Re: your tagline. And you trust the Democrats? Weren’t they the party of the South?

Thanks for the info on Ms. Swift. I was unaware she was a Lefty. I don’t follow popular culture anymore. Good to know.

Being a Southerner myself who has been involved in politics since I could walk, a Southern Democrat was actually a Republican in thought but a Democrat in name only to assure them the black vote. So yes they were the party of the South, but not all of them were bad.

Where did it say I trust the Democrats

Freepers are fools to think gop always good and dems always bad

There were good and bad amongst all of them at times

But overall now they suck and have more often than not

Party worship is simplistic and lazy

Just my opinion

Do you have a problem with the south

Southern democrats were more socially conservative than most Yankee gop ever were

Which is my point

The vicitimhood special treatment legislation of the 1960s and 1970s would not have been possible without collusion between northern liberal GOP and liberal non southern dems

Conservative GOP or the Goldwater wing and Dixiecrats opposed it all

It’s hard to delineate into a nice neat package like say Glenn Beck and National Review do which states plainly Democrats always bad and GOP so wonderful

One promising feature of now is that more white northerners are voting like white southerners than in a long time

Of course last Alabama senate race is an anomaly to that which I figured would never happen
