First, the only thing...You're wrong on every issue. First, the only thing remaining of the "Party of Lincoln" in the current Republican Party is the name. The transformation started under FDR and was essentially completed during the civil rights era when most of the racist Dixiecrats in the South switched from Democrat to Republican.<BR/><BR/>And most thinking people can clearly see that the racist, sexist, and homophobic tendencies is endemic to the Republican Party, thus, it is not even a debate worth addressing.<BR/><BR/>Just look at the last election. One of the primary reasons the GOP lost was that they focused to heavily on trying to portray Obama as "different" rather than the issues that concerned the American people. The American people were worried about losing their children in the greedfest in Iraq and losing their homes, while the GOP was busy trying to portray Obam as a possible terrorist.<BR/><BR/>And click onto youtube and take just a cursory look at the Republican convention's idea of inclusion--it looked like the Jolly White Giant in the beginning stages of chickenpox.<BR/><BR/>But with all that said, I have to admit that I can't accurately accuse the GOP leadership of being racist, because they don't care anymore about poor and middle class White people than they do Blacks. With them it's all about power, dollars and cents--dollars for them, and the total lacking of common sense among their base.Eric L.
