Lincoln suspended habeus corpus rights. Therefore, all Republicans to this day have no respect for them. You can run from your history or accept it.
Atwater was one political consultant among many. He was also a decent guitarist. And GOP inroads in the South predated him by 20 years. Btw, I have my problems with the Repubs too, but your form of gasbaggery is just too much fun to puncture.:lamo
I'm quite prepared to accept that, and why not? Now will you accept the fact that the Democrats were the party of racists since prior to the Civil War? I really don't see where their bigotry has ceased in any meaningful way.
Like I said, CONservatives are NEVER on the correct side of history!
Sure, sure, and Rushbo just is one of many right wing hate talkers *shaking head*

Tell that to the 4,000+ men and women who died to make Iran the regional power house.
Iraq was the mess from the first day. You just have exceptionally poor partisan memory. Remember the rampant looting? Tell me how that wasn't a mess.
Your MO is to blame the Democrats for everything and pretend that Republican time was rainbows and butterflies.
Any word on ISIS' troop numbers, armament, or organization?
I mean... They're not a professional army, and they're don't have the backing of a nation state behind them (as far as I'm aware, anyway). It seems odd that they'd be able to make this kind of head way so quickly, especially against a relatively well-supplied national army with heavily armored units and air power at its disposal.
Are the Iraqis simply not putting up a fight? Is the local population rising up to support the invaders?
Something about this just doesn't seem right. They've basically taken half the damn country.

The Iraqi Army is disentigrating. It's not hard to see why ISIS is moving so fast, against almost non-existant resistance.
As far as armaments go, ISIS will be well equipped after they capture the Iraqi Army's equipment.

Hubert Humphrey was not considered a serious threat, and he and Wallace were appealing to opposite constituencies.
The American Experience | George Wallace: Settin' the Woods on Fire | People & Events | 1968 Campaign
To hippies who said he was a Nazi, he replied, “I was killing fascists when you punks were in diapers.” Another memorable quote: “They’re building a bridge over the Potomac for all the white liberals fleeing to Virginia.”
The Wallace campaign was comfortably ahead in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Wallace’s aides insisted that the campaign focus on winning the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee.

That mess was cleaned up.
Now, we have a bigger, more deadly mess. Let's try and deal with the present and not some irrelevant fact that is 11 years old.

Morale and leadership must be virtually non-existent for things to be going this catastrophically wrong.
I also have to imagine that the invaders are getting support from local Sunni groups. That's basically the only way these kinds of gains are feasible.
They simply wouldn't have the manpower otherwise.
Yeah, THAT'S why 90% of blacks vote Dems, how many GOP party leaders showed up at the anniversary to MLK's speech last year? lol
They've liberated a lot of cash since their invasion, but I agree that they had serious financial support before they launched their offensive. There's no telling where from. Russia perhaps? The Chinese?
Or his nap as Boner charged.Don't worry........Barack has got this.....as soon as he comes off the back nine
They were, but what's really desperate is your attempt to put that on today's Democrats.
O'rly? Bombings were occurring on the day US forces left Iraq. Iraq never got fixed. The US never solved the secretarian divisions. We watched a pro-Iranian regime get elected into office. We never fully recovered the thousands of items looted from the museums US forces failed to guard during the invasion. Your memory is so ragingly out of control partisan that you ignore the sacrifices 4,000+ men and women made for basically nothing. If anyone is anti-American and anti-military, it is you right now for your white washing of the Iraq debacle.
The Iraqi government failed to control their country. They also refused to agree to exempt international assistance forces from the Iraqi Judicial system. That was a requirement for the SOFA. It is their mess and their mess alone. I know you are DYING to blame this on Obama, but only a raging out of control partisan hack would ignore the issue with the SOFA. Furthermore, you have to be exceptionally delusional to think we know you wouldn't immediately blame Obama for agreeing to the Iraqi demands for a SOFA.
Again, your MO is to blame the Democrats for everything and pretend that Republican time was rainbows and butterflies. You are one of the most obvious partisan hacks on the forum. See Ockam's post? He gets why the SOFA died. Do you see him blaming Obama? Not. At. All.
Limbaugh is Limbaugh. Not a spokesman for any party.eace
Now for the thread topic, do you support GOP warhawks wanting another round of Iraq ?I agree that many Blacks vote for the Democrats and have never understood why. The same with Jews.
Of course bombs were going off as we were leaving, because...we were leaving!
As I stated before, this is what happens when you give the bad guys a heads up that you're breaking camp.

Seems Wallace did quite well up north in the Democrat Primaries.

Who knows. I wouldn't put it past Putin, though it seems somewhat unlikely given ISIS' antagonistic relationship with Syria.
Didn't Reagan win the Cold War? or do you have a liberal slogan that explains THAT away?
