Midknight Review -- new and revised: Since 1952, GOP voter base much more consistent than the Dems. Not so much this year. (see the chart).

Since 1952, GOP voter base much more consistent than the Dems. Not so much this year. (see the chart).

Percentages of Democrats and Republicans who voted for the nominee in the other party. Nixon was the man in '68 and '72, Reagan in '80 and '84. I am surprised to see that the GOP has a much more consistent voter base than does the Democrat Party.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
