***** The Party of Dixiecrats. *****
One of the reasons Black people mistrust the Republican party is that the Party of Lincoln continues slowly to morph into the party of the Dixiecrats. A few years back the political operative for the Republican Party, Lee Atwater, borrowed a cue from the Dixiecrats' political playbook to give us Willie Horton. Now, in a move that would make Atwater proud, Ken Mehlman, the Republican National Committee Chair, conjures up his own Willie Horton ad in the Tennessee U. S. Senate race. Read it here. So the Republican Party is serious about courting Black voters? I do NOT think so. The Party continues to confirm that is overrun and controlled by people who are Dixiecrats posing as Republicans.

An excellent post! The ads were dsipicable and is a patent appeal to good ol' boy rednecks. The GOP should be ashamed and Ken Mehlman's excuse was lame! We deserve better.
Thanks, Steve, and you are right. Republicans deserve better and until Dixiecrats are told where to stick their racism, Blacks will continue to shun the Republican party's FALSE courtship.
This is definitely a concern for me. While Southern strength has propelled Republican electoral successes, it has come at a cost.
We are running the risk of losing economic conservatives.
Would you please expand on your thoughts regarding the costs of Republican "Dixiecrat" election strategy and "the risk of losing economic conservatives"? I'm sure the readers are interested. Thanks.
