How can we get South Dakota on a milk carton??
This once conservative state simply seems to have disappeared. Even the respected Gallop organization reports that South Dakota is missing!!
In a study of top ten conservative states done by Gallop, South Dakota is simply NOT THERE. Some of our neighbors made the list. Wyoming, North Dakota and Nebraska made the top ten, but for conservatives in South Dakota… some sad news… You didn’t make it to the playoffs!
Conservatives in South Dakota are probably not surprised by this sad news. We have seen the expulsion and dismissal of conservatives escalating for the past few years.
Most recently, the Pennington County Republican Party even joined a lawsuit against a conservative who dared to hold a candidate accountable for violating the law when circulating petitions. New party leaders are on a “unity tour”, but no word yet if they will request a dismissal of the latest motion in that lawsuit. We can only hope.
Most South Dakota Republicans are still good, conservative folks. They just don’t seem to be watching while their leaders and elected officials take them farther and farther down the path of more government, more regulation and higher taxes.
While Gallup didn’t just survey Republicans, this alarming decline to the left has happened as moderates have taken control of the Republican Party.
While conservatives were sleeping, someone kidnapped their party!

Ah, here’s Gallup: http://www.gallup.com/poll/160196/alabama-north-dakota-wyoming-conservative-states.aspx
The poll doesn’t tell us much. It’s self-identification, not an analysis of policy. It shows that the folks in those self-identifying conservative states don’t understand that their conservatism is subsidized, as it is in South Dakota, by big government handouts to their mostly rural states paid for by their mostly liberal and urban counterparts.
The Nannystate has been on a rampage since 2008. With new controls on private business owners in place, we can just make the top 20!
