[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People seem to forget the actual Klansman was a member of the Democratic party[/quote]

Already mentioned that Strom Thurmand was a Democrat, who became Republican in 1964, year of the Civil Rights Act.[/quote]

The post wasn't talking about Strom, but a different Senator who was feted by other Senators like Chris Dodd. 'There is no time in history that couldn't have used him, World War 2, the Civil War'.

Yes, that other senator, Byrd from WVA, disavowed his time as a klansman and help pass important civil rights legislation through the end of his careers - as a democrat. He didn't switch parties like the other southern dems, like thurmond.

Face it, the GOP today is the segregationalist party of the 1850-1950's...and for all of the manipulation the GOP takes - gerrymandering, voter suppression, running astrotruf third party candidates to dilute left votes (see Sinema and Jill Stein to name two) at the end of the day, the GOP will not be able to overcome this:

So, in actuality, switching parties may pay off over the next two years, but if the under 30 counteract the over 65 vote, then the Dems win easily for the next several cycles.[/quote]
