I believe that those Reagan Democrats who are still alive today are independents today. Otherwise the GOP would have seen an increase of voters registering as Republicans. I never saw it.

The GOP did see an increase in voter registration and the elections prove it. If democrats didn't switch then Texas, Georgia, Alabama, and other southern red states would still be Democrat. When the white southern democrats switched to republican...the majority of black republicans switched to democrat. It was like a complete flip flop.
The last democrat governor of Texas was Gov. Anne Richards. She was defeated by GWBush and since then the republicans have pretty much dominated the entire state legislature.

Something different about states like Texas and Arizona, how would you describe it ? It feels like FREEDOM.
I think next week I'm going to drive to Arizona to remember what it use to feel like in California thirty or so years ago.
Might even pick me up an ammunition magazine that holds more than ten rounds and smuggle it back into California.

What makes you think there would be a link ?
Write a letter to the Dept. of the Navy and ask for the studies.
But if it took you more than 4.3 seconds to read my post, I saved you a postage stamp.

Milton Friedman's biographer and a guy who wrote the book on seccession??? lol Yeah, I'm sure that map is completely non partisan and unbiased. lol Not.
They rank certifiying teachers as a loss of freedom. Looks like I wasn't far wrong about dumbing down.
They also rank the licensing and certifiation of doctors, nurses and hospitals as a loss of freedom. Ew, try not to get sick in the freedom states.
Meh, almost everything that is just common sense is a strike against freedom in their eyes. Well, what do you expect the authors are far right extremist libertarians.
I'm not surprised Arizona ranked high on gun freedom. They probably get lots of mula selling guns to drug cartels in Mexico.
Seriously Apacherat, thanks for the link, it was very interesting.
