...Do you actually believe the GOP and the Tea Party don't believe in granting African Americans civil rights? Or are you just thinking about gay marriage (which I should note even liberals would have scoffed at in 1960)? Or granting full benefits to illegals? Well, anyway, you're especially wrong on the Tea Party, they have no position on any of that anyway. And you would certainly be hard-pressed to actually find real evidence of racism at a Tea Party rally.
@3dartistguy Not true they would not have pulled a stunt like the Cuban Missile Crisis with Nixon. They knew Nixon was a hard-nosed anti-communist crusader that would have gone to war over the Soviets installing missiles in Cuba. The Soviets feared war more than they loved Communism.
The Cuban Missile Crisis arose out of the Kremlin's misjudgement of Kennedy's resolve after he bungled the Bay of Pigs operation. In the end, both Nixon and Kennedy were strong in this area.
@FRSFreeStatePlus --on this issue, Nixon was a moderate. I'm not sure if this was lip service at the time, or if he really would have been behind it had he been in office from `1961-64. But he did enforce the Court decress on the busing issue while Pres. IMO, Nixon sometimes unfailry got a bad rap--people never got how he was during the Hiss hearings, and many just hated him. Even some politicians in his own party
