@InfraBlue,
If you are going to tell me that the Republican Party became a refuge for white racist southern Democrats it isn't going to fly. I can't say that some Democrats thought Barry Goldwater was a single issue racist, though the Democrat racists were.
Another shift right now would seem to be the Democrats walking away from the Democratic Party. They noticed the shift in the liberalism of the Democrats going Left, and are completely disenfranchised by the current Democratic leaders. Does that make the Republican Party Democrat. It means the shift was enough to push voters away from what they felt comfortable in supporting. It doesn't mean they don't think Food Stamps is a good thing, it only means that their former party offends them.
I hope something I said rings true with you. I get tired of debating. I know I cannot refrain from all debate on sites like this, it's just some people live in it. I don't like living in it. I only debate when I either feel like it, but I don't like debating people who aren't open to ideas, I don't want to be the only one. We should all know we don't have it all figured out, so I look to serve the truth, rather than make the truth serve me. I'm not a politician, after all.
