Quote:robkelk wrote:Mitt Romney is already talking about a Reconstruction post-2016. Which is ironic, because it's also the term for post Civil War South. And the irony is that the party of Lincoln is now mostly composed of the descendants of the losers of the Civil War. The Dixiecrats are now Republicans.
I'd post a relevant quote, but I already did that in post #250 in this thread.
So... how about bringing back the original two parties - Federalists and Whigs - and letting the Democrats and Republicans fade away? (Obligatory xkcd reference) Or maybe having more than two parties, the way the rest of the democracies do things?
