The American public the most gullible of all time?

WideRight05 Wrote:As much as you would like to see it, the conservatives are going nowhere. Yes, Obama has the presidency right now, but if the people of this country are changing on social issues, why have all these conservatives been elected in various states that have led to some of the most strict abortion laws being passed in years? The democrats do not have a big lead in the senate, and the republicans recently swept the house and still hold a big lead.

Realistically, the conservatives are going to win some and the liberals will win theirs from time to time. But to say that one party is going to have a slow death is extreme.
Watch how fast America is changing on social issues. Just in one decade there has been a 20% swing in whether or not Americans believe in gay marriage. The majority(58%, 81% for younger Americans, 18-30) of Americans now believe it is ok for gays to marry. This week, the Supreme court will be deciding two major cases on gay marriage. If they rule the way that it is expected to go, it will be a major, fast change in the marriage rules. This is just one of the social issues that are showing a changing America. If the conservative party doesn't want to die a slow death, they will have to evolve their views. It's that simple. People are tired of the "grumpy white man's club", and if you watch any news at all, you can't help but see that. To think otherwise, you are only kidding yourself, and hoping if you ignore it, it will go away.

For all your stats you pointed out, 2014 will be a major picture into how things are going for conservatives. We will know soon enough which one of was right.
