Interesting reply...
The main difference is that the wealthy Democrats actually vote against their own interests. They support higher taxes on the rich, more programs to help working Americans and the poor.
Republicans only support the wealthy......heap more benefits on the top and eventually it will trickle down in jobs and prosperity for all
I keep hearing that SAID but where's the beef? Where is the tax increase on the wealthy? Where? Democrats are the majority party and they have not fought to raise taxes on the rich they only give it lip service. They could have dropped Bush's tax cuts, but didn't. They had a 4 month supermajority Senate and didn't raise taxes, could have but didn't. What is so disingenuous about the rich democrats is how they pretend they would raise taxes on themselves if only the MINORITY party allowed them too. Elections have consequences so we are told yet one consequence certainly isn't raising taxes on themselves. Besides the tax system of the US is voluntary, so we are told. If the rich democrats think they should pay more then there is absolutely nothing stopping them.
Where have you been the last five years? Dems have done nothing but fight for a return to pre-Bush tax rates for the wealthy......Repubs held the country hostage and fought to preserve those rates
Think of where this country was in 2009... Colapsing economy, massive unemployment. All the Republicans fought for was preserving their tax rates on the wealthy while they complained that the poor don't pay enough in taxes
Those are remarkable statistics
They show when Republicans used to actually care about Americans
They still do, supporting real freedom is the ultimate in caring for Americans, supporting slavery to the government feeding trougth is the ultimate is not caring.
you have it totally backwards, norton. too much time breathing sewer gas?
Thanks for reminding us how great the Republican Party used to be. It is part of the reason I became a Republican. They were the party that cared about working Americans. The party of equal rights
But then, a radical shift occurred. They became the unabashed party of the rich. Trickle down was their mantra......take care of the rich and they will take care of you
The working class became the enemy
There is no denying this reality:Interesting reply...

The GOP's every action is guided primarily by their subservience to the wealthy.

Notice how these claims are never backed by anything other then opinion? It has been 7 years of the democrats controlling at least 2/3s of the government and no tax increase. 7 years and the minority party is blamed. Simply amazing bit of propaganda.

How many times must you be smacked down until you realize you really don't know the difference between reality and just repeating the same old liberal talking points?
You didn't know about supermajority.
You have not produced on initiative from the rich democrats who pushed for a higher tax and didn't get it.
You just keep repeating the same damn propaganda.

lying, its what they do best------following the example of their savior, the liar in chief, Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama.
omg 2 people decided to contest what basically everyone else is saying, I better believe it to be perfectly correct!!! rather than dispute the fact that the southern strategy existed, it states that people did not switch because of the southern strategy, but rather because of economic beliefs13th amendment: abolished slavery
100% republican support, 23% democrat support
14th amendment: gave citizenship to freed slaves
94% republican support, 0% democrat support
15th amendment: right to vote for all
100% republican support, 0% democrat support
Obamacare
0% republican support
100% democrat support
Need I say more?
yes, actually
you forgot the southern strategy and the shift in party bases during the FDR era
I assume you believe in all myths.
Oh gosh you get the Canard Award.
The Myth of the Southern Strategy
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/10/magazine/10Section2b.t-4.html?_r=0
Its an easy story to believe, but this year two political scientists called it into question. In their book The End of Southern Exceptionalism, Richard Johnston of the University of Pennsylvania and Byron Shafer of the University of Wisconsin argue that the shift in the South from Democratic to Republican was overwhelmingly a question not of race but of economic growth. In the postwar era, they note, the South transformed itself from a backward region to an engine of the national economy, giving rise to a sizable new wealthy suburban class. This class, not surprisingly, began to vote for the party that best represented its economic interests: the G.O.P. Working-class whites, however and heres the surprise even those in areas with large black populations, stayed loyal to the Democrats. (This was true until the 90s, when the nation as a whole turned rightward in Congressional voting.)
Was Jefferson Davis a liberal?
I notice the Freewilligan failed to answer this question.Hey big tawker, how many blacks have republicans elected to Congress in the last, oh 80 years?Did You Know? | Frederick Douglass Republican | Turning Values Into Votes In 2012 And Beyond
Did You Know?
<...ridiculous reactionary propaganda snipped...>
Care to guess?
lol.Was Jefferson Davis a liberal?
More so then Lincoln.
It seems that the OP and his pals would like us to believe that the GOP is the party that really has the interests of minorities at heart.
But, they cannot seem to convince minorities of this.
Why? Why is that? Multiple choice:
A) Minorities are uneducated and cannot be trusted to know what is good for them.
B) The Democrat controlled media is influencing minorities to hate the GOP.
C) Democrats have bought the full support of minorities with free phones and food stamps.
D) The premise of the OP is ridiculous on its face.
E) Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Hey Redfish: Tel us again about how thethat is simply not true, you have fallen victim to the media propaganda.

