Whats the alternative?

what does the history of the GOP tell you?

I'm just using this post as a springboard,

Pre-Obama, you'd often hear that phrase, "Republicans are the party of Lincoln" from cacs and c00ns alike. People deliberately ignore that parties in America were even more divided, right after the Civil War until Barry Goldwater won the GOP primaries in 64, there were two factions in the Republican party:

The Black & Tans: a multiracial faction that arose from the Radical Republicans (those are the Republicans Black folk voted for in droves until Nixon's first term)

and

The Lilywhites: a mostly white faction that was made up of more "moderate" (:mjpls:) Republicans, Southerners who felt betrayed by the democrats/disappointed with the Dixiecrats and wealthy whites

The GOP you see today is the party of Goldwater

my father is a millionaire on paper and he has a nice house and get to play golf all day, but he isn't rich. He can buy all his necessities but he isn't balling and he can't take care of his family. You probably need 10- 20 million to really be rich nowadays.
