Paul Simon was the centrist Democrat backed by the hard right Republicans to get rid of Percy. Think Lieberman who was used to get rid of Weicker. Indeed in the Eisenhower era there was cooperation. But, the vitriol and obstructionism has accelerated since Watergate. With a vegetable acting as President,the crazies had a field day and the shift from Dixiecrat to GOP in the Confederate states solidified. None of those you mention could get through a primary inthe GOP today.Rail content. The inconsistency of the few Republicans supporting eityher Amtrak or local public transit/commuter trains (that's SOCIALISM, you know) is always entertaining. Remember when we had aan MTA mmgmt type on this board with a very authoritarian personality who professed contempt for libruls yet couldn't grok that his job only existed because he was employed in a socialist enterprise. |
