Re: Arkansas GOPer: Slavery was a blessing in disguise for blacks

I'm hoping this guy is like those random NH legislators who get swept in on waves even when they're not ready for prime time. Does anyone know if he's likely to get entrenched in this district?

To be quite fair, I don't think any of these random NH legislators we elected are as batsh**t insane as this guy. Even these random no-names who come from districts with 2000 voters have either been all sane or smart enough to keep their mouths shut.

The worst-case scenario would have been the guy who advocated shooting cops a few years ago.

Actually, the vast majority of them were Democrats and stayed Democrats.  Even Thurmond was a Democrat before he became a Republican.  A few segregationists were Republicans, but they were still overwhelmingly Democrat.  I realize that both parties have had their civil rights failings and their civil rights triumphs, but Republicans were much stronger on civil rights for most of our history, and that is one reason (though not the only one) that I identify myself as a Republican.

Stop being a pedantic partisan hack.
