tbf, the conservative coalition had controlled the House more often than not since the 1938 midterms.

Not from 1958-1980.

From 1938-1958 yes but not after that until 1980. I believe many Southern Dems in the Nixon era supported economically leftist policies or "populist " policies but many of them retired in the late 70s and were replaced by democrats who were more right-leaning economically or were defeated in the 80 wave and replaced by rigth wing republicans.

Re: Reaction to Reagan winning the election « on: November 5, 1980 at 4:32:17 pm » I went going into the night excpecting Reagan to win by 6-7 points and around 380-390 EV a prediction which got me mocked by so many red avatars and it turns out they were right to mock me because I was very wrong as Reagan won by nearly 10 points and won 489 EV. I was flipping back and forth between NBC's coverage which I felt was pretty good , ABC's to see George Will's great commentary though both channels using different color schemes was puzzling. What makes this election even better is Republicans have taken over the senate knocking down long time Dem incumbents who everyone thought was safe such as Herman Talmadge and took down so many liberal sentors such as McGovern, Bayh, Church, Culver , Javits and replacing them all with Conservative Republicans which will make Reagan's agenda much easier to enact and I cant wait for long time conservative goals on taxes, and regulations to finally go into affect.

Re: Why are Virginia and West Virginia Trending in opposite Directions « on: November 9, 1988 at 3:56:17 pm » Its pretty simple , Virginia is filled with greed racist hicks especially in the Suburban Counties who like the rest of the suburbs in the south have turned the Suburbs Titanium Republican because of the fact that they are voters who vote mainly on racial issues. West Virginia and Appalachia as a whole, on the other hand, are filled with people who dont care about dumb cultural issues and actually vote to their best interests and dont vote on racial dog whistles like people in  Virginia do.

Re: Black People Are Coming to the Cities « on: July 18, 1969 at 07:50:15 am » The Black People are coming to the cities, they are hoarding the cities and ruining them, and they are bringing crime! I'm moving to Morristown, New Jersey where we can live away from the blacks. We should ban drugs and guns for black people to stop the crime and we should have a war on drugs. [signature: VOTE SUBURBAN FOR COUNCILOR]

What the h*ck is this! Let’s be very clear I don’t believe that African American people bring crime to suburbs and I’d welcome a diversification of suburbs, just look at how much better places like Orange County than flyover country in Appalachia. Also let’s be very clear a lot of the types of shootings that I’m worried about (such as school shootings) are not done by people of the African American race. Lastly, African Americans are not the primary users of drugs, the only reason they were targeted during the War on Drugs was because of the systemic racism present in predominantly white police departments. This is why we need mandatory racial bias training for all officers and those who fail the training must be terminated immediately without compensation. But sure go on about how I’m some closeted racist, when in fact, I’m a minority and like other minorities, I have not been a beneficiary of our “white-privilege” dominated society.

How is Orange County "much better" than Appalachia? It's one of the historically most right-wing and racist places outside of the South and is full of rich people. Let's dispel with this fiction of a dichotomy of "tolerant, socially liberal" suburbanites and "racist hicks." We should never forget that the good people of West Virginia broke away from their wealthy masters in Richmond to stay loyal to the Union.

West Virginia also trended Democratic from 1960-1988 while the entire south trended massively Republican

Lmao If Ford wants Southern support, he needs to pick Reagan for VP and let him run for president in 1976. He was a co-runnerup in 1968 with Rockefeller , whom is too liberal for the party now. Days of the Dewey East Coast Establishment are over. Stagflation is proof liberals were wrong about economic policies. Reagan has reformed CA and created a national model to follow.

It's pathetic, almost like these workers are slaves, which is unconstitutional. Congress needs to pass a new amendment to allow the NRA to become permanent. The Republicans have always been about big business and special interests, ever since they called themselves "Whigs". Jefferson was right. These Republicans love federal power, as long as it benefits banks and business, which is the only thing they stand for, seeing how they screwed over this country and left people to starve. As soon as the people elected a President for the people since most Americans can see through their deceptive corruption, these Republicans had the audacity to stop what could've been one of the greatest pieces of legislation ever passed in this Republic. Shame! We need a functioning government, not a government that only caters to the 1%.

Governor McKinley is someone who I know will help us recover from this terrible recession, and will help make our nation viewed at the same level with the British when it comes to world powers. On a side Note,  the fact that McKinley got nearly 47% of the vote in a Southern State like mine shows that maybe I dont have to remain a Democrat to have any influence in the electoral process and I can one day register with the Republicans given other than Cleveland I would support them in all the elections since they became a party.

WJB was a true hero for the working class and I hope he is our nominee as next time after people see how badly an open elitist and imperialist President-Elect McKinley is , I am sure they will elect Bryan as our next President. While I am not gonna register as a Democrat currently , I will if they continue down the path Bryan created from them and I hope they do not return to Gold Democrat types just so they can try to get people like THG to vote for them when we all know he is a Republican at heart. It is time we instead try to expand our coalition so we can bring in Industrial Workers from the Midwest who vote Republican and if it means losing states like VA/NC forever so be it. THG is someone who I view as a buddy on here but that does not mean he isnt a Republican at heart and we rather should try to get the voters of people like SN instead.

