Neocon, Thanks for the link. But, I had a problem with an individual who was elected to state congress and was also able to defeat Republican Gov. in Gubernatorial primary. I did some digging on this guy this morning and came accross an old Washington Post article containing following information in the end. After reading the entire article, I am very much satisfied and encouraged with the Republican party members response. However, I hope I made my point of conveying why people like me (or who recently became citizens) are cirumspect of Republican Party. People who I talk to among friends and family get a wrong message. With this I rest my discussion about DD. ====================================================== "Duke has been a major embarrassment to the GOP since winning a Louisiana statehouse seat in 1989. In 1990, he was the Republican Party's nominee in an unsuccessful bid to defeat then-incumbent Sen. J. Bennett Johnston (D-La.). One year later, Duke gave up his legislative seat to run against and beat Republican Gov. Buddy Roemer in the gubernatorial primary. As the GOP nominee, Duke lost the general election to Democrat Edwin W. Edwards. ===================================================== ===================================================== These contests forced the national and state Republican parties into a defensive posture. GOP officials repudiated Duke at every turn, and many Republican leaders openly endorsed Duke's Democratic opponents. Duke has scared moderate whites away from the GOP in the South, where the party depends on large majorities among white voters to win elections. ===================================================== washingtonpost.com
