Where do you people get this stuff?
By observing *what* the Democrats *do* rather than listen to what the Democrats *say*.

When I was growing up in South/Central/Gulf Coast Texas, there were
few Republicans outside of Dallas and, therefore, Democrat Party
Politics *were* Texas' Politics.

Dwight Eisenhower was the *first* Republican since Reconstruction to "carry" Texas.

Duval County epitomized Texas' Politics, especially after their "Box
13" put Lyndon Johnson into the US Senate.

Why did Lady Bird Johnson just "happen" to own the *only* TV Station [KTBC]in Austin? Because of the influence of "Mister Sam" Rayburn -
the only individual to serve 10 terms as the Speaker of the US House
of Representatives. [KTBC frequently extolled the virtues, charms, and
abilities of LBJ and would have "Technical Difficulties" if any
criticism of either him or "Mister Sam" were to be aired by NBC.]

In the '40s and '50s - the "era" of "Mister Sam"'s reign - the control
of the Senate occasionally wavered back and forth but the Democrat
Party had a "lock" on the House. Nothing - absolutely nothing - made
it to the floor of the House without "Mister Sam"'s blessing.

In Austin, Bill Hobby - the son of the first female Cabinet Member - later instituted "The Hobby Rule" which gave him that same power
within the Texas Senate.

As you can see, Bob, all that it takes is simple observation and a "long" memory to recognise that Politicians are, usually, strangers to
Truth and, thus, their actions speak far more loudly than their words.

When a Political Party persists in promoting the concept of Socialism
to the point that it approaches Communism, nominates Radical Racists
for Political Offices and exerts all possible efforts to get them
elected, and consistently denies that their crooks are crooks (no one
believed "Tricky Dicky", either), then the credibility of their words
is obliterated and all that's left to them is their "Track Record".

*THAT* is where *I* get "this stuff". <G>
So you think Sam Rayburn was a Communist?

You are making no sense at all.


"Mister Sam", like FDR, was a Socialist.

Socialists differ from Communists only in their concept of "ownership".

Under Communism everything (and everyone) belongs to "The State" while, under Socialism, an Elite Few bear the burden of both Ownership and Direction.

FYI, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and the rest of the "Ivy League" have been preaching Socialism since the turn of the *last* century to the children of the New England Elite. These, when graduated, are often "headhunted" for Government Service - especially in the State Department.

"Mister Sam" fit in perfectly with these descendents of the Revolutionary War's Tories since *his* goal was personal power.

FDR was a product of the "Ivy League" who, along with his wife, totally embraced Socialism.

If this information doesn't sink in then you need to discard your Party-
Provided Blinders and do your own research with a totally-unbiased mind.

BTW, do you personally remember the issues and candidates of the 1952 campaign? How about the 1948 campaign? Do you remember the OPA?

I do, and you should.

You're trying to convert one of Lenin's "useful idiots".
