conservatives don't like voting for fake republicans when they can have the real thing

It's almost like places that are 65% republican are going to vote republican. Sure make blue states left as hell, but what's the point of getting mad that democrats did what it took to win in noted bastions of liberalism Georgia and West Virginia.

people in dixie will happily support any economic program you want

you just have to be willing to ditch the cra / tolerate de facto and / or de jure racial discrimination

cultural conservatism (getting to do other types of discrimination as well) also helps

Because they aren't winning. You can't build a base with slightly-less-right candidates. The Blue Dogs were the first to go in 2010. You have to provide people with a real alternative. Get your base excited, then you have a place to try and persuade others from. This is why the Republicans have gained in the last 6 years. Not because there are more conservatives, but because conservatives will always vote for them.

That was a cool article, went well with my milk. Also there was another cool article linked in the side bar:

Why It Pays to Be a Jerk
New research confirms what they say about nice guys.


James honed a definition that he finally published in his 2012 book, Assholes: A Theory. Formally stated, “The rear end in a top hat (1) allows himself to enjoy special advantages and does so systematically; (2) does this out of an entrenched sense of entitlement; and (3) is immunized by his sense of entitlement against the complaints of other people.”

So, active duty posters, do you hope you are sent to invade North Korea, Iran, or become yet another body to confuse the horror situation in Syria?

In case it isn't obvious, "none of the above" isn't an option, though with Trump it cannot be ruled out that we invade Panama or some poo poo
