Go ahead and research this. Please!!!

Oversimplification. Southern Democrats of the mid 20th century were not Democrats that we think of today. The Republic and Democratic parties have changed heavily since then.


Which President appointed the most "minorities" to the Highest positions in Government? - Yahoo! Answers

George Bush, the REPUBLICAN!!!!



Sadly, Democrats have managed to trick a lot of black Americans into believing that the GOP is a racist party. But, in truth, the Democratic Party was, is, and will likely continue to be the home of far more racists than the GOP.

Democrats didn’t fall in love with Black folks; they fell in love with the Black vote. As Democrats
managed to trick the Blacks to be on their side, they continue play the race card on Republicans to get what they want.


Look at how Barney Frank, a democrat is adept at playing the RACE card.

Republicans today in no way resemble the republicans in the 1800's. Hell a Republican from the Eisenhower era would not recognize anything about the party today.

Republicans stand for less government. But a republican has grown the size of government more than anyone in history.

I agree.
I fully expect that the Obama supporters will go ape$hit on election night should he lose. He has plans to have a rally in Grant Park that I am hoping will be cancelled for safety reasons. The crazies here tore things up after the Bulls Championships, when they were happy...if he loses, it won't be pretty.

The only people that will cause trouble will be Nobama supporters. If McCain loses his supporters will accept it without starting riots or anything like that.

I suspect they will do that even if he wins. I remember the riots after the Bulls WON the championship.

Oh they'll be hell to pay if McCain wins this thing for sure. But I'll be honest, if McCain gets Pennsylvania and Ohio, I may wonder if there wasn't any funny business and I'm a Republican.

Of course, with all those Dems that ACORN registered, I am sure they will win in a landslide.
