidates from both parties visit and campaign in this stae quite a bit. California, Texas, New York etc... that's a lot of electoral college votes and that's why the candidates spend a lot of time there.
