William F. Buckley and ...What happened to the GOP?<br /><br />William F. Buckley and his then Movement Conservatives. They now go by Neoconservatives. They rose in popularity in the late 1960s (Barry Goldwater) upon a platform of dog-whistle racism. In the 60s, Ronald Reagan also used that hammer. According to Paul Krugman in his book "The Conscience of a Liberal", “he (Reagan) attacked Aid to Families with Dependent Children with a story about a woman with seven children who wanted a divorce because her welfare check would be larger than her husband’s paycheck” (105) <br /><br />Southern Democrats who had the same ideology became known as "Reagan Democrats" most of whom have traveled over to the dark side.The Li3eral Menacenoreply@blogger.com
