This was meant to be a humorous response to two other threads with a similar title. I thought the intent would be obvious, but I can see that it isn't. My bad.

Maybe FreeRepublic, but not here..

Um... you're on a Democratic website. Why would "anti-Republican" ideas be a strange thing here?

Nixon. The republican party stood for something once upon a time, but the running of Goldwater and Nixon's southern strategy took the party into the swamp in which it is now lost and sinking into quicksand, responsible voters can't let that party take the country with it.
