There is no one else. The GOP has, from the beginning, been the team--and the only team--that can stop and did stop the marauding Democrats. The Republicans have done it for 150 years, from slavery through the Ku Klux Klan through eugenics and forced sterilization through the Civil Rights Movement. Why don't we have slavery today? How has the Klan gone from a massive organization to a joke? Why do blacks and other minorities today have equality of rights under the law? The answer in every case is: the Republican Party.
