I had purposely erased Tricky Dicky from my memory. If only he could be erased from history.

Thanks for clarifying. Whew! Yeah, I would love to purge Tricky Dick from my memory but, unfortunately, he's lodged up there. Plus as time goes on and the GOP tries to rewrite its history I find myself increasingly having to remind conservatives that the Southern Strategy REALLY existed, was actually written down, that the man who framed it (Kevin Phillips) is alive and kicking and completely repentant over what his idea(s) have wrought on the American body politic and that it has resulted in the purge of moderates from the GOP.
Cheers

The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. And so, the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn’t that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people. As soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn’t measure up." (Terry Pratchett)
