What I said was far different. To wit: "......if you ever got elected as a Democrat to public office YOU CAN NEVER BE A REAL REPUBLICAN."
You still paint with too broad a brush. I know several older elected Republicans down here, conservative as anybody today, who were once ELECTED democrats. Nobody was a Republican down here before 1970. Then again, back then (pre-1970) you had Nelson Rockerfeller of New York, Edward Brooke of Massachusetts, Lowel Schweiker of Connecticut, all not just RINOs but real liberals, who were Republicans!
You might want to adjust your present view with what has changed historically, and yes, even in our own lifetimes!
And that’s why I said your statement is nonsense, because historically, for Southerners, it is. We were all democrats back then. And I welcome them all into the CONSERVATIVE side of the Republican party!
And I guess if you’ve ever been a non-believer, you can never be a real Christian.
