Larry King: Modern GOP Is So Conservative, It would Reject Reagan

[See NewsBusters for more.] According to Larry King on Tuesday, the modern Republican Party is so conservative that it would reject Ronald Reagan. The former CNN anchor interviewed struggling Democratic candidate Lincoln Chafee.  After wondering "what happened to your party, you old party," the former Republican sneered, "It moved south. Back in the '60s, President Nixon had what they called the southern strategy." He went on to suggest this was rooted in racism. The presidential candidate suggested "you can see that now in the presidential campaign, beating up on immigration and all the social issues, abortion and gay marriage."
