The racist southern democrats of yesterday are now the racist southern republicans of today. Lincoln would not recognize the republican party today, but then neither would Reagan.
You got that backwards - that's what the dems are saying, and we can all understand why. Not to mention the likes of New Black Panthers, another leftist racist gem.
Go study Yannis, you'll see. It isn't a republican democrat issue really. It's a southern racist issue. They used to vote democrat now they vote republican.
That's baloney. Yes, conservatives have prospered in the South, economically and politically, and many former democrats vote for the GOP these days, but the accusation that that's a racist issue is sheer fabrication by the Dems who are trying to typecast the Republicans these days. It's a disgusting and unsupported libel to gain political power through lying and cheating.
