the 1960s. They says its a "revolution." John Lennon wrote about "Revolution" and wanted nothing to do with it.

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know We all want to change the world

BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT DESTRUCTION DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT!

Don't you know it's gonna be all right?
All right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We're all doing what we can

BUT IT YOU WANT MONEY FOR PEOPLE WITH MINDS THAT HATE, All I can tell is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be all right? All right, all right

YOU SAY YOU'LL CHANGE THE CONSTITUTION
Well, you know We all want to change your head

You tell me it's the institution Well, you know You better free you mind instead

BUT IF YOU GO CARRYING PICTUERS OF CHAIRMAN MAO You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be all right?
All right, all right!
All right, all right, all right!
All right, all right, all right!
All right, all right!

Lennon wanted nothing to do with it! That's what this song is all about.

I only care how they affect things now. The people representing these parties for the past 10 years or so still have an effect on today's candidates, thus, the Bush years and the Clinton years and the Obama years are pertinent, but other than that, we are just discussing history, not politics. More pertinent is how the candidates of today view the policies of those office holders, whether they are of the same "party" or not. For instance, apparently Trump thinks that Bush was responsible for 911. Interesting dilemma for the Republicans to determine whether they can support that accusation.

I, personally would take the Democratic party of now, hands down, over the Republican lies and intrigue that has amassed over the past 10 years....and yesterday and today.

This article from the Washington Post is easy reading, very interesting, not offensive to anyone, and gives a quick historic overview through our lifetimes. As it says, "What it means to be a Republican has changed enormously over the past half-century." The platforms of 1980 and 1992 are the biggies, the big "pivot points." The watershed platform of 1980 introduces tax cuts and an increasingly critical attitude toward government. “The Republican Party declares war on governm ...

I was talking to a Republican this week who, to paraphrase him, said that the Republicans have offered the country what it wants, a woman presidental candidate and one of color. NO! That is not what we want. We want candidates who are intelligent and capable. What you've offered us is incompetence and labels. It isn't important to have a woman president unless she knows the issues, as Hillary Clinton does. It most certainly doesn't help to have a person of color unles ...

This is an economy that must be changed in fundamental ways. Jobs and income: In my view, we need a massive federal jobs program which puts millions of our people back to work. We must end our disastrous trade policies. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. And we have to fight for pay equity ...

This is a bold strategy indeed for the party creed rollout….a candidate disclaimer stating they are not bound to abide by party principles.
