Hello Registered: Jan 2010 Posts: 1472 New Post 09-24-10 11:20 AM Yet again you are busted lying so you try to change the subject, fact of the matter is it was the republicans who passed the bill with racist democrats opposing them every step of the way. Quote from hermit: You may want to look into this 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 The bill divided and engendered a long-term change in the demographics of both parties. President Johnson realized that supporting this bill would risk losing the South's overwhelming support of the Democratic Party. Both Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Vice President Johnson had pushed for the introduction of the civil rights legislation. Johnson told Kennedy aide Ted Sorensen that "I know the risks are great and we might lose the South, but those sorts of states may be lost anyway." Senator Richard Russell, Jr. warned President Johnson that his strong support for the civil rights bill "will not only cost you the South, it will cost you the election."Johnson, however, went on to win the 1964 election by one of the biggest landslides in American history. The South, which had started to vote increasingly Republican beginning in the 1930s, continued that trend and became majority Republican in the 1990s

Why do hunters make the best lovers? Because they go deep in the bush, shoot more than once, and they eat what they shoot.
A market guru walks into a pizzeria to order a pizza. The waiter asks him: "Should I cut it into six pieces or eight pieces?" The guru replies: "I'm feeling rather hungry right now. You'd better cut it into eight pieces."
You're abs. correct, sir. Lord no, I could never eat it that way! I'll see if I can re-word the joke!
