Booth was a democrat.

@redredred Of course he would. And today he would be a Republican.

@redredred That's too bad about the office. Hopefully it is something where you can't do too much damage to others.

@windinhishair I’ll compare my history with the democrat party any day.

@redredred I'm sure it is good for white Republicans. The rest of humanity, not so much.

@redredred Yes. Thank goodness we had liberal Republicans then in the North (including my family who were state officeholders). Without them, those acts would not have passed.

@redredred And most of those Republicans were liberal Republicans in the northeast in former Union States. Those liberal Republicans were driven out of the GOP and replaced with the racists we have today. Try learning history. Perhaps it will help you in your elected position.

@windinhishair I live in the northeast, there were never in the last 80 years large numbers of republicans in office here, certainly not enough to carry national legislation.

@redredred There were many Republican representatives and senators in the northeast, particularly prior to 1980.

@windinhishair Want to name twenty since 1980?

@redredred Scott Brown was Senator from MA as recently as 2013. But I've already stated most Republicans have been expunged by the racist southern Republicans. Try looking prior to 1980, like when the Civil Rights legislation was being passed while being opposed by Southern Racist Republicans. One of the Massachusetts Senate seats had no Democrats elected between 1937 and 1979.

@redredred
There have been 14 Republican Senators alone in the New England states since 1980. I haven't checked representatives yet, but it will be far more than 20. Do you care to admit you are a liar, or just let the facts speak for themselves?
