1) The Republicans would have had the first black president in 1996 if Colin Powell had accepted the invitation. At the time the polls showed he would have beat Clinton easily. (Clinton was running for his second term.) How is that possible if the Republicans are as intollerant as the left claims?
2) The Republican party is generally pro-life, but a frontrunner, Rudy Gulianni, is pro-choice. So, the Republican party allows a pro-choice cadidate to be a frontrunner, but the Dems will NOT allow a pro-life candidate to be a frontrunner. Isn't that intollerance on the part of the Dems ?
After all was not Abraham Lincoln the first Republican president, the man who freed the slaves? And did not the Democrats who use to reign supreme in the south maintain there segragationist laws?

I don't believe there was ever a chance that Republicans would nominate a black person to run for president. Abe Lincoln's party did not faintly resemble the current Republican Party.
Thanks