Yes, but their values were generally less agrarian and socially conservative. I put ER as a Southern Democrat because they liked strong moral values, and since ER is southern I figured he'd fit in better. All the WASPs in Massachusetts would laugh at his opinions.

ER is not an agrarian , he’s a suburban sunbelt social conservative that really didn’t exist in those days at all and I believe his family moved from the north to the south at some point . Like I highly doubt ER would be a southerner in the 1890s but even even McKinley got 46% in that state and WJB underperformed in much of the south .


Lastly Massachusetts if today isn’t anywhere near the same as the Massachusetts of the 1890s which was extremely socially conservative. Also no the WASP would not laugh at him at all cause they pretty much were the equalivent  of evangelicals today and not the WASPs of today . You need to really read the Yankee threads where he basically points out the fallacy of using todays perception of states to describe how they were ideologically back then .

Who do you plan to vote for/Who will win   « on: May 1 1992, 2:09:08 pm » I plan to vote for Ross Perot for President and am enthusiastically in support for him. Finally we have a candidate who is serious about taking on the challenges we face such as our national debt, unfair trade deals and is honest about his solutions to them as yes there is no way we can balance the budget without spending being cut and our taxes being raised but I like his honesty here and thats what we need in a President. I truly hope he wins but the electoral college system might ruin his chances as I don't think he can get to 270 even if he wins the popular vote and I dont think a Democratic Congress would choose him even in this case. Well I hope he brings up electoral reform as part of his platform to make it easier to third party candidates/independents in general to win. As for Clinton and Bush , I don’t like them for different reasons . Bush is an honorable man but he is way to establishment and globalist to deal with the problems we face today and Clinton is an outsider but he is not an honorable man. If I had to choose who is the lesser of two evil it would be Clinton as we do need change given Republicans have controlled the White House for 20 of the last 24 years.

On the other hand down ballot I hope Tom Delay loses as he is disgusting and Texas Democrats in general are pretty good as I voted for both Lloyd Bentsen in his Senatorial Run last time and have voted for Mark White and Ann Richards For Governor .

Who do you plan to vote for/Who will win « on: May 1 1992, 3:27:17 pm  » I can't vote since I am a citizen of Germany but I would support Bill Clinton. While I am grateful for President's Bush foreign policy accomplishments and generally have preferred Republicans over Democrats on foreign policy over the past decade, with the cold war over, I believe domestic issues are more important and in this area I solidly support the Democrats. The fact is after 12 years after pro Wall Street and Pro Businesses economic policies we need to bring government back in to at least reign in their power and also help people out in hard times. It actually is a foreign policy issue as well, because when Reagan won in 1980 it caused pretty much the entire western world to move away from the post war economic consensus and adopt some version of Reaganism or Thatcherism . While Bill Clinton may not be very liberal I believe he would at least bring government back in some people's lives and can cause some sort of reversion of the past decade across the western world. As for who will win, it is hard to say but I will say that I very doubt that Perot will get anywhere near 30% in the polls. Imo after the conventions and during the fall campaign he will drop off in a big way as voters realize the only two people who can be President are George Bush and Bill Clinton so I dont think he will win. As for who I think will win, I will say George Bush is probably favored as the GOP's advantages in the electoral college probably seem like they will persist for at least another 4 years.

If people are frustrated with how things are going domestically than maybe its time we elect a Republican Congress who will pass George Bush's agenda rather than vote for someone who can't even be trusted to keep his own marriage vows and someone who just cannot win.

First of all there is no evidence what so ever that he had an affair with Gennifer Flowers and second I don't see how thats a worse crime than Iran-Conta where there is a lot of evidence President Bush played a large part in. Second all this negative coverage of him is once again nothing but an example of how biased the tv media has become in the past 12 years since Saint Ronnie became President and its a disgrace. They let Reagan and Bush get away with Iran-Contra , let them lie about their economic policies because at the end of the day they also love the same pro Wall Street and Pro Wealthy Policies in General. So yes I am gonna vote for Bill Clinton and so will my home state of Kentucky. Will he win, I am not sure but he has a way better chance than any dem has in a long time. He unlike the rest of the Dems cannot be painted as weak on crime and pro tax and spend cause he is not and he is actually in touch with the common man unlike George Bush. What I cannot wait to see though is the reaction of pretty much all the Blue Avatars when the Republicans lose given how much they have gloated on here for years and years on end of how they will never lose.

Probably I would have written something similar to that, though I may have predicted a Democratic victory since Clinton was a Southerner. In the primaries, would have backed Brown after initially hoping for a Mario Cuomo candidacy. Good job!
