A good conservative Republican is just a dedicated Democrat that realized that he/she's been mugged by the government.... While it is true that some will become more fiscally conservative as they get older, many less will become socially so. Where they stand on issues like gay marriage, LGBT rights and even abortion are not going to shift greatly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I read the word "mellowed" I take that to mean less hardline, or less Conservative even in your views towards "them" and what to do with "them". And if that is the case and today's youth mellow with age then that is even worse for a party whose bread and butter is to oppose "them". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your candidate won or lost consider this election with a grain of salt. Let's focus on respecting each other, being kind to one another, and moving forward together. While we may or may not completely understand (or agree?) with the electoral system... Let's pray for the USA and the world. Let's pray for God to be made known among the nations. For people to come to know Jesus and the hope that can only be found in Him! God bless, GE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
