Sad, very sad.
The Republican Party of today is not the Republican Party of yore.
Is the man aware that the Republican Party of today is trying to surpress the black vote ?
Some people will do, or say anything to keep their job.

"He doesn't mention that he was a registered Republican once, then switched parties to run for office, but he's got the rhetoric down cold."
"Example: He asks the thoughtful to "echo the words of one Republican leader who famously said, free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last." That's an urban legend; MLK Jr. wasn't a member of either major party, but he campaigned against the GOP during its 1964 Goldwater turn. Like Rand Paul, Guillory ends his history of the Democratic Party in the late 1950s, when it was still a lumpy coalition of urban liberals and revanchist Southern whites."
And this guy has a JD from Rutgers yet repeats bullshit baseless revisionism? A Juris Doctor does not an intelligent person make.
Furthermore, this guy probably never believed in the values of the (D) party...he probably switched his registration so that he could create this dog-and-pony "I used to be a Democrat but I now am a Republican" show.
