Quote from phenomena:
Ahhh, I see... Sooo.. since one or two members of a party have a certain opinion, then all members of a party have that same opinion? I guess we can then conclude that the democratic party is a racist organization since they had Byrd, the longest running term in congress, who was a former KKK leader until he died not long ago. So since dems were the ones who voted against civil rights, since dems are the ones who wanted slavery to remain, and since dems are the ones who keep the KKK veterans as Senators, they must be a racist party according to your logic.
Thanks for clearing that up!!! LOL!!!
One or two? Texas GOP is running on an Anti Gay Platform, not good enough for ya? And the examples I posted are just few of the handful, there is a lot more you know.
And you are talking about Dixiecrats b/w who after the CRA passed turned Republican and thats why the South votes Republican now, I am sure you dont want to bring this up.
"While the Democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act at a higher rate than Republicans, within each region (i.e., Southern vs Non-Southern), the Democrats voted FOR the CRA at a higher rate than Republicans (the discrepancy being that the South didn't have many Republican Congressmen and Senators).
To show a comparison:
Southern Democratic Senators: 5% approval
Southern Republican Senators: 0% approval
Southern Democratic Congressmen: 7% approval
Southern Republican Congressmen: 0% approval
Northern Democratic Senators: 98% approval
Northern Republican Senators: 84% approval
Northern Democratic Congressmen: 94% approval
Northern Republican Congressmen: 85% approval"
