The alleged "southern strategy" is an issue almost a 1/2 century old. Only Dems pull stuff out of their play book that is that old.
Was Gore race baiting when he first mentioned Willie Horton when running against Dukakis for the nomination?
One need only listen to the Rev to understand what he's all about.
Gingrich was correct. Its was the left that choose to take an accurate statement about the increase in food stamp recipients under Obama and make it racist.
I believe the Reagan used the term "welfare queen", not "welfare mom". Please try to be more accurate with your quotes!
