    Quite a comprehensive analysis and interesting. The only subtitle that was rather understated was this one:
    "Today’s GOP: Smaller, Slightly More Conservative"

    I guess it would only be slightly more conservative if one was comparing Mussolini to Hitler. LOL!

      I agree that this was one of the more comprehensive reports I've seen on the political climate as it relates to multiple factors.

      I can easily extrapolate outcomes from the information and percentages offered in this report and I think it confirms some of the speculation presented here on Propeller.

      I can also see the correlations in this report as I moved from a conservative republican to an independent during the first Perot presidential run.

      My only complaint is in the small sampling used to make these statistical determinations. Of course, because these polls are constantly collected, it lends more credence to these findings.

      Obviously, the psychology of America is changing. The changes in demographic information bear this out. The empirical observations of comments on Propeller bear this out!

        It's not even as conservative as Hubert Humphrey, Adali Stevenson, Scoop Jackson, Sam Nunn, Lyndon Johnson ...

          Now that is a real crock. My Grandfather was good friends with Humphrey and helped him get elected mayor of Minneapolis. Stevenson was liberal and Humphrey was a liberal to centrist democrat. Do you make this nonsense up as you go along?

            Spadecaller,

            simonsez ONLY makes up nonsense as he goes along! I've only seen intelligent comments at about a 1:100 ratio. Of course, the intelligent posts were on stories other than politics, the economy, global warming, war, or anything harder than whether you like a certain food.

              I guess simonsez thinks everyone is a stupid fool.

                Anyway, they were all capitalists.

                  To put it more directly, you are completely ignorant about what you are passing off as fact.
