Reply #88: This is part of why I have some hope for the future

And why I think the R's are moving so hard and fast right now to cement their agenda.

the under 30's are not, in my experience, as prone to this thinking. They saw the 80s and the results in the '00's They see their parents losing everything by playing that game.

And if the R's kept waiting until they become a significant voting force, as the boomers and elders start to drop in numbers, and minorities who have never had the luxury of looking at the world this way increase in numbers, The republican vote numbers were going to shrink to the proportions of the Ron Paul vote numbers. So they are moving right now to consolidate power, hoping to hold onto it during the coming firestorm.
