Should we celebrate the supposed conservative "New South" when the leadership includes Lindsey Graham, Lamar Alexander, and Thad Cochran, RINOs all? Will 2014 represent the high water mark of conservatism in the South as Gettysburg did to Lee? The South's changing demographics may be the herald of a new sea of blue.

“Should we celebrate the supposed conservative “New South” when the leadership INCLUDES Lindsey Graham, Lamar Alexander,”

I guess with those standards, you can NEVER be happy. Yes, not all of the leaders will be perfect...but don’t think, for a moment, that some Third Party that people salivate over will do any better...after all, we see that much of the Tea Party leadership has now even sold out.

Apparently, it is only Southerners who realized this was the last chance to save the country and our Constitution. I dont hear you bashing anyone else.

As Mark Steyn has said: “The future belongs to those that show up for it.”

So... As the Savage Beast has said, on another thread:

All you Freepers have a patriotic duty to have as many children as possible.

Put down those computers and get back in the bedroom. Your country needs you!

You seem to be great with the negatives - what would you propose as a workable game plan to fix it?
