The litmus test for being a Democrat today is being a paid employee of the Planned Parenthood corporate lobby rich liberal Democrats raping African American women working as maids for them behind their wives backs need to burn up DNA evidence that would prove paternity lawsuits forcing them to pay her child support instead. I don't see how killing Black babies is a sign of love.

The rich liberal Democrats who accuse Republicans of being racists are the Party that believes in dividing Americans by skin complexion color codes so they can keep living in their mansions stealing money from everybody. They did that when they were telling White Southern Democrats to hate negro Republcans and they run the same scam today just switching the races in their hate speeches.

My Republican grandfather's Republican grandfather fought in the 17th Connecticut for the Republican President Lincoln to end the slave system of Democratic Party founder Andrew Jackson. My old man voted for JFK, LBJ, and also for Ronald Reagan. I voted for Obama in the Democratic Primary against Hillary and for McCain in the election. Democratic Sen. Byrd was a KKK terrorist not Senator McCain, President Bush or any other Republcan elected to Congress

The Civil Rights act of 1964 (88-352): 88% Democrat against, 96% For. Look it up morons.

Dems get really mad when people try to counter their revisionist history. Kennedy sponsored the bill, but he would not have been able to veto anyway (not like he would want to veto his own bill), because of overwhelming Republican support. In support of the Dems, their vote was overwhelmingly in favor, but nothing like the Repubs....see below.

The original House version:[9] * Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%) * Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)

Cloture in the Senate:[10] * Democratic Party: 44-23  (66%-34%) * Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)

The Senate version:[9] * Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%) * Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[9] * Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%) * Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)

no problem, I just thought you would like to see the actual breakdown by location. It's really crazy that these conservatives like Virginia Foxx try to take credit for things that they tried (100%) to prevent. It's amazing that no conservatives supported civil rights.

This is a reply to Ebm3DI

Nice work. Thanks for the fact-check. Guess my suspicion was poorly founded.

the aisle to rescue Civil Rights. If I am wrong provide me with actual real facts that would support that CONSERVATIVES were instrumental in passing Civil Rights? If you can't prove this Then you probaly shouldn't be taking credit for LIBERAL accomplishments. Virginia Foxx and the rest of the Conservative Tea-Baggers are complete idiots ... The most rational Republican out there is Collin Powell & look how these Nut Job Conservatives have treated him.
