"Yesteryear's Republicans were reasonable. It's just this crop that's a bunch of know-nothing radical fascist reactionaries" was said in the 1980's as much as it's said today. It was said in 1994 about Newt Gingrich and Co. just a few years before they worked with President Clinton to reform welfare and balance the budget. "This is not your father's Republican party" was a favorite line of House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, if I recall correctly.
