So everyone should try to attract you.

Keep dreamin'!  As much as the "I am fiscally conservative but don't care about social issues!" thing gets made fun of, those folks (and the social conservatives who'd pick fiscal issues at the end of the day) far outnumber so-called economic populists in the GOP.  Until poor minorities (or in older times poor immigrants like the Irish) aren't loyal to the Dems, they're not fully abandoning fiscal populism (which they defiantly moved back toward this election), and that has never been the case in the party's history ... I don't see it changing.  Similarly, as long as a significant chunk of wealthy Whites and the business community are in the GOP's camp, they're not going to abandon running on fewer taxes and less regulation ... Don't see that changing either.

Let me be clear since some are new here: this is a parody post of this forum from years past.

LOL, okay, sorry!

And have you decided that your views would hold more weight/make your right more worth while in the Democratic Party (avatar switch)?
