It is obvious to me that, in addition to not knowing much about the economy, McCain obviously does not know much about his own party either. Yesterday Hannity spent lots of time attacking McCain for saying that the Republican Party is "the party of Lincoln" and that the North Carolina Republicans should run a dirty attack ad against Obama in a Democratic primary. Hannity said that McCain does not know his own party and for once, I agree with Hannity. The Republican party quit being the party of Lincoln when Nixon came on the scene with all his filthy lies, criminality and his racist "southern strategy" campaign. Where the Hell has McCain been for the past 40 years?

Senility is a b***h.

McCain is a moderate. Too moderate for many Republicans, but as usual, they fall in line, hold their nose, and vote against the Democrat.

Has people watched in the last week? What do you think of all the blunders he made? I can only see them hurting him big time in the General.

May I ask how old you are? Richard Nixon issued Executive Order No. 11478 in 1969 requiring federal agencies to establish and maintain an affirmative action program of equal employment opportunity for all civilian employees. Also during Nixon's administration, EEOC conducted the first compliance reviews of hiring policies toward women by institutions of higher education receiving federal grants. When Nixon got into office, 68% of black children in the South attended all black schools. By 1972, 8% did. LBJ spent $911 million for civil rights activities, including $75 million for civil rights enforcement during the 1969 fiscal year and for FY 1973 Nixon's budget called for $2.6 billion for civil rights of which $602 million was for enforcement. There wasn't any teeth in LBJ's and Kennedy's affirmative action activities until 1969 when Nixon required Federal contractors to hire minority workers. I don't think Nixon was racist. You can look it up.

Its funny BUT its true

Nixon for all his filth was the last GREAT "DEMOCRAT" PRESIDENT, he carried on ALL JFK's policies.


William Jefferson was a fake, he s a NeoCON as is Hillary

EDIT: having said that !!! SOme of the Nixon recordings do show some verbal racism as did LBJ's
