Yes, you did look at that the last 2-3 elections he was democrat, right...then all of a sudden...he is running as a republican....
Take your blinders off.....really....
"Hi there, we know that you've been running as a Democrat for the past several elections!"
"That's right, I'm a good Democrat and also a former KKK organizer!"
"Well, we'd like you to run as a Republican this time."
"But I'm a Democrat?"
"We know that, but you'd do more for our party by running as a Republican this time."
"Why?"
"Because even though we're a party of KKK organizers, we want to make the other party look like they're the KKK endorsed party."
"Why should I do that for you guys?"
"Well, Barack Obama is a Democrat."
"But I'm still a Democrat"
"...?"
"OK, good point, I'll change my party for the sole purpose of making the party whose nomination I'm running for look bad! Maybe you're bribing me or something to change my party for the past several years!"
I mean, you're calling this guy a plant. How does that make a lick of sense?
Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman apologized to one of the nation's largest black civil rights groups Thursday, saying Republicans had not done enough to court blacks in the past and had exploited racial strife to court white voters, particularly in the South.
"Some Republicans gave up on winning the African-American vote, looking the other way or trying to benefit politically from racial polarization," Mehlman said at the annual convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "I am here today as the Republican chairman to tell you we were wrong."
Mehlman's apology to the NAACP at the group's convention in Milwaukee marked the first time a top Republican Party leader has denounced the so-called Southern Strategy employed by Richard Nixon and other Republicans to peel away white voters in what was then the heavily Democratic South. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Republicans encouraged disaffected Southern white voters to vote Republican by blaming pro-civil rights Democrats for racial unrest and other racial problems.

I'm not calling this guy anything, I'm saying it's funny that all of a sudden you have a dem and a repub going for the same office....now, this race will be close....but the dems need a win.....so all of a sudden...this 3rd person who has been a dem for a long time says, I've changed my mind and now I'm a dem.....
And just so happens to pull enough votes to take away the win from the actual republican..
You truly and honestly do not see that connection? Really?
He sounds like a Democrat. Which fits since the Klan was started by the Dems.
You're right the KKK was started by Democrats, CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS.
These Southern Conservatives stayed in the Democratic Party right up until the Civil Rights of 1964. Then Barry Goldwater and other Republican Conservatives started singing their tune.
In 1964, Goldwater ran a conservative campaign that emphasized "states' rights."[15] Goldwater's 1964 campaign was a magnet for conservatives since he opposed interference by the federal government in state affairs. Although he had supported all previous federal civil rights legislation and had supported the original senate version of the bill, Goldwater made the decision to oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964. His stance was based on his view that the act was an intrusion of the federal government into the affairs of states and, second, that the Act interfered with the rights of private persons to do business, or not, with whomever they chose.[16]
All this appealed to white Southern Democrats, and Goldwater was the first Republican to win the electoral votes of the Deep South states (Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina) since Reconstruction. However, Goldwater's vote on the Civil Rights Act proved devastating to his campaign everywhere outside the South (besides Dixie, Goldwater won only in Arizona, his home state), contributing to his landslide defeat in 1964.
How effective was Goldwater's Strategy? The maps of the electoral college of the 1960 and 1964 tell the story.

1964 Electoral College Map
After Barry Goldwater future Republican incoporated Goldwaters strategy as a NATIONAL POLITICAL STRATEGY called the SOUTHERN STRATEGY.
In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the late-20th century Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism among Southern white voters and appealing to states' rights. Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats left the party following the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.
The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon in the late 1960s and continued through the latter decades of the 20th century under presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush.[1] The strategy was successful in achieving its goals; it led to the electoral realignment of Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the Democratic Party. As the 20th century came to a close, the Republican Party began trying to appeal again to black voters, though with little success.[1] During the 2000s decade, Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy in the previous century. Michael Steele served as the party's first African-American chairman from January 2009-January 2011.

You say in one sentence that you're not calling the guy anything, but in the last sentence you seem to criticize me for not thinking that the guy is some sort of plant.
People tend not to run for office as pure puppets in order to play some fourth dimensional chess, people run for office because they want to win public office.

Fourth dimensional chess? That sounds pretty complicated to me.
I'm quite sure that his simple (aka: uncomplicated) motivation is nothing but good old fashioned (dem) cash!

If you're going to accuse somebody of taking a bribe to run for public office on a third party, you should have the slightest bit of evidence to support it. Otherwise somebody might just think you were throwing baseless accusations at people without actually caring whether it was true or not!
Them thar ole Democrats had best get themsefs a bunch uh "Smarts" ! Or "Keep On Ah Wearin Yer "Dunce Caps" !
