Social conservatives are always a dying breed. History proves nothing less.
Social conservatives are like a disease, ethnic, and cultural diversity is the vaccine.

Fuck the "big tent." What good is a party if it stands for nothing?

I don't care for social conservatism much myself, but the cultural diversity nuts sicken me just the same and are as much of a pariah in this country as the social conservatives.

Re: NJ and Virginia Republican wins

The recent Republican victory of the governor's race in both New Jersey and Virginia is a bad foreboding for the Democrats.

Especially ominous for the Democrats is the fact that extreme left-wing New Jersey turned Republican.

The Democrats should be scared - very scared!

Re: NJ and Virginia Republican wins

These two races don't really mean anything as I see it for three reasons...

1) From what I've read, the Dems in both races were terrible candidates.

2) In Gubernatorial races I don't think "national" issues are all that important. These races were about how the individuals were going to handle that state's particular issues.

3) I have a cold and I swear I had a third reason, but I seem to have forgotten it.
