Seriously, it's not until the Democratic Party starts its left-ward shift in the 80's that the South begins to shift Republican - because the Yellow Dogs simply weren't a force any longer.

Originally posted by Teallaura View PostNo, they weren't. They were card carrying Democrats - most until they died.

By the time the South becomes strongly Republican, most of that generation was in decline or dying off.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

The obvious implication is that white people are less likely than minorities to be poor, which reveals Biden's low opinion of non-whites.

I think Jim is giving Biden a run for his money!

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostMost of those Dixiecrats, being yellow dog Democrats, would never switch to the Republican Party. That's why they were called Dixiecrats not Dixiecans.

Stop trying to rewrite history. The Democrats WERE the Southern party - the Dixiecrats were an offshoot that ran its course and went back to the Democratic party. Civil Rights did cause a rift in that party - but it didn't split until MUCH later and for different reasons."He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
