    The party of Abraham Lincoln died in 1965. The Republican party   
    lost any remaining historical base when the Tea Baggers narrowed   
    it's focus, and sold our to the right wing billionaires.

    Like I said, the Republican Party died in 1965. Or, rather,   
    began to die. Remember LBJ saying, "I have lost the South for   
    100 years."?   
      
    The democratic party started to accept the principle of equal   
    rights, and the republican party moved to the Old South devotion   
    to prejudice and classism.
