Today's GOP would vote very differently. Keep posting this all you want, but the Republicans who voted for that then would be run out of the party on a rail today. The source of the Democrats who voted against it is now the solid GOP south.

You've done a good job of committing the party playbook to memory comrade.

Believe whatever you want to believe while living in your bubble of denial.

What the GOP has become actually makes me sad. My family was involved in GOP politics in Kansas back before it went bat shit crazy.

FYI - Doesn't look like Southern Republicans were too fond of the bill.

By party and region
Note: "Southern", as used in this section, refers to members of Congress from the eleven states that made up the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. "Northern" refers to members from the other 39 states, regardless of the geographic location of those states.
The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%) (only Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%) (John Tower of Texas)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%) (only Robert Byrd of West Virginia voted against)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)

Yep, all 11 of them.
 
that's nice. while you are arguing over what your party's done 50 years ago, what has either party done recently in regards to civil rights?
yeah, that's right...

What is there left to do, really? Obama abolished the restriction on gays openly serving in the military and the Democrats are pushing gay marriage. Seems to me those are the only significant remaining arbitrarily discriminatory policies.
 
I'm sure you will all be celebrating your new rights when the government collapses from this thing called... economic issues. Where will your hard faught civil rights go when our economy collpases? Please. Inquiring minds want to know.

The concept of a "Civil Right" has been completely shit on to the point that it's a joke.
 
This is wonderful. We made everyone equal in the current loss of privacy and pervasive abuses of the like of the NSA by the wonderful Dems as well as the Reps.

Glory in the '60s because it may have been the last centuries high point. Today we'll let gays marry and take away their Constitutional rights along with the rest of us. Nice.

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.” — Lyndon B. Johnson in regard to his Great Society plan


...and the Democratic Plantation lives on.

Today the Democrats are the more liberal party and Republicans the more conservative. To not know that conservatives are who voted against civil rights and liberals for it, and to not be aware of the mass exodus of conservatives from the Democrat party to the Republican party is to be massively ignorant of history. So much so in fact that you have just proven beyond ANY doubt to EVERYONE in P&N that your opinion is beyond worthless.

Thanks for helping prove my point Doc Savage. Lyndon Johnson was part of a group known as Southern Democrats. That group during Nixon moved en masse to the Republican party thanks to his southern strategy which appealed to their racism. No one is denying that Southern Democrats caused the Democrat party to once be the racist party. Only people who are ignorant beyond belief deny that those southern racists are now Republican voters.

You really should read up on this subject before regurgitating revisionist history. There's a hell of a lot more to this than the "Southern Strategy" red herring that liberals hold so dear to their heart and spew at every opportunity. The irony is really thick here.

Not true. Of the Democrat Senators who filibustered the Civil Rights bill, exact one, Strom Thurman, ended up in the GOP even during his entire career. All the rest remained staunch Democrats, as did the Democrats who filibustered.

The secret to keeping them was Affirmative Action. Evidently as long as they are discriminating against SOMEONE, regardless of whom, they are happy.

And who is denying that some southern Democrats defected to the Republican party? Think for crying out loud.

It's amazing how so many people forget these comments. The OP probably has no problem with them.

UR wrong quiz kid (3 stooge reference). Johnson was a southern hick who referred to King as that nig--- preacher.

Voting for the CRA was more conservative vs liberal nor D vs R. King was close to endorsing Nixon over Kennedy and Republicans at that time got a large percent of the black vote. Republicans then made the decision to take all the racist Dixiecrats off the Democrats hands in an effort to solidify the South.

Restricting marriage to a man-woman isn't even arbitrary. You would appear to be saying that the whole idea of marriage(or civil unions or whatever you feel like calling it) is arbitrary and should be disbanded.

LOL, you refering to the massive party reversals that supposedly went on decades ago. I believe it was our good buddy Craig who went on an on about that one time. I asked him to come up with a list of all these party deserters or side jumpers and he got all pissy about it and put me on his massive ignore list.

So I say unto you, please provide me with a list of all these party jumpers so I can reverse my massive ignorance of history and my opinions can now somehow be worth something. Or is that one of those things I should just know without there being any documented proof.

Or I could just link you to the Southern Strategy. You know where Republicans appealed to racism in the south and how they've owned racists and the south as a voting block since.

I believe they're now working to eliminate the term illegal alien. 100% full on open borders is the next stop.
