Why is that?

Because Oldiesfreak views things through a binary prism of Republican=Good, Democrat=Bad at all times and in all situations. He also seems to be under the mistaken impression that the Republican Party is still a centrist Eisenhower party that isn't dominated by SoCons and Southerners.

I know that, but it's been a while since I heard his obtuse way of reasoning. Last time we had this conversation, it was about Lincoln Chafee. Not that I'm unfamiliar with his posts, but on the particular issue of party switches, I need a refresher. Hearing someone else explain it does me no good.

I think I can explain it better.  In two words: civil rights.

The GOP is dominated by socons and Southerners, and I want to change that to make it more diverse (without alienating those folks, of course.)
