You are a younger fella, Dan -

Time was when there were some VERY conservative democrats.
I have not seen one in some years, but they really did exist at one time.
The area I now live in is actually a victom of that change.
This area is conservative, VERY pro-gun, etc.
And they stem from a time when the Southern Democrats were conservative.

The Democrats have lost their conservatism, but the people here remain Democrat, and vote straight DEM tickets because their family always has done so.

Einstein said the definition of insanity was doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
He could use my county as a case in point.
