Good Republicans Won't Do

[redcliffsw]

With the announcement of every new Republican contender for the G.O.P. nomination for president,
I get assured by another flat-head conservative, "Now surely you see him as a good Republican." Thus
with the announcement of Mike Huckabee's candidacy for the Republican nomination, I was assaulted
with the assurance that here is a good Republican. I am sure that yes indeed, former Arkansas governor
Mike Huckabee is a good Republican-but that is the problem and not the answer for Southerners who
have witnessed the lost of respect for Southern heritage, an increase in the size and scope of government
and an ever increasing tax bite from Mr. Lincoln's IRS. Its time for Southerners to accept the fact that
"good Republicans are not good enough."
Since the 1964 campaign of Barry Goldwater, it has been the South that has given the Republican
Party its largest block of voters. Regardless of how one looks at the political landscape in the United
States during the past forty-three years, it has been the South that has given the G.O.P. its White House
victories and its majority status in Congress. Remove the South from the Republican Party and the G.O.
P. becomes America's hopeless minority party. But how has the good Republican Party treated
Southerners in the past forty-three years?
