Wallace won the Demonrat POTUS primary in MI.
“Nonsense. Jimmy Carter won the entire south, except Virginia, in 1976.”
If you do a search you will find that Carter also had dealing with the Klan.
Plus, there were a lot of people who overlooked Wallace's stupid "gun in the school house door" stunt which the left used to define his entire career. The fact of the matter is that Wallace was probably the most racially tolerant white governor in the south during that particular era and he or his wife was elected and re-elected governor afterward with substantial help of black voters.
He also understood America's disgust with the tweedledum/tweedledee two party system long before anyone else of national prominence did.
By the 1972 Democrat primary season, it was actually a three way race between McGovern, Humphrey and Wallace. Wallace finished a mere 2.3% behind HHH, the top vote getter in the primaries. He won two states outside the south (Michigan and Maryland) and might have won more had his national campaign not have been ended by the bullet of an attempted assassin in Maryland.
It was Ronald Reagan some eight years later who was largely responsible for bringing the GOP back to its conservative mooring, a process which the RINO wing begin undoing with the election of Daddy Bush on Reagan's coattails back in 1988.
In the book Watergate Amendment, it is the revelation of how George Wallace, got the money and power to run as third party candidate...You won’t believe it! But it’s true.
They want Americans to be able to choose from Column A or Column a. They want NO opposition.
Por slavery party
Anti-civil rights party
Pro-global warming/climate change hoax party
They are ALWAYS against freedom
The parallels are uncanny: obama youth, obama national security/police corps, his cadre of deviants and sociopaths.
If he thought for a moment that he could get away with it, would he hesitate to call for the round up any group of so-called "terrorists" who oppose his messianic purposes?
Should read:
Democrat George C. Wallace, a former governor of Alabama...
He was a former governor, not a former Democrat. He never changed parties. And although he may have gotten votes from both sides, his big draw was from Dixie Democrats, not Republicans.
The media (read that Democrats) will stop at nothing to blur the facts regarding Democrat history. They're as ashamed of it as we are disgusted by it.
Of course that shame is only tied to political correctness, and not the idea they actually (view themselves as) ever doing anything wrong, or worthy of apologizing for.
