Influx of Californians, liberals from the northeast and from blue states ruin former conservatives states with their socialist left wing policies are like cockroaches, they infest the thriving state/city and leave behind a cesspool of vile and garbage behind that people have to clean up.

SimCity 5 needs to be modified greatly and be released again, current owners should get a huge discount since they already own the game (technically not).  If I want to interact with other players or meet new people, I'd rather go on a dating site or to the bar instead. Collective gaming at its best with this PC title.

So, the GOP is going back to it's old roots post Lincoln era, or become the new Democrat-lite party?

Intaking more calories than burning leads to gaining weight.  Secondly, it's probably a lack of self control.

I take back my statement from last year.  The game is an absolute failure on EA's part, with the DRM, small maps and lack of transportation features. I read on the SimCity Facebook page how many people are complaining about the game and servers getting bogged and offline for thet most part.

EA = Epic fail

So Newt "I Support Gay Marriage" Gingrich is allowed to show up? Newt "I think climate change is real and i did a PSA with Nancy Pelosi about it" Gingrich? Jesus, c'mon on conservatives, be consistent.
If Gingrich can show up, why can't SE Cupp or the GOProud and Log Cabin Republican attend?  Sounds hypocritical to me.

Combine ND and SD into Dakota.  Merge east Oregon and east Washington into a new state (Lincoln), Merge west Oregon and west Washington into a new state.  Split California into north and south.  

Move the south border of Colorado slightly south of Santa Fe New Mexico, and line up the north border of Colorado to Utah north border.  Move the north Wyoming border, line up with the north/south Dakota border.  Combine Nebraska and Kansas as one state.

I will say this, the GOP cannot afford to lose anymore states to the Democrats with their current policy stance.  They're trying hard for AZ/TX not to become a swing state Colorado, otherwise, the GOP will become a minority party (won't happen).
37  Presidential Elections - Analysis and Discussion / Presidential Election Trends / Re: Why are the Rockies swinging Dem? on: January 11, 2013, 06:05:55 pm
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona are still very Republican states, it is similar in the way your map shows parts of Massachusetts trending Republican, it is just because those places are so Democratic to begin with.

Colorado and New Mexico are different stories.
2nd, alot of transplants that move to CO are probably Democrat, and from California and the east coast.

Liberals like expensive ski towns, and the mountains. Republicans and mostly flat landers.

It might with the far right wing of the GOP, otherwise most people will forget about it and it won't harm his chances.
40  Presidential Elections - Analysis and Discussion / 2016 U.S. Presidential Election / Re: How can the GOP stop the "lost cause" trends in states? on: December 22, 2012, 01:25:42 am
To an extent, the GOP may have to just brace themselves and wait. Suddenly turning left on immigration probably isn't going to help that much (not that turning left on immigration isn't the right thing to do). Newly immigrated Hispanic-American voters are eventually going to become integrated in American society (perhaps to the point where we won't call them minorities anymore), as well as economically affluent. Once that happens, the GOP will begin to make inroads. As a parallel, just think about how Eastern European immigrants who supported FDR ended up supporting Nixon and Reagan in the 1960s and 1980s.

To the extent that the GOP can do something about the "lost cause," part of the solution would be to stop running bad candidates. We also need reach out to these groups that are supposedly making these states "a lost cause," showing them how and why conservatism is in their best interests (i realize that's a broad statement though).
That's if they want to assimilate with the US. When the 2nd generation or 3rd generation of foreigners speak their native language in public, then it becomes a problem. Secondly, nobody wants a one party ran country, the Democrats won't be in control forever even if the GOP is a lost cause for the next 20 years.

See, you are completely and utterly clueless. You probably don't know any Hispanics, do you? My roommate in college, who is of Mexican descent, couldn't speak spanish well at all. At the same time, I bet his grandparents who were the first to move to this country, probably didn't speak english well when they first got here. Speaking your mother tongue does not mean one does not want to assimilate. The Irish, Italians, Polish etc etc etc who moved here back in the day also didn't speak english with each other. As long as you Republicans remain this utterly clueless, you will never win Hispanics OR Asians. You know, the group that makes the most money in this country. You will lose them by landslide margins because your party is full of clueless or just straight up racist individuals.
I'm actually half-asian myself, and my mom is pure.  She doesn't go off rambling in her native tongue in public and tries to speak English when talking with friends in the same culture. She wasn't even born in the US, but is doing fine now adapting here.  No way am I clueless bud, you're being a jerk.

I figured, since there was one done with Romney states, I'll do one with Obama states.

Consider the GOP reverses it's trends with Hispanics, women and the youth.  They modernize, become socially moderate and more Libertarian.

I voted Georgia since it's the Obama's highest % Romney state.

48  Presidential Elections - Analysis and Discussion / 2016 U.S. Presidential Election / Re: Brian Schweitzer 2016 on: December 05, 2012, 06:45:11 pm
I'm not sure America is ready for Schweitzer. Sure they voted for an African-American, and appeared open to  Mormon-American. We have had a Catholic-American and after Hillary and Palin, Americans are open to a Woman-American. And the 2008 electorate seems to have opened up the possibility of a Latino-American.

But I still don't think voters are open to a Bolo-American...


Does the SOI ring a bell?
