Republicans — Not Democrats — Gave Women Right to Vote

[Crepitus]

I know. It's too bad that republican party is long gone.

Republicans are the only party that actually continually stands up for and with the American people, as evident by the Democrat Party having chosen to stand with violent illegals, human traffickers, drug runners, pedophiles, MS13, cop killers and more to shut down the government so the borders stay open, illegal immigration continues, their illegal Sanctuary Cities remain operating, and the illegal votes for Democrats keep getting cast.

The Republican party is the reason Civil Rights passed.
The Republican Party is the reason women have the right to vote.
Democrats are the party who created the KKK.
Democrats are the party who opposed civil rights.
Democrats are the party who voted womens' right to vote down.
Democrats did not want blacks and women voting, but today they want illegal immigrants voting.

Actual FACTS are just a bitch for snowflakes who try to twist, spin, and misrepresent reality.

Yup, it's too bad that party is dead and gone.

You party of slavery supporters are all just full of shit.

Republicans have supported equal rights for blacks and women from day one, and that has never changed. The Johnny come lately Democratic party just changed their tune because they saw the writing on the wall.

The fact that the Democratic party, with their sordid history, still exists, is a huge embarrassment to this country.

You are an embarrassment to our educational system.

Fuck you, My IQ=158 and I was tutoring college pre-med and nursing students when I was only fucking 10 years old. Compared to me, all of you jackasses are idiots.

Riiiiiight.

You seem to forget facts don't matter to Republicans. They will repeat the lie. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

Another day, another attempt by snowflakes to accuse others of what they do and of who they are.

Conservatives are creatures of facts and evidence. Democrats / snowflakes are unstable creatures ruled by emotion.

Here is an example of Democrats / Snowflakes 'intellectually discussing' the outcome of the 2016 election:

Yup. These "conservative" types are still in the same groove. They can never discuss intelligently issues relating to women.

The Democratic Party voted down the right for women to vote.

They use them in their crusade to kill babies.

They have USED them to affect political assassinations of political opponents, the way they did against Herman Cain and tried to with Kavanaugh.

They shove cigars up inside them / interns then publicly declares, 'I did not have sex with that woman'.

They drop its pants, tells them to 'suck it', then lies in court to save themselves, only to get disbarred for their deceit.

They have created entire Congressional committees dedicated to paying for their silence with tax dollars instead of stopping the sex abuse / crimes.

They have even left them to die in over-turned cars in water-filled ditches to save their own political careers....

...and you seek to point fingers ate and falsely accuse others of what the Democrats have done, still do, and od who they prove they still are?

You are free to explain the republican war on women who want birth control and those who want to abort their unintended pregnancies. You hate women who make their own choices and it shows.

You are free to continue demanding that people justify themselves to you as though your putrescence is some sort of moral standard that real people respect. You are also free to hold your breath while you wait for anyone to give a rat's furry ass what you think.

It seems that you learned a new word. Congratulations. That's hard for fundies.

You're confused . . . again. Just because the word is new to YOU doesn't make it new to everyone, just as the fact that YOU hate having a vagina does not make that a "women's issue".

When did i ever say that i hated having a vagina? Your assertion is downright weird. Are you on some drug?

"Over the weekend, women celebrated #InternationalWomensDay on social media and at events across the globe

The United Nations’ slogan for the day was, “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change.”

For Women’s History Month, Rolling Stone magazine featured Speaker Nancy Pelosi along with Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paying homage to the record number of women serving in the 116th Congress and of course, bashing Republican President Donald Trump.

Democrat females even wore “suffragette white” to last month’s State of the Union address."



......In all of this celebrating and promoting Democrats, the media failed to point out / make clear that Republicans — not Democrats — were responsible for granting women the right to vote in the first place.

It is a trailblazing history of which Republicans should be proud:


"The Women’s Rights Convention held in 1848 was the catalyst for the women’s rights movement. Two years later, another convention followed where the matter was discussed.

By 1870, the Massachusetts Republican State Convention had already seated two “suffragettes” who had fought for the women’s right to vote — Lucy Stone and Mary A. Livermore.

Just two years later, the National Republican Convention of 1872 approved a resolution calling for a wider role for women in the political process, and demanding that “additional rights” for women “should be treated with respectful consideration.”

In 1892, two women delegates from Wyoming were seated for the first time at a national political convention — but it was the Republican National Convention (not the Democrats’.) This same convention was the first time a woman was ever allowed to speak at a national political convention — again, it was a Republican convention.

During her speech, the chairwoman of the Women’s Republican Association of the United States vouched for Republicans’ commitment to granting women the right to vote and said they would see the fight through to the end.

Finally, at the request of Republican Susan B. Anthony, Sen. A.A. Sargent — a Republican from California — introduced the 19th Amendment to grant women the right to vote.

The amendment was voted down by a Democrat-controlled Senate."

When Republicans regained control of Congress in 1919, they passed the Equal Suffrage Amendment as one of their first orders of business.

It was a decades-long fight that Republicans saw through to the end."



KERNS: Media Spend Women’s History Month Forgetting Republicans — Not Democrats — Gave Women Right to Vote


.

I’m curious. Republicans today called themselves Confederates. Were they Confederates back then too? What happened between then and now?

