Partisan schmucks

Here is a quote from Baker:

Well, in those days, Texas was a solidly Democratic state, as Democratic then as it is Republican today. I said: "George, that's great, but I don't know anything about politics, and number one and number two, I'm a Democrat."

He said, "Well, we can change that latter." And we did.

(LAUGHTER)

They have no loyalty to political party and they think it is funny. Why should any of you? Don't be a partisan schmuck.

Texas became Republican within 10 to 15 years after Pres. Lyndon Johnson signed Civil Rights legislation into law. As did most of the southern states.
It was never about political ideology. It was about pandering to the racist attitudes of the voting public.
