      <![CDATA[It is not a criticism. It is merely a fact. You Repubs never disappoint. If we're going to talk history Theo, we ought to begin with the president that current Arkansas Republican leadership rejected in continuing to try to get Loy Mauch elected -- Abraham Lincoln.<br>
<br>
I expect Republicans to elect their guy. Why wouldn't they? But they'll pay at least a tiny political price. The past is a bucket of ashes, as Lincoln biographer Carl Sandberg once wrote. The present is what counts. In Arkansas and Mississippi and similar, the Republican Party holds firm to the Southern strategy and evangelical guidance, while the majority of the country moves in the opposite direction. We have always been late to trends. We join one today as it is eroding. Short-term gains, long-term problems.

<br>
That partisan reason being they have the majority?!  There are legitimate criticisms to be made, but this isn't one of them.

      <![CDATA[And may I remind you Theodosius that many of these Faubus/"Justice Jim"/Wallace "Dixiecrats" went straight into the arms of the GOP after Nixon and especially during the Reagan era with such tropes as "....I didn't leave the democrat(ic) party, the democrats left me..."  While the Arkansas Democratic party has pretty well flushed out the neo-Confederates out of its ranks, the Arkansas GOP has embraced them.

      <![CDATA[So they should vote for him because of the color of his skin?  Okay, got it.  That's clearly not racist.  And RYD, I suspect if Darrin wants to switch and become Republican they'd vote for him.  I'm sure some of them are racist bigots.  Just as I'm sure some Country Caucus Democrats are racist bigots.  (You did hear of Faubus, right?  And Wallace?  You were aware Ike nationalized the Guard and Ike was Republican?  And Win Rockefeller was Republican?)  Don't preach to Repubs about racism.  99% of all racist crap in this state was enacted and defended to the death by Democrats.

      <![CDATA[The AR Party of NO TOLERANCE won't <br>
tolerate a black President, so there is no<br>
way in hell they will tolerate a black Democrat<br>
as Speaker of the House when they are the<br>
majority party. And, they will look us in the<br>
eye and tell us they aren't racist bigots.<br>
Yeah-right!