either way, democrats did embrace the civil rights movement for blacks in the 50s and 60s, basically invalidating the entire argument that the modern Democratic Party is the racist party

15th Amendment provided for "the right to vote for all"

Certainly that was the intent if one considers race as everyone.
15th Amendment
<c&p snipped>
Of course now we know it still didn't protect blacks. The democrats were still able to block them by voting through poll taxes, Jim Crow a host of other dirty legislation to block the black freedom.
Freewilligan should have told the last two RNC chairmen how they didn't have to apologize for the Southern Strategy.
After all, it didn't happen.
I will admit they were asses for apologizing for something that didn't happen. That is the problem with the Republican party right now they are trying their hardest, for some reason, to be Democrats. BTW where is the appolgy for slavery from the DNC?
IF Nixon waged the Soutern Stratergy as that idiot is appolgizing for then certainly the racists didn't get their money's worth:
Things Nixon did concerning race:
Among the significant actions taken by President Nixon to benefit minorities was increasing the budget for civil rights programs. From 1969 – 1972 the funds were increased from 75 million to more than 600 million.
President Nixon initiated the Emergency School Act with 1,500,000 to help end school segregation and pay for promotion of interracial experiences among children where racial isolation existed.
The Department of Defense initiated actions to overcome off-base discrimination against black military personnel.
President Nixon issued an Executive Order calling on Federal agencies to apply Equal Opportunity (EO) policies to every aspect of personnel policies and practices.
President Nixon allocated 12 million dollars for Sickle Cell research. This disease afflicts one out of every 500 black children.
From 1969 to 1971, the government’s Federal purchases from black businesses increased to 142,000,000 from 13,000,000.
In 1969 President Nixon issued an Executive order creating an Office of Minority Business Enterprise in the Department of Commerce.
The Nixon Administration requested legislation to extend the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) authority to the state and local level. Most importantly, President Nixon mandated that federal contractors must comply with equal employment opportunity laws.
This initiative, known as “The Philadelphia Plan”, led to the dismantling of institutionalized racism in labor unions which excluded minorities from skilled trades. The Administration was the first to institute plans to increase job opportunities for minorities in the construction industry. The President, however, did more than just order others to hire minorities. He took the lead by appointing what was then a record number of African-Americans within his Administration. To alleviate racial strife within the military, he founded a race relations school, a bold concept which served as a precursor to today’s diversity programs.
President Nixon believed that education could be a great equalizer. To enhance equal educational opportunity in our nation’s colleges and universities, he used both the carrot and the stick. For example, the Internal Revenue Service prohibited tax deductions for contributions to segregated schools. On the other hand, from 1969 to 1973, federal aid to predominantly black colleges and universities more than doubled to $200 million as a result of the Administration’s efforts to level the playing field between historically black colleges and major colleges. For schools with more than 50 per-cent of students below the poverty line, the Administration waived the requirement to secure matching funds to qualify for work-study grants. This waiver was a boon for black colleges and universities.
