I said "That the Democrats are the provenance of the problem.....and the bar to the solution."


And your post pertained to that......how?

Ahhhhh, the perpetual dumb act!!!

My post unassailably, as exposed by your dumb act, put the lie to your claim that the powerless Dems were the problem by showing that the GOP blocked every bill in the committees they controlled.

Of course it did no such thing.

They blocked every attempt at resolution.

They being the GOP because the Dems were powerless to block anything in committee and every bill got blocked in committee!!!

You are wearing out the dumb act pretending you are too stupid to know you lied when you said the Dems used the 60 vote threshold to block all the GOP bills. All it takes is a simple majority to move a bill out of committee and the GOP held a majority in every committee.

Get it now?????

"In June 2005, the U.S. Senate finally voted to issue a formal “apology for lynching.” This represented the first time in U.S. history that Congress had acknowledged, in a formal resolution, the historic crimes committed against people of African descent in the United States.



However, when the resolution came to the floor of the Senate for a final voice vote, only 85 U.S. Senators had co-signed as sponsors. Fifteen senators, all Republicans, had not. After the actual vote, seven Republican senators agreed to sign a large copy of the Senate’s “anti-lynching resolution,” for the purposes of public display. Eight Republicans steadfastly refused to endorse an apology for lynching: Trent Lott (R-Mississippi), Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee), Michael Enzi (R-Wyoming), Judd Gregg (R-New Hampshire), John Sununu (R-New Hampshire), and Craig Thomas (R-Wyoming).

In another unprecedented moment, the United States House apologized for both slavery and Jim Crow on July 29, 2008. In doing so, they acknowledged that slavery and Jim Crow continued to impact the African American community, long after the systems of oppression were formally abolished."

On your part only!

Please show even one bill that came to the floor of the Senate providing the Dems the opportunity to block the bill with the 60 vote threshold. You won't because it never happened, and YOU know it but are too dishonest a liar to admit it.

1. Where is the link?
Are you trying to pretend that it was Republicans who were opposed to civil rights legislation?

You couldn't be that stupid....


2. "More than 200 anti —lynching bills were introduced in congress in the first part of the century and the House of Representatives passed anti-lynching bills three times. However, the legislation was repeatedly blocked by Senators from the South and almost 5,000 people -— mostly African-Americans — were lynched between 1882 and 1968."

3. Language is important, so in any discussion of who the segregationists were, liberals switch the word “Democrats” to “southerners.” Remember, the Civil Rights Act of 1957 was supported by all the Republicans in the Senate, but only 29 of 47 Democrats…and a number of the ‘segregationist’ Democrats were northern Dems (Oregon, Washington, Montana, and Wyoming). Not southerners: Democrats.

a. There were plenty of southern integrationists. They were Republicans.
Coulter, "Mugged"


4. Here’s what we’re up against: the Washington Post lies outright, describing Senator William Fulbright as “a progressive on racial issues.” Fulbright was a full-bore segregationist, voting against the 1957, 1960, 1964, and 1965 civil rights bills.
Ibid.


5. "On June 13, 2005, in a resolution sponsored by senators Mary Landrieu of Louisiana and George Allen of Virginia, together with 78 others, the US Senate formally apologized for its failure to enact this and other anti-lynching bills "when action was most needed."[3] From 1882-1968, "...nearly 200 anti-lynching bills were introduced in Congress, and three passed the House. Seven presidents between 1890 and 1952 petitioned Congress to pass a federal law."[3] None was approved by the Senate because of the powerful opposition of the Southern Democratic voting bloc"

6. "Three years after Brown, President Eisenhower won passage of his landmark Civil Rights Act of 1957. Republican Senator Everett Dirksen authored and introduced the 1960 Civil Rights Act, and saw it through to passage. Republicans supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act overwhelmingly, and by much higher percentages in both House and Senate than the Democrats. Indeed, the 1964 Civil Rights Act became law only after overcoming a Democrat filibuster."

I posted the bill number of every reform bill in the House and Senate, not one of which was ever brought to the floor for a vote and thus every one killed by the GOP majority who control what bill is brought to the floor, the Dems are powerless in bringing a vote to the floor.

A 2004 book about America's political divisions notes that the 99 percent of all Republican legislators across the country and in Congress are white.
The national Republican Party, whose base is in the South, the Plains and the Mountain states, looks to white men as its power base and source of leadership.
Even when Republican states have significant minority populations, the elected Republican representatives rarely are drawn from those communities.

The Great Divide: Retro vs. Metro America, a new look at political divisions in America by educator-entrepreneur Dr. John Sperling, calls those states 'Retro America,' and notes: 'Its whiteness and maleness are mirrored in the Republican Party.'

Of 3,643 Republicans serving in the state legislatures, only 44 are minorities, or 1.2 percent.

In the Congress, with 274 of the 535 elected senators and representatives Republican, only five are minorities - three Cuban Americans from Florida, a Mexican American from Texas and a Native American senator originally elected as a Democrat.

Please show even one bill that came to the floor of the Senate providing the Dems the opportunity to block the bill with the 60 vote threshold. You won't because it never happened, and YOU know it but are too dishonest a liar to admit it.
