1856

Oldiesfreak:  I think I like this new Republican party and I am planning to vote for them.  I am not sure what to think of Mr. Fremont as he appears to be quite the radical, while I am a true conservative, but I deeply believe in the end of slavery.

1864

Oldiesfreak:  I am not sure why President Lincoln would choose a Democrat, and a Southern one at that as his running mate.  I must admit I deeply hate the Democratic party.  They are without a doubt the party of slavery and I will believe that for as long as I live.

1876

Oldiesfreak:  It sickens me that so many of my brothers would vote for the party of slavery, but thankfully Mr. Hayes was able to prevail due to the wisdom of our Founding Fathers and the electoral college.

1884

Oldiesfreak:  The end of the Union as we know it.  I cannot believe how quickly my brothers have forgotten that the party of slavery once divided this great nation into two.

1944
Oldiesfreak:  Four more years of the party of slavery?  That's it.  I'm moving to Vermont, the last bastion of Republicanism!

1948
HTMLDon:  Our party is dead.  Horrible candidates, horrible ideas and horrible campaigns.  If we can't win now, I don't think we will ever win.  In 1952 there will be no Republican party.

1952
Oldiesfreak (R-VT): As a conservative Republican I remain loyal to Senator Taft, but I think we need both conservatives and liberals in our party.  I think this is our time.  The reign of the party of slavery is over.

1964
Oldiesfreak (R-VT):  I cannot believe how naive people can be.  Whether you like it or not Lief, the Democrats remain the party of slavery.

1970
Oldiesfreak (R-VT):  This southern strategy that you speak of Lief is actually a brilliant idea.  The country is changing and despite my deep hatred for anything Southern, I will gladly accept them to the GOP (please don't call us the GOP party!).  I believe those of you who accuse us of racism are misled.  The Democrats remain the party of slavery and that will never change.

Landslide Lyndon:  umm... there's this thing called the Civil Rights Act.  And then we have the southern strategy.  Sometimes I feel I'm surrounded by idiots.

1982
Keystone Phil: Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!1

Lief:  Uhhh no

2008

Oldiesfreak:  Sorry Democrats.  You're still the party of slavery.
