I know the folks in Minnesota are considerably more liberal than those of us in the southern tier of states but I sure hope they're not that liberal.
Unfortunately you are correct. This state is notoriuosly screwed up on the liberal bias. Although our governor is a republican.

Just because he's a Republican, in this day and age, doesn't always guarantee anything. Have you ever heard of the term RINO - Republican In Name Only? Some of the most influential Republicans in our government are working hand over fist trying to merge us into the New World Order, doing away with our gun rights, constitutional rights and in the long run, our sovereignty as a nation.

Yeah, your own governor is a perfect example of the RINO species.
"This is a situation that's hard to grasp - a state that has two Republican senators (both of them pretty conservative) and five of their six congressmen are fairly conservative Republicans. Sounds like Oklahomans suffer from political schizophrenia. In other words, they don't really know which political system they want."
Yes Jim, the state has been under Democrat control since its founding. The Pubs are starting to gain ground but so many of them are neo-liberals that as you said earlier, they are 2 heads of the same snake.

Sad, but true. I spent eight years on our local Republican central committee, and have seen it all.

I know a lot of folks in the UK didn't like 'er but she was my second favorite PM of all time.

I know that what you say is true - all that is another reason I moved to Texas, where they cast off the chains of longtime control by the Democrats. Today Republicans, though not nearly as conservative as I'd like, control much of government in the Lone Star state.
An interesting perspective on immigration.

QuoteDisplay MoreA lady wrote the best letter in an Editorial in ages!!!It explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.
Her point:Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of illegal immigration. Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders, might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to stay indefinitely.
Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.
Let's say I break into your house.
Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.
But I say, "I've made all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house).
According to the protesters:
You are Required to let me stay in your house.
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan.
You are Required to Educate my kids.
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me and to my family (my husband will do all of your yard work because he is also hard-working and honest, except for that breaking in part).
If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends, who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be there. It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do, and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest, person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.
And what a deal it is for me!!! I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted behavior.
Oh yeah, I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE so you can communicate with me.
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?! Only in America ......
Enjoy....

[INDENT] Last Tuesday, as President Bush got off the helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.
The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says: "Nice pigs, sir."
The President replies "These are not pigs these are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Senator Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi."
The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and says,
"Excellent trade, sir."

Nice one Chester Jim,
and by the way Stumpy Jim,
I guess there's no need to ask, who was your favourite UK PM?
Thanks for that Jim 
by the way Stumpy Jim,
I guess there's no need to ask, who was your favourite UK PM?
He succeeded Neville Chamberlain, naturally.
IMO, one of the towering figures of history, who deserves to be honored by all who value freedom.
Hi Stumpy
Yes, Churchill stand out like a giant amongst British Prime Ministers.
Who would your favourite President be?
Mike
Out of complete curiosity, how many democrats are there on this board? I can't believe everyone is a Republican and I can remember people stating in older posts on this board that they were Democrats.

Of all 44, I think Thomas Jefferson. Of those who've been president during my lifetime (1938 to present), it would be Ronald Reagan, no contest.
I can't believe everyone is a Republican
We have a saying in the states, Rob...."I didn't leave the party; the party left me". That's how I feel about the Republicans. I no longer consider myself a Republican. I'm a conservative and IMO, the Republicans no longer represent conservative values.

Next thing you know, we'll be talking about religion!
