I still cant get my head around the fact the Lincoln was a Republican and Democrats


 
were the one supporting Slavery ....


Then one day, they all sat on a table and decided - I'll be you and you be me?

Nope didn't happen that way. The democrat party just changed how they enslaved the blacks. Instead of keeping them in literal chains they moved on to enslaving them by keeping them poor and dependent on the democrat party.

If blacks don't do what the Democrats tell them they don't get to eat.

Republicans are trying to put an end to that system to empower those held captive by it.

For a group of folks that can't grasp reality one can hardly expect them to know and understand history.

They understand history alright, they just rewrite it first.

The democrat party has been and always will be the racist party.

Almost. Only thing that's missing is for a mole to win DOTY.

Then one day, they all LBJ sat on a table and decided:  Hey, let's use blacks to promote our progressive agenda and keep them chained to soul crushing welfare freebies.   I'll be you and you be That'd be allright with me.  We'll steal Voter's Rights legislation from the Republicans, call it our legislation, then; when we own the House and Senate, we come up with a new Bill called Civil Rights and we'll keep them voting for us for the next 200 years!

There.  That is your history lesson for the day, DUmba$$.

34. Well, even the figures you cite show

the number of Democrats in both chambers voting for the bill to be greater than the number of Republicans. Both houses of Congress were controlled by Democrats, which meant the Democratic leadership had to support the bill, or it wouldn't have been on the legislative agenda. Not to mention it was a Democratic president who signed the act, making it a law.

To my mind, all of that constitutes "Democrats passing" the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But yes, Republicans--northern liberals mostly, and some from the west coast, voted for the bill. But the Republican candidate for president in 1964, Barry Goldwater, opposed it, as did much of the Republican intelligensia (for example, William F. Buckley). There were some Republicans who supported the New Deal as well, but I think most people still consider New Deal landmarks such as Social Security and Rural Electrification to be Democratic achievements.

Of course, after the vote you cite, unrepentent racists like Strom Thurmond switched parties, and were welcomed with open arms by Republicans, while racists who remained as Democrats, such as Robert Byrd, recanted and mended their ways.

The result has been that Republicans have had a "solid south" -- until recently, anyway -- but at the cost of having to accommodate the blatent racism we see so much of in their ranks today.

Like you say, both parties have changed. I would argue that the Democratic Party is the better for its changes, while the Republican Party is markedly worse.

Wouldn't you agree?

Thucythucy, I think that you have Robert Byrd mixed up with Ebeneezer Scrooge.  Byrd was a racist democrat until the day he died.

Racist democrat is a redundancy.

It would appear that a certain black quarterback of the Washington Redskins is, as well . . .

That makes me want to see him succeed in DC even more.

Wait till the DUmmies try to wrap their pointy heads around the fact that it was Republican votes that got the Civil Rights Act passed.
