Foley is the Left of the Republican Party – he's just too stupid and arrogant to know it. This turd's been dropped in the bowl. It's time to flush.

babyfatt you must be kidding? I am not going to reprint my article on the history of the Democrat Party but I encourage you to read it. Those racist you speak of all were Democrats and almost everyone of them died a Democrat. The racist hate filled comments you speak of continue to come from the Democrat side of the isle as did the KKK as a wing of the Democrat Party.

Remember Dr. Kind and Dr. Abernathy were both Republicans as were the founders of the NAACP, but I am sure yo will have an answer for that as well.

I would encourage you to read a little about history and the so called “southern strategy” and look at stuff from folks like Michael Baron who talk about why the South went for Republicans. I am sure there are some racist folks out there but it had to do with secularism and the move to the hard left by the democrats on things like abortion and prayer in schools. Stop trying to spit out tlaking points that are false, no matter how many times people say them they still are false………

Dearest “Tripp”, while it's easy to pick on the South, it's easy for a reason: it's deeply, offensively racist and backward, and, as a region, is a drag on the rest of the country. Baby Fatt came from deep deep South, my brother (my great great grandfather fought with Nathan Bedford Forest in the Army of Tennessee, and was from Pulaski Tennessee, where a bunch of good ole boys later got together to form a social club they called the KKK), and have no doubt, where Baby Fatt came from they know exactly how to refer to Obama, and it ain't “President Elect”!. Get real, Tripp, the R's ran and won for years on the “Southern Strategy” (i.e., the use of code words like 'law and order' to appeal to white racism). Does the South have a monopoly on racism, no absolutely not, but don't think for a minute that they don't do it better than anyone else. Your problem is the “on the other handism” that affects and pollutes so much of the MSM–why are you so afraid of calling out racism when you see it? Yes, we all have something we can learn from the “fascinating” dialogue the R's are going to have about how history has passed them by–how they figure out to sell us the same old crap under new wrapping. Get real brother. Hate is hate, and trying to empathize with the haters makes you complicit.

Thank you for the response. I do believe Heather Wilson did a good job but as I am sure you can appreciate I do not agree with her or almost anyone 100% of the time. I am a proud Republican because of the founding principals of my party. That doesn't mean there hasn't been some who have strayed or been flat out wrong, my article is about getting back to what I believe is actually important and that is the simple principals we should believe if we are really conservative. I appreciate your comments and look forward to more of them in the future.

Ok fine, if you say so then so be it and thank you doing so. I apologize for incorrectly stating your position. But I fail to see how you can be a proud Republican when you have supported those Republicans responsible for growing government and trampling civil liberties. That includes Heather Wilson.

I was agains the Patriot Act and expressed so to the President in person! I am not and never have approved of growing government at any level. As a matter of fact I am on record trying to shrink government and give more power to the government closes to the people (City Council, School Board, County Commission, etc).

The “clear” Democrat victory, if we are so wrong then how come the losses are not what was predicted and let me add the Prop 8 loss in California.
