Democrats started losing the south when they became the party of abortion, amensty and acid. It is their liberal social values that cause them to lose in the south.
Liberals like to play the race card but when the south was racist it was Democrat. It isn't racist now and it generally votes REpublican. If Democrats gave up issues like abortion they could probably win many southern states with t heir class warfare rhetoric, especially poorer states like Miss.
Interestingly enough, many Southern states have local Democratic control but vote Republican nationally. The issue is the Dems platform, plain and simple. Southerners are not going to vote for candidates that are pro-drugs, anti-gun, and pro-abortion.

Yeah, under Obama, the deficit and gas prices are going down, unemployment is slowly going down, and the stock market is at all time highs. Yeah, clearly liberalism is on it's last legs.
Many years ago I use to be clueless just like you are because I towed the party line and anything they said I believed.
The deficit is not down, gas prices are down from what period of time, six months ago. And you have no clue why the stock market is at all time highs. Read about Quantitative Easing and the fed pumping 85 billion into the market every month.
This country will never get back on the right track if people continue to put blinders on and follow their favorite political party.
Your premise was that most democrats are pro drug. They are not.
Fair enough. They aren't primarily at the local level in the South but the national party does seem to be leaning that way. It's not just the drugs part of it though. I think there are other social positions of the Dems that do not play well in the South. Again, it's primarily the national party where you see that distinction though. Take a hard look at the South and you will see it votes largely Dem locally and Republican nationally.

I guess I don't really care one way or the other about marijuana. I don't use it anymore and am of the opinion that it's legalization is of little importance to our society as a whole.
