And how is the religious right and Fox News being maligned and how are they really all about unity?

Republicans, conservationism in general, Arizona, Alabama, Big Oil, Big Pharma, Catholics, fundies, freepers, Big Insurance (health), Wall Street, the so called investor class, Metro Police Depts. What I'm saying is that lets not be so darn hypocritical here on DU.

with the pro-union Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, etc, along with their apparent dismissal of Illinois and its "Chicago-style" politics.

Really, there's nothing left but the slowly failing "Southern Strategy" region, where states like Virginia, Florida, and North Carolina are slowly being transformed.
