The Democrats would like us to believe that Hillary Clinton is the first female to seek the Democratic nomination for president and Barrak Obama the first black man to run.
Oh and lest we forget, the first “black President” was Bill Clinton you will recall and if Hillary wins, Slick Willy could become the first black ex-president to occupy the WH…the dynamic duo…sure to wreck this country…oh but don’t ask a Democrat about that. You’ll likely get “Well! That was then, this is no! Who cares about history or truth?"
Once again deception and misleading information seem to lead the way for Democrats who rely upon America’s seemingly short memories.
Hillary is NOT the first woman nor is Obama the first black man. Jesse Jackson was the first black man to run for president and launched his first campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1984.
Shirley Chisolm was the first black [and] woman to run. This election is not historic by any stretch of the imagination despite what they would like us to believe. It is just another Democrat SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)…nothing new…business as usual from the far left in today's politics.
The facts do not back up the Democrats claim. As evidence, I submit the following:
June 8, 1872
OUR NOMINEES.
These are Victoria C. Woodhull, the woman; and Frederick Douglass, the Negro.
In the ninety-sixth year of the republic of the United States, they represent classes, who may justly be termed, even yet, the pariahs of our modern system of civilization.
In the nomination of Victoria C. Woodhull for the office of President, the Equal Rights Party virtually arraigns the despotism over woman as exercised in this Republic, as being, in this particular, more intolerant than that of the monarchies of Europe, and points those who dispute this statement to the long and beneficent rule of another Victoria cheerfully submitted to by the people of Great Britain.
In the nomination of Frederick Douglass for the office of Vice President, the Equal Rights Party proposes to set the seal of the nation on the issues of the war of the rebellion; to exhibit to the world that our people are a unit in the defense of the rights of all mankind; and to reset the Government on the right track, which has heretofore been traversing the tortuous windings of the slavery compromises of the first Constitution.

The Equal Rights Party.
The following information from Wikipedia:
Victoria Claflin Woodhull (
September 23, 1838 –
June 9, 1927) was an
American Suffragist who was publicized in
Gilded Age newspapers as a leader of the American Woman's Suffrage Movement in the 19th century. She became a colorful and notorious symbol for women's rights,
free love, and labor reforms. The authorship of her speeches and articles is disputed. Some contend that many of her speeches on these subjects were not written by Woodhull herself, but her role as a representative of these movements was nonetheless powerful and controversial.
She is probably most famous for her declaration to run for the
United States Presidency in 1872.

GOP Convention of 1872 in Philadelphia
You would expect to hear harmony at the glorious Academy of Music in Philadelphia, the site of the 1872 convention.
Ulysses S. Grant
Indeed, it was so. Only the sweet sound of party harmony wafted from the grand concert hall when the GOP gathered there on June 5, 1872, to nominate President Ulysses S. Grant for a second term.
Of course, there were plenty of Republicans who could no longer stomach the stench of corruption, nepotism and ineptitude that polluted the Grant Administration. But these naysayers did not come to Philadelphia.
Horace Greeley
Those determined to dump Grant created a party organization called the Liberal Republicans. They gathered in Cincinnati in May, and after much dissension and six ballots chose New York Tribune publisher Horace "Go West Young Man" Greeley — a sure loser — as its presidential candidate. Staunch Republicans would refer to the rebel group as "The Cincinnati Sore Heads."
Later the Democrats met in Baltimore determined to elect anyone but Grant. In one of the strangest presidential conventions ever, the Democrats endorsed Greeley and the Liberal Republican platform during a convention that lasted only six hours.
The continuation is here.
BTW, nice neck beard there Horace. I got to get me one of them.....
