That question is a very easy one to answer. I like to think of the GOP as a modern version of the KNOW NOTHING party that appeared just after the Civil war. They knew nothing and they really didn't care at all about that. They did know one thing for sure and that was, there was a lot of loot and plunder to be had when you are a government in the USA. Things never change do they? Well, these know nothings only cared about their class and their personal fortunes and nothing else at all. They were prepared to do anything at all to protect their exalted status even if it hurt the republic very badly. Just the same way the GOP operates today. They depended on prejudice and ignorance, hot air and BS to attract any votes at all. The majority of the people were not fooled by their blustering bungle and the party died. I can only hope and pray the same fate awaites the GOP Knownothings of today.
Revisionist history to be polite.
And you were patting this poster on the back for a "great post."

Are you certain that the modern Republicans would be against slavery? Lincoln expanded the government and fought the Confederates which are mostly Repubs these days.
Yes, considering you haven't seen a single law enacted by Republicans regarding enactment of slavery. In fact, the last thing you tend to relate to slavery and stupid ridiculous laws are Jim Crow, a democrat.

Lamest post of the year. Does it make any sense to you that once Obama took office, the unemployment rate skyrocketed? Explain to me how is this possible.
Since this great man has been inaugurated, Republicans have done nothing but be unreasonable in obstructing this President. What are they afraid of? Could his plans for the country be any worse than the disaster that Republicans represented for 8 horrific years of George Bush? Are they so afraid of the enormous SUCCESS that they know this man can bring, that being unreasonable, petty, trite obstructionists is the only way they can feel relevant?
"8 horrific year". If you say so.

More Than 8.3 Million Jobs Created Since August 2003 In Longest Continuous Run Of Job Growth On Record
WASHINGTON -- Today, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released new jobs figures - 18,000 jobs created in December. Since August 2003, more than 8.3 million jobs have been created, with more than 1.3 million jobs created throughout 2007. Our economy has now added jobs for 52 straight months - the longest period of uninterrupted job growth on record. The unemployment rate remains low at 5 percent. The U.S. economy benefits from a solid foundation, but we cannot take economic growth for granted and economic indicators have become increasingly mixed. President Bush will continue working with Congress to address the challenges our economy faces and help facilitate long-term economic growth, job growth, and better standards of living for all Americans.
The U.S. Economy Benefits From A Solid Foundation
* Real GDP grew at a strong 4.9 percent annual rate in the third quarter of 2007. The economy has now experienced six years of uninterrupted growth, averaging 2.8 percent a year since 2001.
* Real after-tax per capita personal income has risen by 11.7 percent - an average of more than $3,550 per person - since President Bush took office.
* Over the course of this Administration, productivity growth has averaged 2.6 percent per year. This growth is well above average productivity growth in the 1990s, 1980s, and 1970s."
There goes your entire made-up rewritten history theory.
