Memo to GOP From an Ex-Conservative: The Eighties Are Over

by hanhuogekennog Posted on January 1, 2013

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN” “http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd”>

After a grueling election cycle from which the GOP emerged with a net loss of eight seats in the House, two seats in the Senate, and no White House, one might expect Republicans to reconsider their view that the electorate has given a solid mandate to conservative hardliners. But no: From the fiscal cliff talks (where only 29 percent of Americans approve of the work GOP leaders have done), to the inflexible stance on guns post-Sandy Hook amid an eight year high in public calls for better gun control, the party seems to be largely in denial about where the policy mandate lies. And that, in turn, highlights a longer-term problem: The right-wing base is less vital than it used to be. The challenge can be seen most evidently in a movement I know from personal experience: the religious right.

To be sure, the movement remains a major player. The politically active core of the conservative Christian block, white evangelicals, still compose 26 percent of the voting population nationally, equal to the portion of African-American, Asian, and Hispanic voters combined and they are up 3 percent from their 2004 numbers. Just 30 percent of those voters cast their ballot for Obama this past November (compared to Clinton’s 36 percent in 1996, and Jimmy Carter’s whopping 41 percent in 1976).

However, let’s take a look at another fact: evangelicals have increased primarily in their strategic strongholds. In Iowa and Ohio, the white evangelical voting population went up by 5 percent from 2004. The South is as (if not more) evangelical as ever, most notably in Mississippi, where white evangelicals increased by 2 percent from 2004 to 2012, going to a whopping 50 percent of the entire voting population and Alabama, where white evangelical voters went up by 4 percent.

During primary season, evangelicals often make up the majority of Republican voters in these states. In my home state of Georgia, for instance, 68 percent of Republican voters were evangelical. In Alabama, the figure was 80 percent. Florida: 47 percent. Iowa: 57 percent. And in Ohio, evangelicals made up 49 percent of Republican primary voters.

Wind-energy tax credit would get extension under ‘fiscal cliff’ deal

Wind-energy tax credit would get extension under ‘fiscal cliff’ deal

By Lisa Hymas

Tennessee Valley Infrastructure Group Inc.

It appears that a deal in the works to avert the so-called fiscal cliff would extend a critical tax credit for the wind-power industry for one year.

“The potential agreement that’s being talked about … would extend tax credits for clean-energy companies that are creating jobs and reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” President Obama said at a press conference today.

The production tax credit (PTC) for the wind industry expires today. With its status up in the air, wind companies across the country have been laying off workers and putting projects on hold. If the PTC isn’t renewed, 37,000 jobs could be lost, according to the American Wind Energy Association.

Clean-energy advocates had been hoping for a deal that would extend the tax credit for multiple years. After all, the fossil-fuel industry doesn’t have to come crawling back to Congress repeatedly to beg for renewal of its subsidies — the main dirty-energy perks are ongoing. But a one-year extension would be better than nothing. And the terms of the tax credit might be changed so that new wind projects don’t have to be finished in 2013 to qualify, but just have to be started, which would mean a bigger boost to the industry.

Of course, the whole fiscal-cliff deal is still totally up in the air. “Today, it appears that an agreement to prevent this New Year’s tax hike is within sight, but it’s not done,” Obama said at his press conference. So don’t raise a toast yet. You might want to pour a stiff drink instead.
