BTW, I do not think that's a fair statement.

One party has consistently been for civil rights.

Not exactly...do you forget the Southern democrats
filibuster against the Civil Rights Amendment?

Recent history. That was where the republican party was born. bushie's
"I'm from the party of Lincoln" was accurate, but far more recently
they're the party of Nixon and McCarthy.

Or the original Lincoln-Douglas debates on slavery?

Which side did the democrat take in that debate?

One party has
consistently been pro-choice.

Are you telling me there are no pro-life democrats?.

No I'm not.

Party is the key word, not candidate or Congressman, individual etc.

I do not believe the Dems have ever had an anti choice platform. If I'm
wrong sue me.

Seems to me the democratic party is very willing
to embrace candidates that can get elected
even though they won't agree with the party on
these core issues.

So they should be kicked out unless they conform to every plank in a
platform?

Ask Lieberman.


So Chaffee wasn't really a republican after all. Nor are any
republicans who disagree with Bolton, for example.

It's gonna be tough for both parties now. Nobody conforms strictly
enough to belong.

No...its tough for voters....nobody adheres to their principle they run
a campaign on.
