You had me at "the south is beautiful..." :-)

I totally agree...and the "elephant in the room" is that liberal voters in "the south" just need to show up at the polls more and it will send a statment to the politicians who are mistaken to believe the south is all conservatives. It isn't, it's just that conservatives vote more often and in larger numbers. The power-hungry see voting as a way to get what they want---power---and the people who want better government and a society that does not exploit others are less motivated to show up and vote. They have not made the connection that, by default, they will get the opposite of what they want by not showing up.

They do not desire power, and therefore, to seek power is not in their nature. But by being passive, they allow others to dominate and prevail.
