so now what? you can try and diminish/disparage the gop all you want, what does this have to do the southern strategy anyway?
Who is denigrating the GOP? No one at all. The north and the west dems and pubs did great, the southern pub and dems were stinkers.
Right?
The Dems had problems with white southern racists forever! Then the white southern racists scurried over to the Pubs in 1968 after. Lee Atwater and all the evidence demonstrate that when race was an issue that southern whites would vote GOP.
The issue is not party, guys: the racists are the problem, and for whites, they have been hiding (and dying more and more rapidly the last few years) in the Republican Party.
Trajan, when you have acknowledge racists like Lonestar and Buckeye (PM and ask them) telling me what I watched for more than 30 years was not so, I will kick it up their butts.
We worked for a lot of years to minimize the impact of those bad boys and girls.
And we have done great! The buckeyes and the lonestars will soon be one in ten thousand, and this great country will be even greater
