Talk:Cloth coat Republican
The last sentence doesn't really work--it wasn't the "Main Street" people who built the Republican party--it was the anti-slavery folks in the 1850s. Researcher 21:45, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
- I always thought these were "checked-pants Republicans". Teresita 21:50, 28 September 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Um...
So if the Cloth coat republicans are the old wing, what is the new wing called? And why do we have an article on a bit of internal party jargon? SophieWilder 10:55, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Not sure about missionality, but Nixon's paranoia and "not being a crook" were subsequently central to the zeitgeist of a turbulent time. The theme of the Checkers speech[wp] was his denial that he sold influence in exchange for gifts such as the eponymous spaniel. Twenty years afterwards, the Checkers speech was still being shown as a trailer in artsy cinema houses on liberal university campuses, along with features such as Reefer Madness.

- You have me to thank for that. Yeah, I'm tootin' it. My own horn.--"Shut up, Brx." 00:30, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- If the definition of a cloth coat Republican is a Republican who's self-made and didn't have help from a family dynasty, that's entirely different than them being the moderate faction, or the anti-slavery faction when the party originated. The Rockefellers and McCains definitely don't count, any more than the Bushes do. Though I don't endorse their views, there's a multitude of ultra-conservatives, even Reagan, who were self-made without a dynasty, and a number of moderates who came from rich families and had a lot of connections.

[edit] halp
I can't get the reference to show up. Also, this article could do with more references. And this doesn't seem to be all that common a term. And we rank pretty high on google for Cloth coat Republican. So we should put more references in.--"Shut up, Brx." 14:35, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Also, lol--"Shut up, Brx." 14:50, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- I'm bumping this. The reference won't show up. I don't know what's doing it. And the other stuff I mentioned. We need moar refs--"Shut up, Brx." 20:47, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- I don't know either. It works as a centered quote outside the thumbnail, though. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 21:24, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

[edit] OS
No citations+unabashed and unnecessary insertion of personal opinion are why I reverted you.--"Shut up, Brx." 05:08, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
