Oh Joe Please

Is it me or has the Morning Joe show turned into a Joe Scarborough diatribe on why Republicans should go back to the pristine Party of Ronald Reagan and the Party of 1964? You know, the one that was resurrected from the political trash heap when Nixon embraced the racists, former Democrats who left the Democratic Party because Democrats supported the Voting Rights and Civil Rights Acts of 1964. Yes, let's bring that Party back to power. Is there a morning show on TV where the commentators are actually Democrats who can talk about the Democratic Party?

About Edwcraig

I was raised to be a right wing Republican. Born in South Carolina. Great grandson of a trial lawyer famous for defending whites on trial for lynching blacks. Strom Thurmond studied in his law firm. Mother dated Thurmond. Nephew of a KKK member. Late father and mother both Republicans. Sister active in Republican politics to this day. The University of South Carolina's political science department and its fraternities, of which I have a degree and membership respectively, are and have been ultra conservative. Lee Atwater was a college and post college drinking buddy. Served in the US Army. For eight years, I was a lobbyist for big oil. I also was an investment banker and I am now and have been a entrepreneur businessman in the financial technology area for the last 25 years. I am a white man and over 60. A church elder. I am in the 2%. To the surprise and disappointment of many people I know and in spite of all the odds, I am a staunch Democrat. I was Executive Director of the South Carolina Democratic Party under Don Fowler.
