Yes, I can see John Edwards winning the entire eastern half of the country.

I want to make prostitution, drug use, and gambling legal. I want to end the anti- smoking legislation and the FCC.

That makes me a supporter of theocracy?

Anyway, you can call them false Democrats, but they could call you a false Democrat as well.

Yea, this is true.  But many of the southern democrats are extremely close to republicans on almost every issue.  That's the point they are trying to get at.  But they can call themselves Democrats all they want.  I just don't want to hear it anymore about how the party has betrayed them from the Zell Miller types.  Socially, the two parties have switched, and if they don't like it, by all means, leave.

No, because Democrats can't win the rural west.

But of course Democrats can win pretty big, Clinton did in '96.

The rural west is libertarian.  The democrats are moving towards social libertarianism, so if we ever get into another 1992-type election where decisive social issues are the focus of the campaign, a democrat could probably win the entire west minus Idaho and Utah.

The DEMOCRATS moving towards social libertarianism?! These people are trying to ban cigarettes and firearms!

2nd hand-smoke hurts people, and I didn't say they were social libertarians, but they are moving somewhat in that direction.
