I’m sure you know who this is.


And your thread is about “liberals still hating black folks.” You, the OP, falsely claimed Strom Thurman was a “liberal.” I was responding to that. In YOUR a thread. To YOUR a false comment.

Do try to keep up.

Or don’t. I don’t really care. You could continue to make ridiculous statements and run away, or lob a few insults.

Your dime. Enjoy!

Yes, LBJ had his vice president Hubert Humphrey cut deals and/or work with some liberal republicans (Not Republican Strom Thurman) to get the Civil rights act passed.

No matter how hard you try to equate the Dixiecrat party to the Democrat party, it's just not true. The dixiecrats were just a wing of the democratic party that died out over time.

You may have been a successful wildcatter ( like Jerry Jones) your interpretation of the facts just don't fly. It is you who needs to get educated.

LBJ, had his vice president(Humphrey) cut deals with some of the republicans to get the modified version of the bill passed.

Clearly northern democrats were NOT the problem as you tried to indicate. Northern democrats in the Senate voted 45 to 1 in favor of the modified bill. (JFK's original had to changed).

you can see that the republicans by percentage were far more supportive of it than the democrats. their support was not overwhelming, it was lukewarm.

  • Republican Party: 27–06 (82–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[36]

I don't give a shit about the dixiecrats.

the breakdown was interesting, but the region names are irrelevant and misleading.

its the actual vote that counts.

you're the one who's trying dodge this inconvenient fact that the democrats were lukewarm about this.

20 house members sat out of this vote. if they had voted No, then the democrat yes vote would have been at 61-39% instead of 63–37%. Theres no question that the House had the votes to pass it.

the real fun was in the senate.

the proponents of the CA1964 were up against some stiff resistance in the form of the filibuster. 67 votes were need to end the filibuster which lasted 54 days. it took 6 democrat senators to defeat the filibuster by a 4 vote margin. The arm twisting affair was with those 6 senators.

even here, the senators were pretty much lukewarm about voting for it.
