Lyman, your post is disingenuous. Wallace was the at the end of the southern Democratic era. Democrats and Republicans changed positions on equal rights. It is like republicans today laying claim to Lincoln as one of their own while in truth they were and continue to be like George Wallace. When the current Republican President has White Supremacist and radical Christians as vocal and high profile supporters it is more than enough proof of the republican philosophy. To accuse democrats of following Wallace just because he had a "d" in front of his name is either ignorant or intentional instigation based on fallacy.
