DNC strategy 2012: winning With Out Whites (WOW!)

George Wallace (D) Ran in 72 & 76 for Democrat Nomination as POTUS , why do you keep bringing up Strom Thrurmond in 48 ?

 

Thurmond ran for President in '48 and was rejected, and then served in the Senate, switching parties and becoming a Republican in '64 as a reaction to being left behind by the Democrats as a dinosaur, and following Goldwater's lead as being against civil rights legislation. He fought against it his whole career and saw the Republicans as the place to be to continue his fight, as there was no place for him in the Democratic party. He is the perfect exemplar for what happened between the two parties.
The question is, why don't you want to talk about him?

 

Because between 48 & 78 Most Southern Democrats still had lotsa Support from the Klan (Both at the polls & Monetarily & as a lobby) especially on a Local & State Level (Well past 63)

 

Goldwater, you mean the man who as Governor of Arizona led the nation in ordering the State National Guard to end segregation, even before Truman did so for the United States Military. Goldwater had concerns with the constitutionality of ordering private business who the had to do business with at all, did the government have such authority under the Constitution, not that business SHOULD descriminate. He fully supported the principle that government could not discriminate.

By the time Thurmond shifted parties the Republicans had won the fight for Civil Rights and Voting Rights.

 

By 1964!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are addled, my friend.

 

There was the 1957 bill and then the 1964 bill. The fight was over when Thurmond switched parties.

Here's a quick summary of the movement. Note the Civil Rights Act of 1965 and the assassinations of 1968.
The fight was over in 1964? It was heating up, my friend. The South fought back.

 

As I said earlier, I lived the movement. I got my ass kick in junior high school because I befriend one of the first blacks who attended the school. I became the VP of the Teenage Republicans because it was the Democrats who were the segregationist. We were MOST DEFINATELY the minority pary. Yes the legislative battles were over long before the shift in party affiliation began in the South. The Civil Rights act was passed in 64 with the ancillary Voting Rights act in 65, the South remained democrat for years afterwards and did not make a substantial shift until Reagan on a national level. Nixon of course won in a national landslide but that was about the Viet Nam war nor racial issues.

Sorry to burst your bubble that the liberal MSM has created but it was the Democrat party that stood in the way of Civil Rights for 150 years while the Republican Party fought for it. Same with women's suffrage.

 

No one is denying the history behind the parties. What is in question is the "now" of them. The national party cut off the south with the Kennedys. Their legislative agenda proves it, and Johnson's famous quote shows they knew exactly what they were doing.

 

It did nothing of the sort and many Democrats served in national and state offices for years. You know the DNC is engaged in state elections too. The Democrats just recently lost Alabama and Mississippi on the state level and add Louisiana to that with Jindal as governor. The fact remains the Democratic Party was the party of the segregationist, the racist. NOT the Republican Party.

 

Ditto ,this is Historical Fact ! (Get Over it)

 

The Communist attack on the American Freedom of Association/Freedom of Assembly ---> (First Amendment) began long before the 1960s. New York lawyers of Eastern European origin had been scraping for Communism ever since they formed the NAACP, the Communist Party USA, and the ADL. These Marxist infiltrator worms are still hard at work, destroying our European identity, traditions, and undermining the Christian foundations of America.

Yet we still sit here scratching out heads as to why our country is turning into a Third World toilet run at the whims of New York bankers and New York activist lawyer politicians...

 

Where is the freedom to worship any god of your choosing or none at all in Christianity?

How about freedom of speech?
Habeous Corpus?
Right to a trial by a jury of your peers.
A federal republic form of government.

Obama To Bill Clinton: "You're A Racist."----Clinton Calls Obama: "The Worst President Ever."

Having served 8 years in the post himself, one must agree that W.J. Clinton could be considered to be one of the best judges of Presidential performance, or non-performance in the case of b.o.

Clinton was a southern state Democrat Governor. At least one Democrat still thinks the southerners are 'racist.' b.o. hisownself.
Liberals is silly as all hell!
