Yeah, the parties switched around, how I don't know, but I just finished reading "Gone with the Wind" a while ago, and it explains it a lot better than I can. I guess Abe Lincoln was a Republican but now he would be considered a Democrat.
Republicans were Yankees and carpetbaggers.
Stinger-It would be nice, in fact a utopia if people could live/work together. Both sides need to bend a little, but neither side is. Right now democrats should NOT be bending over backwards, because if Bush is allowed to do whatever he wants with no oppisition in the senate/congress we'll end up with abortion outlawed, an addition to our constitution that prohibits gay marriages and a lot of our natural resources eliminated. I just read in the paper that Bush wants to allow the state to be able to decide what to do with our forests. Which means a lot will probley be decimated to make way for more malls and suburbs. Gah. No thinking about tomorrow I tell you. Wait till our children have NOTHING left.
