They did everything but stop him regaining office three more times, right?
Fleming is a PBSer, AFAICS. His views on McCarthyism in his book that is generally on the Civil War (”A Disease in the Public Mind”) is that it was comparable to communism itself—which in retrospect, given our plethora of liberal “leaders” today, is a very liberal-conforming view itself.
I gather from that post that you are aware that there was a Civil War. And if so then you should know why the South wouldn’t vote for a Republican.
Voting for a Republican has naught to do with that issue I was speaking of. Yellow-dogism is leftism in and of itself, besides.
My wife often thinks I’m trying to relive the Ol’ South. And I am, until the reality of too many Yankees comin’ down sinks in.
They can’t stand the crap they’d created for themselves, so they’ve gotta stink it up somewhere else, and suddenly, Dixie becomes ever less so.

“Voting for a Republican has naught to do with that issue I was speaking of. “
You spoke as if you expected the South of the 1930s not to vote Democrat. In the 1930s memories of the Civil War were still common. There were veterans of the War still living. Southerners voted Democrat or not at all.
” Yellow-dogism is leftism in and of itself, besides”
And that of course is pure unadulterated nonsense. Yellow Dog Democrats vote for their favorite team, it has nothing to do with politics. You can find the Republican mirror image around here all the time, GOP-bots who will vote for the R no matter how leftwing the particular candidate may be.
Here’s hoping that you can preserve the character of the South.
Out west we have a different variation on that same theme.
So many third world imports that they are recreating the societies that they left.

Yellow-dogism not leftism? Party over country? Okay; then explain how the allegedly conservative southern Democrats were voting their conscience.
Hey look; do I have to point out the obvious?
If ‘He was dragged slightly right of center’
HE MOVED RIGHT.
Your first post was wrong in numerous ways.
They voted for Representatives and Senators who shared their conservative values. Go google ‘conservative coalition’.
No, he was dragged slightly right of center. Forgot about that election in 1994? He barely stayed in office after that; “moving” right was survival mode for him. None of his dellow femocrats were discouraging his hard-left platforms, gays in the military, FMLA and universal healthcare, which he campaigned on (the “Health Security Act”, designed by Hillary) among them.
OTC drugs are always cheaper than their prescription equivalents, even aside from the doctor's visit.
But it sounds like he is talking about a subsidy.
It "sounds like it" because the author of this article is trying to make a point, and quotes one sentence out of context to do that.
What is really going on is some very clever politicking: if a drug is available OTC, it's not covered by Obamacare, and employers don't have to pay for it. Polls show that women voters are against any proposal that employers not pay for birth control, but like the same idea if it's presented as making birth control more "available."
