President Harry S Truman simply and clearly stated.........

“Given the choice between a Republican and someone who acts like a Republican, people will vote for the real Republican all the time”

No more white Southern Democrats in Congress

CAPITOL HILL (CNN) —The red wave that swept Republicans into control of the Senate led to the defeat of the last white House Democrat in the deep South on Tuesday.

Georgia Rep. John Barrow, a pro-gun, fiscally conservative Democrat, who was running for his sixth term, lost to Republican businessman Rick Allen.

University of Georgia Political Science Professor Charles Bullock told CNN on Tuesday that thirty years ago virtually all districts in Congress from the deep south were represented by white Democrats, but with Barrow's loss "they've become extinct."

=============================
Harry has told us how to win....

Too many choose to ignore his sage advice.

If we want Congress back we need to run and support liberal and progressive candidates, give the people a REAL choice not a faux choice.
