OT, I predict that the name Jerrod and variants will become unpopular. We have had Jared Lee Loughner of the Gabby Giffords shooting, Jared Lee Padgett, the Oregon high school shooter, Jerad Miller, the Las Vegas shooter, and Jerrod Metsker, convicted of rape and murder in Ohio.
Jefferson, Yes, but if Lindsey Graham had been in a two-way House primary race with an educated, articulate opponent, the outcome likely would have different. I used to live in South Carolina. Lindsey is liked but not loved and respected like Strom and Fritz.

I doubt that would even matter. Southern states are dominated by the wealthy country club republicans who control the political machines and dispensationalist evangelical Christians, and the Establishment candidates give both of these main factions the rhetoric they desire (Pro-Chamber of Commerce, Pro-Free Trade, Pro-Israel, Pro-Life). Tea Party candidates more in line with their views on individual issues have a hard time breaking through in primaries. That's why horrible voting records don't seem to hurt the Southern GOP.
Actually, most Tea Party are free trade, only a small group are not they are libertarian except immigration and very evangelical usually support a pro-military foreign policy, only a small group are not. If you want more information on the Tea Party visited 24 ahead who is one of the few liberals against illegal immigration and why he disliked Tea Party Candidate Donnelly in California. In fact Rick Perry of Texas is a Tea Party Republican and very pro free trade and pro-Israel.
Interesting to looked at another liberal measure which might be more accurate than the supplemental income poverty. The supplemental penalized places like Orange and San Diego since most of their poor minorities are Mexican and not black and the Supplemental will say more poverty if lower welfare and food stamp usage than a black area in Louisiana or even Houston Texas which has both blacks and Hispanics its just not housing costs. On the food insecurity OC and Sd do better than their state averages for their high minority population but their is a big gap with the overall food insecurity of over 12 percent for Orange County and 21 percent for kids since the parents of the kids are more likely to be Mexican. Conservatives might take this into consideration instead of just the cost of living that places with less Hispanics and Blacks even in liberal states do better than places with more minorities even in a red state.
I think the problem is the right wants business to charged any wage. What about going along with a 10 per hour minimum wage and offer a tax credit if fast food and retail hire the long term unemployed, out of work over a year. This means more native born will worked at the job since more native born are out of work longer with some exceptions.
Is it too much to ask that we can start rolling back the Jewish influence in general?
ReplyDeleteBut Lindsey Graham still won even though he is pro-3rd world cheap labor.
ReplyDeleteSo today we had our cake but we can not eat it too.
will Brat win the November election? I assume so, but .............gotta wonder will this affect Red State Dems
ReplyDeleteSeems to me like this is making immigration 'reform' a 3rd rail.
ReplyDeleteAl Gore's loss in Tennessee in 2000 took gun control off the table for Dems.
Any reason that we can't just require Passports for people crossing into the United States from ANY border?
Get the TSA to help out if we need more people to enforce it.
I don't trust Canadians either.
Steve, can I just stop reading this site and bookmark the new one?
