Supporting a guy because you are both anti-semites is nothing like endorsing a civil rights leader like Jesse Jackson. Again, Hollings had a ton of choices in the 88 primary, most of which would have been better for him in a self-interested, political mindset. But he chose to endorse not just a black guy, but a black guy who had made his career advocating for civil rights for black people and is just about as strongly opposed to segregation and such laws as a person can possibly be.

Jesse Jackson has publicly admitted to spitting in white people's food.

So what you're saying, is that a guy who's racist against black people, endorsed a guy who's racist against white people, so the racism cancels out and the Democrats aren't racist?

Yes, he is THAT dumb.

No.  They were both racist, albeit against different raes.  Birds of a feather flock together, you know.

Man man man, you can admit that you were wrong sometimes.
Byrd and Hollings are aracist for you but Hoekstra isn't. You always think that republicans are good people and democrats are the bad people... You're like a kid (maybe you ARE a kid). And even when you know that what you're saying is a piece of sh**t, you keep saying the same sh**t instead of recognizing you were wrong. And that's because you are a dumb. Because silly people think they're always right.


Oh, and I have two questions for you:

1) Are you sure you have Asperger syndrome? Isn't it another kind of syndrome?
2) Why did Storm Thurmond became a republican?

1. I was diagnosed with Asperger's when I was four years old.
2. Strom Thurmond may have become a Republican because of race, but most of the segregationists never switched parties, and most of them that did had reasons that had nothing to do with race. 
3. What I've said is backed up by historical evidence.  I realize that there are bad Republicans and good Democrats, but those people seem to be in the minority, in my opinion.

You provethat not every Aspy is intelligent

BTW, segregationists never switched parties because they died/had no time/voted republican no matter what was their registration, but their sons (and daughters, but specially sons) are republican people now. So, what's you point?
What historical evidence? Pat Buchanan and Washington Times being your main source means that what you have is fictional evidence.

I've done a lot of reading on this stuff.  Herman Talmadge was a Democrat in 1980; Sam Ervin was a Democrat during Watergate, and Al Gore Sr. (who filibustered against the 1964 CRA) was the father of Al Gore.  Hardly an example of a segregationist's son being a Republican.   And as for my intelligence, I have had three semesters in college, and I had a 4.0 GPA for two of them.

3 people prove nothing.
How do you explain that Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia... were one-party states, where democrats usually got more than 90% of the vote, and now, white people in those states go 85-15% for the GOP in most cases? Aren't these white, racist people (not all of them are racist, of course) the sons and daughters of segregationist people who used to vote democrat?

You're not intelligent, man. You're very, very stupid. Intelligent people don't talk about their intelligence. Even more if that intelligence is a fiction.

Yeah, but most of their sons and daughters are probably not racists or segregationists, mostly because of the brave Republicans (and some Democrats later on) who fought and died to end segregation.

Actually, the Negro has been betrayed by both the Republican and the Democratic party. The Democrats have betrayed him by capitulating to the whims and caprices of the Southern Dixiecrats. The Republicans have betrayed him by capitulating to the blatant hypocrisy of reactionary right wing northern Republicans. And this coalition of southern Dixiecrats and right wing reactionary northern Republicans defeats every bill and every move towards liberal legislation in the area of civil rights.

In the past I always voted the Democratic ticket. I felt that Kennedy would make the best president. I never came out with an endorsement. My father did, but I never made one. Had President Kennedy lived, I would probably have endorsed him in 1964.

In Minnesota, I am not sure Rod Grams and Gil Gutknecht are the best choices.  Here are two guys that were thrown out of office and the state hasn't, frankly, been that friendly to Republicans since.

Democrats have been able to do the "politics of the past" thing pretty well so I don't know if it's a good idea to keep feeding that meme.

That being said, in MN, do we even have a bench? The DFL runs everything now.

Coleman is my choice in MN. It's sad they elected a joker in Al Franken.
