You are looking at Republicans dressed in Donkey suits. We have to remember that the parties were reversed in the South from Lincoln until sometime after integration. White Southerners almost all identified themselves as Democrats, but when their Representatives and Senators got to Washington they voted with Republicans on social issues and most other issues too. They would vote with the Democrats on any bipartisan issue, like when it came time to name a New Post Office after a war hero. In other words, these Southern Democrats were elephants dressed in donkey suits. Blacks in the South then almost all voted Republican when they could get past all the barriers that prevented many of them from voting. They didn't get to Washington, so we needn't consider how they voted once they got to Congress --- they weren't there... This misalignment went on considerably after integration, until one day one of elephants woke up and said, "Golly gee, I always vote with the Republicans, why not join the Republican party." If you don't think I am correct on this, check out the voting record of any Mississippi Senator or Democrat before integration. This went on well after integration too. Check out, for example, Representative, Gene Taylor's voting record. A proud Mississippi "Democrat". Taylor was one of those who hung on to his Donkey Suit a little too long. When in 2014 he, at last, shed his Donkey suit and started swinging his long gray trunk, he was defeated by a real Republican, and of course a true Southern dullard, Steven Palazzo. I haven't personally checked this out , but I have no doubt that a little sleuthing about would likely reveal Palazzo's Truck to be a real dually with full size bed, whereas it's rumored that Taylor may not even have had a truck back in 2014.
Re-writing history. First you need to read up on the black representatives who were sent to Congress prior 1960 including which party they were part of. Second you need to take a look at the Republican voting record in Congress prior 1960 on social issues and civil rights. Yes, post 1960 a change occurred in the South (i.e. "Southern Strategy") which drove most Southern Democrats to become Republicans -- likewise the Republican party moved away from its roots becoming more intolerant, more conservative religious, and stepping away from its traditional roots of supporting public education and other issues. This has brought us to today -- where Trump is a long distance from the values of Reagan.
GWB: Accuses Piezoe of re-writing history Also GWB: Acknowledges Southern Strategy and repeats Piezoe's claims
Why don't you go read up on the black representatives in Congress prior 1960 --- before you continue to push Piezoe's claims Blacks did not go to Congress as per his quote I was addressing ("They didn't get to Washington, so we needn't consider how they voted once they got to Congress --- they weren't there...")
Ha ha ha. Get outa here. ROTFLMAO. There's virtually none, I can't name a single one, 'cept corse during reconstruction, which them Yankees forced on us. We not count'n Reconstruction, bless your heart. That was before we started lynch'n. They all from them progressive states like Illinois and California. Hell California ain't even in the United States. I'm talking Deep South here. Intellectually like, 10,000 miles South of Antarctica. I'm not Talking Republican Party. Whose talking Republican Party. I'm Talking South'rn Democrats in donkey suits Vot'n with Republicans once they got to Washington, cuz they was Elephants in disguise.
Piezoe, did you ever find that passage in the Mueller report that presented the evidence that Trump colluded with Russia? You claim it is there, but have failed to produce it.
