State local and national support of candidates I worked actively on campaigns and through about 1980 the old republican party still stood. I ran as a Republican for office in the 90s in a three county race for public office. However, the democratic dixiecrats who had created Jim Crow laws to limit the freedom of black people in this country left in droves the Democratic party from 1968 to the mid eighties. Those people who joined the Republican Party stood with Wallace at the school door, and did not want equality for Black Americans. Now you think that the criticism of the President who is a black man is strictly originating from his policies. Really. Is that what you believe?
My Republican Party were fighters for equal justice and opportunity for every man to reach their full potential. Abe Lincoln to this day is part of our party dinners each February. Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive trust buster who took the consolidation of wealth and special interests and busted them......all the while promoting conservation of our natural resources and environment. A true conservative who wanted a fair game. That is once one Republicans stood for.....we are fewer this day, but I listen to the newcomers talk racism....pure racism, and you simple deny reality.
It is REALLY is tough for you accept facts isn't it?
