I'm sure that can all be looked up but it has zero to do with the post quoted.
It can be looked up very easily.
And it says something about Georgia, as deep south as you can get, that his flipping on race, did not hurt him politically.
Did you know about that? Is that not surprising to you?
No I did not know about that, since Wallace was from, and governed,
Alabama. So yeah that is kind of surprising. Didn't know you could be governor of two different states.
Opps. Got it wrong.
My point about his election stands. Is that not interesting to you?
No. The post had nothing to do with "elections". It had to do with the other poster's characterization of George C. Wallace as a "liberal".While never having lived in Alabama I understand he did reverse his racist sentiments later in life, but the fact that he had to be dragged to that point screaming and kicking illustrates that he was ultra-
conservative.
In fact why don't we go to some quotes from Wallace himself...
"I am a conservative. I intend to give the American people a clear choice. I welcome a fight between our philosophy and the liberal left-wing dogma which now threatens to engulf every man, woman, and child in the United States. I am in this race because I believe the American people have been pushed around long enough and that they, like you and I, are fed up with the continuing trend toward a socialist state which now subjects the individual to the dictates of an all-powerful central government." (1964, the year he offered to be Barry Goldwater's running mate)
"I am having nothing to do with enforcing a law that will destroy the rights of private property. I am having nothing to do with enforcing a law that destroys your right --and my right -- to choose my neighbors -- or to sell my house to whomever I choose. I am having nothing to do with enforcing a law that destroys the labor seniority system. I am having nothing to do with this so-called civil rights bill. The liberal left-wingers have passed it. Now let them employ some pinknik social engineers in Washington, D.C., to figure out what to do with it." (also 1964, whining about LBJ's Civil Rights Act signed two days before
