That's assuming Republicans go along with the Democrats amnesty plan. All they have to do is say no and those states stay red.

And givin recent news, it looks like the Republicans are going to say no to citizenship to all those Democrat voters you speak of.

Maybe another decade. But not this one or the next.

Or do you not know about Vietnam and the 50,000 Americans he sent to die there for no reason whatsoever--as well as the millions of Vietnamese killed by his policies?
It`s safe to assume that you were too young or you were not yet born to know anything about Vietnam.Half of our troops died when Nixon held the presidency fyi.

Anyone who thinks either the Dems or Repubs are more evil or more golden than the other has been completely duped and deluded.

National-level politicians from both parties are bought, sold and owned by special interest groups: multinational CEOs, heads of global banks and energy concerns, lobbyists, and a handful of others. THEY are the people truly running the nation, and our elected officials work for them; not us.

They throw us a bone and make people believe they actually have a choice, or that this "choice" between two sides of the same marred-up, rusty old coin (the Dems and Repubs) even matters. Well, we don't have a choice and it doesn't matter. It's out of our hands. It's a put up job.

And unfortunately political discourse in this country has devolved to the level of hostile, beer-drunk yokels screaming about their kids' jr. high football game. It's needless and counter-productive. All this hypocritical partisan hack nonsense about whose "team" is better--us vs. them, dems vs. repubs. It's BS and a complete waste of time and energy.

No reasonable person who cares about personal liberty should ever vote for any Dem OR Repub for any national office ever.
Excellent post.

True, none the less.

A huge majority of America are conservative.

However, we are outnumbered in the huge urban recipient leftie cities.

I am all for getting rid of the electoral college.....if it were majority wins, many, many more conservatives in big cities would go to the polls. Unlike now, where a Californian or a New Yorker realize that their vote doesn't matter.

Make every vote count!

Typical right winger delusion.

You lose because your ideas are unpopular and you nominate terrible candidates who say unbelievably dumb things.

Yes, if you look county by county, you'll see a ton of red. So what? Fields and tumbleweed don't vote, people do.

You can't win elections when you're espousing minority positions and acting so crazy that no one outside of the nutter base will vote for you.
