Yellow Dog Democrats.
Where I live in a sleepy little one horse in South,AL there are older people who will not vote for a republican under any circumstances.
These sort of people are called yellow dog democrats although I don't know why.
Anyways I know a older gentlemen who is a good southern baptist he is a good man and yet he will not vote republican under any circumstances.
Although I disagree with this good man on doctrinal issues he does hold to moral values,yet He would vote for Hillary over Mccain.
My grandfather had loyalty to The Democrats as well.
Do you have a faction of staunch yellow dog democrats where you live?

Re: Yellow Dog Democrats.
My FIL (84 years old) is a staunch Democrat! We are careful not to discuss politics, BUT when we saw him this past weekend I had to ask who he was voting for.
I said, "So, are you going to vote for Obama?"
He said, "Hahahaahahahhaha. You are very funny."
He isn't voting for Hillary either. I can't see him voting Republican. I don't know what he will do.

And Republicans - the three running now are no more than a hop, skip, and a jump from one another. I refuse to vote for any of them.

'Blue Dog' Democrats gain clout by not kowtowing to party liberals
WASHINGTON — On a recent Saturday afternoon in small-town northern Mississippi, Rep. John Tanner, D-Tenn., went door-knocking and restaurant-hopping as if his own career were at stake.
He was campaigning for Democrat Travis Childers, who went on to win the GOP stronghold in a special election a few days later.
"Hell, I wouldn't do this for myself," Tanner, who has served in the House for two decades, told Childers of the door-to-door effort.
That's only partly true.
Tanner and "Blue Dog" Democrats — conservative fiscal hawks "choked blue" by their party's liberal flank — are building their own political operation to propel like-minded candidates to victory this fall. They're also quietly raising their own influence within a party personified by liberals like Sens. Edward Kennedy and presidential candidate Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

It looks like there's a new breed of dog in the Democratic party.....The BLUE dog!

You're just another one of them durned bleeding heart liberals you know that right Nate? Don't you realize that if you're not Republican and if you don't think W is Jesus Jr. that you're not a Christian? 
For those that are concerned about Dem's alleged problems with 'moral' issues. What'st the difference between killing American babies in the womb and killing Muslim babies with bombs and missles? One is abortion and the other is collateral damage? They both seem immoral to me.

Re: Yellow Dog Democrats.
You know I find this interesting but historically The Democrats by and large were agains't civil rights while Republicans were for civils rights,hence The Eisenhower presidency.

Re: Yellow Dog Democrats.
The ignorant, delusional, unthinking, easily-manipulated, yet stubbornly-patriotic masses - their voices must be heard!
You may thank government schools and the patience of the communists. Their long march through the institutions is nearly complete.
