Funny, he was a member of the KKK. Your attempt to rewrite history is amusing at best.
Your premise is that no one can change.
Kind of like Reagan was an FDR Democrat his whole life.
the point is not whether people can change--they can. But at the time that the civil rights act was passed most of the dems were opposed to it. The stats on the votes have been posted, they are what they are.
Most Democrats voted FOR The Civil Rights Act. It is unbelievable you are here arguing from such a point of ignorance. Go away.
the ignorance is yours:
From Wikipedia:
Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%)
Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%)
Cloture in the Senate:
Democratic Party: 44–23 (66–34%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version:
Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:
Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)
Every number there shows the Democratic Party majority FOR The Civil Rights bill.
You said: But at the time that the civil rights act was passed most of the dems were opposed to it.
Jesus Christ.
Do not call me the name of our savior, Jesus Christ. I am not worthy of that name.
The facts show that a larger % of republicans voted for it than dems. Dems filibustered it, republicans passed it. LBJ tried to use it for political gain by lying about it.
you cannot change history as much as you would like to.
