Removed the "conservative" description of Yellow Dog Democrats since they were not so conservative like Republicans at the turn of the 20th century, despite being portrayed so by the liberal media and academia
A '''Yellow Dog Democrat''' is a very loyal, conservative [[Democrat]]. The phrase originated in the South at the turn of the 20th century. Presumably, a Southern voter "would vote for a mangy yellow dog before he/she would vote for a Republican."<ref>http://www.c-span.org/questions/weekly55.htm Capitol Questions, 11/16/00</ref>
