Do we have problems with the states run by Republicans in this way?

this territory is moderated

I think the irony is that they claim to care about democracy. It doesn't really hold for Republicans, who make no such claims.

reply

What is the Republican claim? A republic?

reply

I guess so. I just know that I don't hear Republicans talking about "Our Democracy" all the time.

reply

Are Republicans winning without making claims, or are you just unaware?

reply

Republicans tend to campaign like Ron Paul and then govern like John McCain.

are you just unaware?

How would I know?

reply

You seem aware of the Ds proclamations, but not the Rs. Just making sure I understand.I think the Rs run on economic freedom, not democracy per se.

reply

I've pretty much only ever lived in Red America. I'm fairly aware of what Republicans say and do.

reply

Sorry. You didn't express that when asked. Or did I miss something?

I don't know. Texas?

reply

Interesting you are only aware of California. But check out Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas...

reply

I agree the issues go both dem and rep, but most big cities with population centers serve as ballast in red states, like Little Rock, Memphis, etc

reply

Memphis has been stripped of all power by the Rs. They are working on Nashville now even trying to overtake the Airport authority.

reply

Yeah, - something about living in big cities that makes people act like urbanites. Or they leave.
