You often post "generational issues"... It's more than that.
The GOP is now the "Old White Men" Party. Women, the young, people of color are excluded from today's GOP. Unless that changes, the trend will continue.
you just posted 'the generation'....you're on a role...keep going |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

Romney Did Win One thing... We still don't know if he has paid ANY income taxes
and I'm sure you didn't pay your fair share because you used all those nice loopholes for yourself... you own a business? tell me what portion of YOUR income is fair.... is your business a person in your home? |

You do a very good job of recycling ThinkProgress graphs, cartoons and lame opinion articles. You first must have an original phrase to be guilty of recycling it. You are king at recycling somebody else's stale opinions. |

Box, those are Confederate States not the "slave states". Lincoln said he had no intention of ending slavery, but he vowed to not allow secession. I understand that your lack of understanding of the Civil War leads you to believe it was fought over slavery. It was fought over states rights to leave the Union.
That map you posted is a very good rhetorical tool since most ignorant government educated people believe as you that the Civil War was about slavery. Just another clever way to paint people a racist by repeating the lie. |

Blah Blah Blah, Yadda Yadda Yadda. Yet another straw man from Cicero. He raves, he rants, but rarely does he make sense. The map is labeled "SLAVE STATES". It represents the States that permitted slavery at the time of the civil war. Is the map in error??? From the two maps posted, you go off on a tangent ... "The civil war was about slavery"Then "Repeating the Lie". If it's a LIE Cicero, it's YOUR LIE, since those are your words not mine. Really Cic... get a grip! |

Your map was in error because in 1789(before the civil war) New York was a "slave state". You once again cherry pick you facts from 150 years ago to fit your agenda. Coincidence?
it's your typical devicive rhetoric attempting to divide the country along racial line. I shouldn't expect anything less from a liberal ignorant democrat. |

~ The map is clearly labeled "Civil War Map 1846". What part of that map is in error??? ~What FACTS did I "cherry pick, to fit my agenda"? My only input was: "Election Results/Slave States Coincidence???" |

You cherry picked a date and time in history to fit your agenda. I can cherry pick a map from 1770 and show that in ALL THE STATES SLAVERY WAS LEGAL. What does that mean? What conclusion do I draw from that?
The coincidence of southern states voting republican has little to do with legal slavery and more to do with state independence. Southern states believe in states’ rights and a weak federal government. But that FACT isn't as dramatic and divisive as insinuating that the coincidence is because they are former "slave states" from 150 years ago.

All American states believe in "states rights". Southern States (in the map) believed in states rights and slavery... and voting for today's Republicans. |

I want whatever they're eating because they must be over 170 years old if they are still voting. |

All American states believe in "states rights".
We will find out if that's true. We'll see if the federal government crushes the states rights to nullify federal drug laws(as in Colorado and Washington) or the nullification of federal food safety laws and Obamacare laws(as in Montana, Wyoming, Alabama). I'm sure you support states rights to nullify and not participate in Obamacare. |

At the time of the Civil war, much of the South voted DEMOCRAT. Today, most southern states vote for Republicans. The South started changing parties from Democrat to Republican... When... When was it??? Oh Yea. At the time of the Civil Rights acts of '64 & '68 that gave equal rights to Blacks and Minorities...HUH! Another "coincidence!" |

Not a "coincidence" for the reason YOU believe. The Federal Government passed the Civil Rights Act which FORCED people to use their private property in a manner that the federal government outlined. It was more FORCE and intrusion of the federal government. It was an assault on private property rights. Again, you looooove to make it a race issue where there isn't one, when it was always a private property rights issue. |
