"There's a lesson for you. ;-)" I suppose it would be a lesson if Ted ever had an edge.....somehow I doubt if he ever did.

Southern strategy In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti– African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states' rights). Though the " Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery prior to the American Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater [1] in the late 1960s. [2] The strategy was successful in some regards. It contributed to the electoral realignment of Southern states to the Republican Party, but at the expense of losing more than ninety percent of black voters to the Democratic Party. As the twentieth century came to a close, the Republican Party began trying to appeal again to black voters, though with little success. [2] In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized for his party's use of the Southern Strategy in the previous century.

Ted, I state the obvious. The ONLY reason why you like GM is because it was supposedly "saved" by Obama. That's not 'supposed'; Obama did save GM. Like it GM how? As an American, I am glad he saved it.......no more, no less. Its sad you don't feel the same way. By the way, you're not the only one who made the mistake of buying GM and selling INTC. Warren Buffett also did the same thing. I never owned either stock. From where do you get this nonsense? Funny how he loses his edge as he gets more and more involved in politics. There's a lesson for you. ;-) Unfortunately, the person that badly needs to see the lesson is too arrogant to see the possibly.
