You have no idea what you are talking about.

George Wallace started out as a liberal and was beaten by John Patterson who ran as a segregationist. Wallace saw how the wind was blowing and ran next time as a segregationist.

Patterson btw was the man credited with cleaning up Phenix City, Alabama after his Father was murdered by the hoods.

Wallace always was a liberal, just one who was willing to hide his leanings to be elected.

Let's not forget that George Corley Wallace's political mentor was Jim Folsom, arguable the most liberal governor in Alabama's history.

Lord, I remember my older relatives talking about that Phenix City mess. Wasn't Patterson's daddy gunned down on the street in broad daylight?

I was down there just the other day, looking something up at the courthouse. It's a very quiet little town now.
