Democrats controlled both houses the South Carolina legislature from 1878-1994. A Democratic legislature and a Democratic governor (who served as a proud Democrat in the United States Senate until 2005) were responsible for the Confederate battle flag being raised over the state capital in 1962 in large part in defiance of desegregation. The ex-governor is still alive. He's still a Democrat. A Republican, David Beasley, was the governor who gathered momentum to take the flag from the main part of the statehouse off to a Confederate war memorial. Nikki Haley, another Republican, will be governor as the flag is finally removed from statehouse grounds, largely due to her behest. The Republican Party will still catch every last piece of blame for the flag's existence.

Lol

I heard Lincoln was a Republican who freed the slaves. That means Republicans today are the party of equality and respect for minorities. Except dirty raping Mexicans.

Boehner's yet again put in the position of taking hits for procedural dumbassery - forget the charged issue, just plain clodhopperishness in handling the governing job.

Imagine M'Cannon in a presser defending having his pitchers throw until arm tendons just start snapping mid-delivery. "Shee-yah, we're a'running a major-league operation here in Philelfia, 'course we are"

What the hell was the point of shutting down the country's economy basically for two weeks? Wonder how his party will take this. And if the creditors will accept it.

I'm still not getting why our politics guy is thinking about this Greece thing as if he were a banking guy

This means what? The point of him shutting down the country was self preservation political not outcome oriented so he could be shown to be doing something (when at the end of the day he wasn't really doing anything)? Maybe more Greek voters should have muddled their dislike of austerity with their distaste for Tspiras and voted yes then.

it's a really bad and stupid Republican talking point that morons the caliber of Gavin McGinnes will relay, hours removed from abusing cocaine and sex workers - the idea that because the the Democratic party of the 1800s through the 1960s had very strong racist elements, the perception of that party has to be preserved in amber and we have to disregard the active racism of the Republican party and the evolution of the Democratic mindset because Demz r thu real racistzss durrrrr.

Why do prostitutes make you wear a condom when it's just a blow job? Because they can.

He's Glaswegian

by **Youseff** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 10:56:35

he's the guy they trot out when they want to pretend they're hip and with it.

by **jerseyhoya** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 10:59:26

The name is vaguely familiar. I don't think he's the guy "they" trot out when "they" want to pretend they're hip and with it. I couldn't have picked him out of a lineup before Google searching him 5 minutes ago.

OK, fine. Kevin Sorbo, Chuck Norris, Buzzfeed Benny, then McInnes.

by **jerseyhoya** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 11:26:59

I just learned Kevin Sorbo was a conservative.
