Democrats: "We will never recognise this Negro beast as a man!
Republicans: "Ah, c'mon now."
"Most of them have got two arms, two legs, two eyes. Some are even walking on their hind-quarters now."
"Can you not concede they're at least 2/5ths of a man?"
Democrats: "Okay. But not half."
"Definitely not half!"
"If they're free to fill in their own ballot papers we'll never win an election ever again."
