So, when Dean or Obama deal the race card, we have our ammunition.

now, i wonder why you won't do one of these cutesie questionnaires for the past 30 years or so, starting with ronald reagan ,the great white savior. i'd like to see THAT questionnaire.
when sen kennedy called them "neanderthals", i believe that he was just stating the obvious about their judicial opinions (miguel estrada & janice brown). the republicans are supposed to be the party that supposedly pays no attention to the persons' race, but sure did continually milk this story and the racial aspect to portray the democrats as particularly insensitive to blacks and hispanics.

Thank you for the history lesson. We (I would like to think) are all aware of how the Republican party came about and the role of 'Dixiecrats' in the south in opposing them. We are also aware of how, in the past 50 years, things have changed. The Republican party AND the Democratic party are not the same things they were 50 or 100 years ago, so to attribute the values either parties held in the past would be an error as those values do not currently represent the party.

You forgot to credit your source for this test..lol. It was probably an honest oversight, but I know I've seen this before, so of course it's not original.

BButrell is on a distinguished road
*wiping laughter tears from my face*

By sanrene's logic, we're all British citizens! Since Texas was once a part of Mexico, does that make me a Mexican?

How dense do you have to be to see that movements and parties shift over time? How many history classes do you have to skip to not know this?

Oh, this is typical sanrene. "The stupid colored people don't even know who to be loyal to. Silly Negroes!"
