What, are you interested in how to support an argument?
Let wiki know, go ahead, or report me.
What part don't you get the bill could not get passed with both the House and Senate under Democrat majority? It was the leadership in the minority party, the Republicans that would not waiver on key issues that must be included in the civil rights bill to make it worthy and not some paper tiger that some Democrats proposed to get Southern Democrats on board . History records Johnson going to the Senate and raising hell and telling his party to stop the filibustering and pass the legislation. There was a hell of a battle in Congress to get the bill passed. And it was a Republican that pretty much authored the final bill that was signed into law. It's getting old to see such revisionism of something that just happened 50 years ago. I blame our public school system for that one.
What part of not being able to understand that your whitewashed version of history is not the complete truth and that the closer truth is that members of the GOP were more opposed to the 1964 CRA than were Dems? Is your viewpoint so entrenched that it becomes a B&W issue were Dems are bad and GOP are good and that no allowance is made to understand that within the GOP there were racists....and that NOW, the PRESENT, the Southern GOP ideology is nothing more than a sanitized version of Jim Crow Southerners?
The point was, they did have racists among them in the 1960's, and as the southern strategy continued on, the GOP went whole hog to capture the Southern White conservative vote....and they have.

OMG...did you just come back with a hypocritical comment about playing race cards?
WHERE?
The operative word being "were"...but NOW are GOP...ergo, THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY WAS REAL AND WORKED.
Read and learn:
LOL, the NBRA !?!? Good grief....and you could not even directly link to any rebuttal they supposedly made....because they didn't...they linked to a Pat Buchanan article that even little old me was able to take down.
FFS....when I said the Southern Dems WERE (by and large) racists in the 60's BUT that NOW it is the GOP that has captured the (racist) Southern White vote, Landrieu is simply confirming that OBVIOUS point when she commented on the lack of support for the President. It is so weird how the GOP is aghast when the obvious is stated.
Um, if you are talking about the GOP dominated South, and the poverty contained within, I'm afraid that blaming the Dems is really off the...map.
Yeah, ya know...they have all been brainwashed I tells yah.....thats why they vote for Dems 90% or better since the 60's!
Well I guess we can add black republicans and their organization to your list of dumb asses because of what they promote on their website. The poverty of Blacks isn't just limited to the South. Who has run Detroit into the ground under Democrat leadership? Why is Chicago, New York and any other Democratic stronghold strugging with Black gangs mainly due to the lack of jobs? It's the system that has made Blacks poor. Forget color, it's making a lot of folks poor. By offering government assistance being designed out of Washington that they make every state abide by the regulations, you take away the incentive to be all they can. They don't have to work toward a goal because government is going to provide just enough to get by. It's disgusting. The anti-capitalistic attitude on the left thwarts economic growth to produce the needed jobs of those who truly want to work. The over-regulating of EVERYTHING thwarts the growth also. Democratic states are not known for being business friendly and have much higher unemployment rates.
There is straw, there is soiled straw, and there is rotted fungus infected straw. This comment by you is of the last variety.
More straw, I did not say it was, the topic has been the South, if you were following along.
Wait...what administration is responsible for the largest decline in employment since 1929? The answer is the Bush administration.
I asked apst in another thread for him to back up his claim that welfare has caused recipients to lose the ability to work. He declined. So you go right ahead and waste your time trying to support another failed Right Wing meme.
