THE HILL wrote:McConnell said the party must appeal to black and Hispanic voters. To diversify the party, Republicans should remind African-Americans that the GOP was founded in response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, an 1854 law that gave those states the right to determine whether or not to allow slavery, and seek culturally conservative Hispanic voters, who may be more inclined to side with the party on social policy, he said.
Wouldn't it make more sense if the GOP reminded itself and its supporters about its original nature?
To try and claim some virtue due to the way you were in your early years would be like a mass murderer wanting to be found innocent because he was a good child.

Not when so much of your party's base is made up of bigots and morons. The Republitards' leader is Jabba the Rush Limbaugh, a white supremacist dope addict. There was a member of Congress who just the other day prostrated himself in front of Limbaugh after daring to criticize him a few days earlier. Bringing up Lincoln won't make many friends among that bunch.
