Why? I'll tell you why.

Willie Horton will forever be a stunning example of Democrat failure. If you DON'T know the real, ACTUAL, COMPLETE story of Willie, you should do yourself a favor and do some research.

The reason that Democrats in Alaska and Texas are drawing a line between Willie and Republicans is BECAUSE voters haven't bothered to do the research.....the COMPLETE research. (And, when you do the research, MAKE SURE that you read the history of the changes in the furlough law....that's where the idiot Dukakis comes in....)

But, this is not unusual for Democrats.

In fact, they do it ALL the time, relying on the fact.....not opinion, mind you, but FACT....that their supporters are willfully ignorant and are not inclined to believe the truth EVEN WHEN IT IS HANDED TO THEM.

Other examples? Sure:

Comparing Hitler to Republicans. (Hitler headed the National SOCIALIST Party, whose platform was nearly identical to that of the Democrat Party).

Comparing Theophilus Eugene "Bull" Connor to the Republican Party. (Bull Connor was a Democrat.)

Comparing the Ku Klux Klan to the Republican Party. (The KKK (the modern incarnation) was FOUNDED by the Democrat Party. In fact, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd was a former recruiter for the KKK and a KKK member himself.)

Comparing the Republican Party to slaveholders and defenders of slavery. (It was the Republican Party that ENDED slavery. In addition, it was the Republican Party that ensured the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; overcoming a Democrat Party filibuster in order to gain passage).

These are just a few examples.

And, folks, when you HOPEFULLY do the history, what you'll find is this:

None of these were a "Republican" thing. And none of these were a "well, BOTH sides are guilty of it" thing.

No.

All these, REMARKABLE, EGREGIOUS, INHUMAN policies and practices were 100% Democrat Party.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT DEMOCRAT PARTY.

The history is ABSOLUTELY clear.
