Of the four battlegrounds, we (Conservatives) are pulling ahead in all except for the same-sex marriage issue (see the charts at the linky).
Same-sex marriage...
Twelve of the 18 blue-wall states now have same-sex-marriage or civil-union laws that guarantee equivalent spousal benefits. By contrast, every state that has consistently voted Republican in recent presidential elections has a law or constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
Very strange, being attracted to the same-sex; something I just can't fathom. Democrats embrace this filthy-seeming behavior. Just goes to show how rotten their minds really are.
Abortion...
While blue states moved left on same-sex marriage, a number of predominantly conservative states moved right on abortion. Fifteen states, including 13 that have voted Republican in at least four of the past five presidential races, enacted at least one major restriction on abortion in the first half of 2011. Many states enacted one or two measures, but Indiana and Kansas adopted all five restrictions that National Journal tracked: mandatory ultrasounds before abortions; longer waiting periods or more-stringent counseling requirements; limits on insurance coverage; defunding of Planned Parenthood; and a ban on abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a policy that abortion advocates say violates Roe v. Wade.
Seems correct that if, politically, one embraces 'same-sex' unions that one can also embrace killing the unborn. Scabrous and decadent, Democrats.
Immigration...
The traditional “immigration-receiving states” of the Northeast and the Pacific Coast mostly leaned against bringing the law down on illegal immigrants, while Southern and Midwestern states moved the other way. Five red states enacted Arizona-style immigration enforcement laws, while nine expanded the use of the E-Verify database in public and private hiring. Seven states, including traditionally blue Wisconsin and Rhode Island, passed laws requiring voters to show photo identification. On the coasts, blue states made in-state tuition benefits available to illegal immigrants, and Illinois, Massachusetts, and New York opted out of the Secure Communities federal enforcement program. Utah went in both directions, enacting a strict enforcement law along with a guest-worker program.
Only the most dirty-socialist Democrat will ignore the porous borders. Of course, Democrats who do are looking to pick up another fellow traveler. A illegal immigrant is simply an undocumented Democrat in their eyes.
Guns...It's clear that Democrats took a major whipping after Bill Clinton's overreach in the '90's. Democrats lost in 2000 because they ran Al Gore, and he could not retain Tennessee (his 'home state') because WE in the NRA worked overtime to defeat his LeftLibProgg ass. Democrats have not forgotten that, and have wisely backed off attacking the 2nd Amendment directly. Of course Barack Hussein Obama will do whatever he can to re-start the gun controlling. If this debt ceiling crisis mess weren't in the headlines, taking up so much oxygen, then this major DOJ - ATF Gunrunner scandal might well be nipping at BHO's heels right now, possibly becoming an impeachable offense. What did Barack Hussein Obama know, and when did he know it?
Gun-rights advocates this year loosened restrictions primarily, but not exclusively, in Republican-leaning states. Blue-state Maryland passed a law strengthening penalties for gun crimes, but other than that it has been one-way traffic on guns so far in 2011. Thirteen states (including eight traditional red states) lightened restrictions on carrying firearms, with the laws ranging from a Wisconsin act legalizing concealed carry to North Dakota and Texas laws allowing people to keep loaded weapons in their cars while unattended in parking lots. Pennsylvania, a blue-wall state, joined North Carolina in passing a stronger “castle law,” giving people more leeway in defending themselves with deadly force.
It's obvious that each individual should have access and ability to defend him/herself. Especially with the (forced) downsizing occurring - getting ready to occur - at State, Federal and Local governments, police departmental staffing levels might well be decreasing, as funding dries up. I won't mind that, given that I'm self-protected.
