resp:22 I've noticed, which is apparently why the ideology has moved
down South-- more of the party's strongmen hail from there nowadays
(Jesse Helms, Newt Gingrinch, etc.)
Interesting idea that the faith-based initiative might be aimed at
black voters-- I have been told that that particular ethnicity (I no
longer think it's accurate to say 'race') tie their communities
strongly to their churches, or in other words, black churches are
reported to take a much more active role in the communities they serve.
I generally agree that Democrats may vote with the Republicans-- there
was indeed a trend for them to vote fiscally conservative. This is
especially so, I'd say, in the state of Washington. Democrats here,
as best I can tell, are very moderate.
resp:23 No, they are not, which is why I suspect my friend does not
identify himself as Republican anymore.

Re #25: Washington is kind of interesting. From what I've seen the
Republicans there are extremely far to the right, to the point where
they have trouble appointing candidates anyone can vote for with a
straight face. Didn't they have a governor candidate a few years ago
that ran on a rabidly anti-homosexual platform?

huh? No, dude, that is not my experience. Locke's competition was
someone even a Republican friend of mine thought was a flake (or does
that prove your point? hard to say).
Haven't heard of a Republican governor candidate who openly spoke out
against homosexuals.. can you provide a name?

Re #27: I can't remember any names, I'm afraid. I just remember a
friend of mine talking about how the Republicans had nominated some
right-wing talk show host who proclaimed that earthquakes were the
result of God expressing disapproval of elections. Apparently this guy
got something like 30% of the vote and considered it a huge moral victory.
