     The only difference is that the Republican Party establishment at the time considered these to be fringe allegations.

     Now, these sorts of things are the centerpiece!

       Mmm…I would argue that the GOP still considers them to be fringe which is why they do everything they can to restrict libertarians and constitutionalists within the party. Establishment Republicans tend to be rather “liberal” still to the majority of conservatives on social issues and to the majority of libertarians on fiscal issues.

   They misspelled ‘marriage’ too. Some things never change.

     Intellect is not a requirement for magical thinking.

     Well, they didn’t have spell-check, and it’s hard to correct typos when you’re using a typewriter.

     The “sovereign state” he “invaded” was Alabama:

   As the old saying goes: The more things change, the more they stay the same. But its encouraging in a way, that things may not be quite as dire as we thought they were.

   Now all we have to do is replace “black” or “negro” w/ the word homosexual in that speech and its pretty damned timely.

     Afterthought: Back then interracial marriages were predicted to destroy the institution of marriage in America.

   However, we must admit he was no saint to his wife and, more importantly,”illegally invaded” once or twice, but what’s new…

     Yep Peter, that’s what happens with empires. Afghanistan, the Mid-East, S.E. Asia, you’d think the new empire builders would have learned something from the old ones.Or perhaps, as a former colony, US imperialism is just an extension of G.B.s’? H’mmmmm…
