Remember Texas and N. Carolina Is The Model For How The US Will Be Run

And it is not just about abortion. It is about everything. 30 years ago a Texas preacher told Bill Moyers on PBS that Texas would be the spear to turn the US into a Christian nation run on biblical principles. Ralph Red just said that the evangelicals will NOT follow the law if SCOTUS overturns DOMA.

What we are seeing is only the beginning in the assault on Democracy. The GOP says it will rule even if it loses elections. And if they don't like elections they will fix them to suit their purposes.

the Congressional delegation was about evenly split, while the Legislature and Governor had been reliably Dem for a while

The 2010 loss allowed the Rs to control redistricting, leading to a 2012 disaster

It's called the Red State strategy . You'll see the same ALEC initiatives passed in all the states.

with the ignorant sheeple bleating and following right along. Hate Obama! Snowden is a hero! No difference between democrats and repukes! If 2014 is as bad as I think it's going to be, we're moving to Canada.
