    US continues move to the left; Repugs don't get it

    GOP Losses Span Nearly All Demographic Groups
    http://www.gallup.com/poll/118528/GOP-Losses-Span-Nearly-Demographic-Groups.aspx
    Nearly all major subgroups show decreased Republican Party affiliation compared to earlier this decade, including a 10-point drop among college graduates (from 47% to 37%). Only among some of its core constituencies has the GOP managed to largely maintain its support.




    PRINCETON, NJ -- The decline in Republican Party affiliation among Americans in recent years is well documented, but a Gallup analysis now shows that this movement away from the GOP has occurred among nearly every major demographic subgroup. Since the first year of George W. Bush's presidency in 2001, the Republican Party has maintained its support only among frequent churchgoers, with conservatives and senior citizens showing minimal decline.
    Even some of the old stand-bys are leaving them. Soon all that will be left is Ben.

                      Surefire way for the GOP to get voted out of power: Spend taxpayer money like it's going out of style.
                      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
