What's the best way to turn a Democrat into a Republican?

He said they are both conservative “and the Democratic Party has been our home. The party had conservatives and liberals both in the party. [But] this election showed us the liberal wing of the Democratic Party is very, very strong. If your’e a conservative, it became more difficult to be in the Democratic Party.”

“Since the first Democratic lawmaker bolted to the Republican Party, left-leaning activists have mocked and ridiculed those individuals as being self-serving people only looking for ways to remain in office,” Walker told the AJC. “But I’m not an elected official. I don’t hold public office. I’m not trying to protect my seat. I don’t have a seat to protect. I’m just a regular citizen with a healthy interest in the political process, and I’m joining the GOP because of ideology.”

Walker, who has been increasingly critical of the Democratic Party in recent weeks, said he looks “forward to convincing other people who look like me that it’s okay to vote Republican and support Republican candidates. It’s time for the black vote to be competitive again.”

Okay....

You have to hand it to the Democrat party, however, to convince so many people that the traditional racist party in American politics has been the GOP, not Andrew Jackson's white knight party. LOL

I had a thread about that a few years back. It ended with people insisting that all that Jim Crow crap happened "before the two parties changed their names."

That's because the GOP opposed the Civil Rights Act far more than the Democrats did.

I keep reminding people, that "Honest" Jack Murtha had to remind the party that his constituency might not be so warm to the idea of a black President...

still say the best way to make a democrat a non democrat is to make him or her start up a business...they must put up his or her house as collateral and be limited in the amount of cash they can use for this start up.

nothing sets people straight like a having his or her own start up business.

Have them own some residential income property.

True.

But once you own and operate your business you are, according to the Pro-Terrorist Marxist Squires, a racist red-neck drooling beast.... unless it's half-owned by the Union. Then you are close to perfect.
