The GOP Demographics Problem... Young Voters Increasingly Side With Democrats.
Learn to read the graph...The combined total equals 88% down from the low 90's. They are not going to democrats, it looks like 5% are not participating in the political charade.
Since the election of Obama, democrats lost 5% of their support and lost the House of Reps in a landslide in 2010.
Today's Republican Party Wants 'GHW Bush & 'GW Bush' try #3... Jeb Bush!!!
"Many of the Republican Party's most powerful insiders and financiers have begun a behind-the-scenes campaign to draft former Florida governor Jeb Bush into the 2016 presidential race, courting him and his intimates and starting talks on fundraising strategy."
"Concerned that the George Washington Bridge traffic scandal has damaged New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's political standing and alarmed by the steady rise of Sen. Rand Paul, prominent donors, conservative leaders and longtime operatives say they consider Bush the GOP's brightest hope to win back the White House."
Most interesting: "Many if not most of Mitt Romney's major donors are reaching out to Bush and his confidants with phone calls, e-mails and invitations to meet, according to interviews with 30 senior Republicans. One bundler estimated that the 'vast majority' of Romney's top 100 donors would back Bush in a competitive nomination fight."

"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot."
I was quite sure that G WORST Bush put an end to that dynasty... but the GOP is a stubborn bunch, and if most Republicans ask themselves... "do I want a 3rd Bush, or do I want a Randy Paul... They'd opt for Bushy #3. (So would I)

They pushed Romney to the top knowing he didn't have a snowballs chance in hell against Obama, they did the same with McCain. I can't even imagine a Bush/Clinton election, it is a lose lose situation. 2 people from a political dynasty, doesn't seem right.

Earlier this year eight-year-old Olivia McConnell wrote her state representatives to suggest that since South Carolina doesn’t currently have a state fossil, it should be given one! Olivia decided that she needed a legitimate reason to suggest this besides liking fossils, so she came up with three:
1. One of the first discoveries of a vertebrae fossil in North America was on an S.C. plantation when slaves dug up wooly mammoth teeth from a swamp in 1725. 2. All but seven states have an official state fossil. 3. “Fossils tell us about our past.”
The bill was welcomed and approved... The bill was voted on in the SC house and passed, The bill hit up against Anti Science Right Wing TeaBaggers in the Senate and was killed! (Of course)
Senator Mike Fair(R TeaBagger) objected to the bill for “religious reasons.”
Fair, who has compared the President to Osama Bin Laden, helped to block funding for a rape crisis center, called climate change a hoax, and blocked evolution from the state’s science standards... Said “I don’t have a problem with teaching theories. I don’t think it should be taught as fact,” stood up for Biblical representation in the state fossil–after all, what’s science without Jesus?
Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell blocked the proposed amendment because it introduced a new subject. He has since amended the amendment to describe the Columbian Mammoth as: “created on the Sixth Day with the beasts of the field". (And now you know how deranged religious fanatic TeaBaggers killed the Woolly Mammoth!)

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.” ~ Lyndon Johnson.
This sums up the Tea Party. Since 2009, a group of flustered conservatives have taken to the mainstream to protest what they feel is an intrusive, dismantled, over-spending government. What is truly astonishing is that the people who donate to Tea Party organizations are those who benefit from food stamps, the Affordable Care Act, and take the most in federal subsidies. While these Tea Party supporters protest wasteful spending, they have no idea that their donations are not going towards electing their candidates, but expenditures for midterms. AKA – their getting their pockets picked.
The organizations and their contributions include:
Of the $12.4 million raised by the Senate Conservative Action and Senate Conservative Fund, only 17% went directly to candidates, and 23% went to other expenditures Of the $7.7 million raised by the Tea Party Express, only 1% went directly to candidates, 2% to independent expenditures Of the $7.4 million raised by the Tea Party Patriots Citizens Fund, none went directly to candidates, and only 2% went to independent expenditures Of the $4.5 million raised by the Tea Party Leadership Fund, only 4% went directly to candidates, 8% to independent expenditures Of the $3.4 million raised by the Madison Project, only 2% went to candidates, 3% to independent expenditures.
