Top Ten Conservative American Cities

Posted on 02/10/2009 10:00:03 AM PST by jessduntno

Top Ten Conservative American Cities

10. Cincinnati, Ohio Home of GOP Rep. Steve Chabot (ACU lifetime: 98%; 2005: 96%) who won his seat by campaigning for the balanced budget amendment and against abortion.

9. Boise, Idaho Boise's 2nd District is described as "one of America’s most Republican districts" by The Almanac of American Politics.

8. Mesa, Ariz. Founded by Mormons. Republican Jeff Flake (ACU lifetime: 94%; 2005: 96%), who led the fight for Arizona's charter school law and favors eliminating the income tax and creating a national sales tax, represents Mesa’s district.

7. Clarksville, Tenn. Home of Fort Campbell (though the Post Office is in Kentucky, a majority of the base is actually in Tennessee).

6. Wichita, Kan. Has sent Republican Rep. Todd Tiahrt (ACU lifetime: 97%; 2005: 96%) to the U.S. House since the 1994 GOP revolution when he defeated longtime Democratic Rep. Dan Glickman.

5. Colorado Springs, Colo. Location of the Air Force Academy, Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base and Schriver Air Force Base.

4. Abilene, Tex. City's 19th District is represented by Republican Rep. Randy Neugebauer (ACU lifetime: 93%; 2005: 100%) who defeated longtime Democrat Rep. Charlie Stenholm.

3. Oklahoma City, Okla. Very much a pro-oil city. According to The Almanac of American Politics, "Oil rigs were pumping crude on the grounds of the then-domeless Capitol until 1989; a derrick still stands sentinel outside the governor's window."

2. Plano, Tex. Has one of the most conservative congressmen, Republican Sam Johnson (ACU lifetime: 99%; 2005: 96%), who opposes all pork, was a founder of the conservative Republican Study Committee.

1. Provo, Utah Represented by Republican Chris Cannon (ACU lifetime rating: 97%; 2005: 100%). Home of conservative Brigham Young University. Named "Most Conservative City" by non-partisan Bay Area Center for Voting Research in 2005.

Ditto that - Cincy is drowning in liberalism. A failed education system, sky high murder rate and all the other liberal consequences.

Yep, and the irony is all the caucasian liberals have either moved to West Chester, or to Northern Kentucky.

I’m surprised Fayetteville, NC (home of Fort Bragg) wasn’t included.

Boise, Idaho citizens voted to rip the 10 Commandments display out of the public park in 2006.

It was either that or allow every other religious symbol placed in the park. Our Mayor is a stinking bambi suporting dem-wit though. It is not good.

My mom was born in Snyder, but largely raised in Lubbock area. Charles Hardin “Buddy” Holl(e)y was a classmate of my mom and her elder sister at O.L. Slaton Jr. High - which was in Post Texas, not Slaton.

I myself went to Monterey Sr High School for six months during my junior year. GO Plainsmen! “Once a Plainsman, Always a Champeon!”

Both military cities with a huge veteran population.

As is Clarksville, (#7)

And also surprisingly highly intergrated city as well (b/c it's a military city) And best of all, we're represented by Marsha Blackburn, 7th District who has an 100% on American Conservative Union’s 2007 Ratings of Congress

If they included smaller cities, Rapid City, SD would have to be on the list.

# 7 Clarksville, population 113,175 ain't what ya conseider a metropolis, much to the local politicans chagrin, with their "big ideas"(expensive pork projects to attract tourists)

Maybe ya need to try harder...;-)

Any list which doesn’t include Mahalasville, Indiana, is bogus.

Lubbock should be on that list! We’re so conservative we had an erotic underwear cop and then busted the chippendale dancers for doing pelvic thrusts!

Thank you. I probably would have went off the deep-end a long time ago if it wasn’t for Rush.
