Ten Things You Might Not Know About Republicans-- Part 1

The Nov. 14th Chicago Tribune had another "Ten Things You Might Not Know" column, always interesting. I also always wonder where they come up with so many interesting tidbits. As usual, mark Jacob and Stephan Benzkofer compiled it.


1. The IOWA REPUBLICAN PARTY has nearly 400 planks. One of these is to support the definition of manure as natural fertilizer. (Hey, must be a political thing.)


2. ELIZABETH DOLE, transportation secretary under Ronald Reagan, was the first woman to command an armed service, the Coast Guard.


3. Republicans were PIONEERS IN CIVIL RIGHTS FOR BLACKS AND WOMEN. The GOP actually supported some women's rights 40 years before Democrats.

Sounds Like a Political Thing to Me. --DaCoot
