Party of Racial Backlash

In contrast to the ideas of being unlucky (Katrina), the victim of conspiracy (financial mess), or stuck with a boob for a prez., Paul Krugman of the New York Times says it all can be traced back to the Southern Strategy of 40 years ago. At that time the GOP became the party of racial backlash. And they're still dealing with that decision. Reagan said, "Government is the problem." Which meant, government is the problem because it raises your taxes and gives the money to Those People. As for the Bush incompetence, that is a result of putting ideology over competence and experience. The world has changed and the GOP will return only after they deal with this issue.
