Hillary backs Tubman on $20

[bobloblaw]

Ill stick with Jackson

[bobloblaw]

So she has a position on which woman should be on the $20, but can't say her position on TPP? Pathetic.

I wish I had a $100 prize to give you.

Jackson was the founder of her party though...

Lincoln was the first President from the Republican party, but the current GOP could hardly care about him, so...

Which why the GOP still has Lincoln Day Dinner. It is the Dem party in its pandering to minorities that wants to dump the founder of the modern day Dem party a guy who stood against banks and for the little man.

The dumping of Jackson is all you need to know about today's Dem party. Elitist, coastal, anti-American history and culture. They should suggest Rigoberta Menchu for ther $20.

Which why the GOP still has Lincoln Day Dinner. (except a whole bunch of republican organisations have changed it to "reagan day dinner" *gag*) It is the Dem party in its pandering to minorities (how dare they!? obviously minorities deserve no attention whatsoever) that wants to dump the founder of the modern day (1820s is basically modern day, right?) Dem party a guy who stood against banks (except for ones run by his cronies, he fckin' loved those) and for the little  man (as long as he was white, anyway. but that's the only kind of person who matters, right?).

The dumping of Jackson is all you need to know about today's Dem party. Elitist (unlike mitt "47%" romney), coastal (like over 60% of the u.s. population), anti-American history and culture (america has never done anything bad, ever! if you disagree you are clearly anti-american). They should suggest Rigoberta Menchu (an unabashedly anti-elitist freedom fighter) for ther $20.

a good post.

p.s.: bobloblaw, andrew jackson committed actual, literal genocide. no doubt if democrats were singing his praises you would be comparing them to nazis.

A poster above correctly noted LBJ. The worst war criminal in US History

So many dumb posts in this thread that it makes my head hurt (and I'm uncharacteristically hungover today, so it's especially painful).  I'll drop two comments:

1. NO local GOP chapter has dropped Lincoln from the annual dinner's name, and I've never seen one that isn't called the Lincoln-Reagan dinner.  So let's stop with that narrative.  Southerners generally don't like Lincoln as much as the rest of the country, and that was the case when they mostly voted Democrat, too.  It's hardly a trait that inherently relates to Republicanism.

2. This is a great idea.  Not shockingly, bolboblow, or whatever the hell his name is, would rather have the racist founder of the Democratic Party on the bill than an iconic Republican who fought slavery...

Lincoln is already on a bill.