Well some Whigs did not join the Republican Party and became Know Nothing which seem like a Political Movement you would have joined.

Seriously??

Know Nothings were not only virtually gone by the time the Republicans were founded in 1854 but when they were around they were a hypernationalist anti-immigrant bunch of fuckin' wackos who started riots and were in effect the closest political party ideology to the Ku Klux Klan.

 

[Picaro]

Richard Nixon, a Republican President, extended the Civil rights Acts to the rest of the country, when they came up for their sunset review' during his 1st term. Black voters in Harlem voted in about the same percentages as blacks in Mississippi did before that, for instance; liberal states like New York and California had literacy tests at the time. Most people today don't realize that most states exempted themselves from the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960's, the only way they got passed is by limiting those laws to a few southern states, and as I mentioned they had sunset provisions attached to the bills.

It was also Nixon who turned Affirmative Action into a quota system and the 'War On Drugs' both pandering to demands by black radicals, attempting to win back black voters to the GOP after their mass defections to the Democrats. You got 'good' with the 'bad'; the quota systems allowed black radicals to make millions of black children grow up stupid, violent, and dumb, just where black politicians have always wanted them to be.

 

[SandSquid]

God did you forget that since the late 1860's, blacks had the right to vote by Amendment, but it was the DEMOCRATS right up the 1960's who tried to prevent black voting, which means for nearly 80 years, their actions were unconstitutional.

It has been by law, legal for blacks to vote since 1869.

When will you assfucks EVER quit lying about this.

It was both Republicans & Democrats in the South that always voted against the civil rights. As proven by the vote on the Civil Rights Act of 21964.

Oh dear, it the Democrats who dominated the south by voting from the 1860's to the 1980's when Republicans finally gained the majority vote. In all that time Republicans were in the minority, who couldn't pass anything.

No it was Democrats who fought the 1957 CRA with Filibuster and low yes votes:

The Democratic Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, realized that the bill and its journey through Congress could tear apart his party, as southern Democrats opposed civil rights, and its northern members were more favorable. Southern Democratic senators occupied chairs of numerous important committees because of their long seniority. Johnson sent the bill to the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Democratic Senator James Eastland of Mississippi, who drastically altered the bill. Democratic Senator Richard Russell, Jr., of Georgia had denounced the bill as an example of the federal government seeking to impose its laws on states. Johnson sought recognition from civil rights advocates for passing the bill as well as recognition from the anti-civil rights Democrats for weakening the bill so much as to make it toothless.[3]

The bill passed 285-126 in the House of Representatives with a majority of both parties' support (Republicans 167–19, Democrats 118–107)[4] It then passed 72-18 in the Senate, again with a majority of both parties (Republicans 43–0, Democrats 29–18).[5] President Eisenhower signed the bill on September 9, 1957. "

Overwhelming yes voting from the Republicans, while barely get over 50% yes votes from the Democrats.

​

1957 Filibuster from Wikipedia:

"Then-Democratic Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, an ardent segregationist, sustained the longest one-person filibuster in history in an attempt to keep the bill from becoming law.[6] His one-man filibuster lasted 24 hours and 18 minutes; he began with readings of every US state's election laws in alphabetical order. He later read from the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and George Washington's Farewell Address.

To prevent a quorum call that could have relieved the filibuster by allowing the Senate to adjourn, cots were brought in from a nearby hotel for the legislators to sleep on while Thurmond discussed increasingly irrelevant and obscure topics."

1964 Filibuster:
​

When the bill came before the full Senate for debate on March 30, 1964, the "Southern Bloc" of 18 southern Democratic Senators and one Republican Senator led by Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage.[16] Said Russell: "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states."[17]


Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Among the guests behind him is Martin Luther King, Jr.
Strong opposition to the bill also came from Senator Strom Thurmond (D-SC): "This so-called Civil Rights Proposals, which the President has sent to Capitol Hill for enactment into law, are unconstitutional, unnecessary, unwise and extend beyond the realm of reason. This is the worst civil-rights package ever presented to the Congress and is reminiscent of the Reconstruction proposals and actions of the radical Republican Congress."[18]

bolding mine

99% of the opposition were the Democrats.

Clearly you have no interest in factual history after I've already schooled you twice on Composition Fallacy. Here you are running it out again expecting different results.

This time I'm just gonna pick off some juicy points.

No it was Democrats who fought the 1957 CRA with Filibuster and low yes votes:

Once AGAIN it was SOUTHERNERS. Your own next line acknowledges that.

The Democratic Senate Majority Leader, Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, realized that the bill and its journey through Congress could tear apart his party, as southern Democrats opposed civil rights, and its northern members were more favorable.

Not to be outdone, you then did it AGAIN in the 1964 section. Roll tape.

Said Russell: "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our (Southern) states."[17]

YOUR OWN POST, dood.

Next in line please.

"Then-Democratic Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, an ardent segregationist, sustained the longest one-person filibuster in history in an attempt to keep the bill from becoming law.

Strom Thurmond, who gained his Senate seat as a write-in after the Democratic Party kicked him off the state ballot. And who then took his balls and went Republican when he couldn't stop LBJ and the CRA.

It's kinda funny poking holes in desperation posts.

You are a dishonest person who keeps moving the goalpost, I was making the OBVIOUS point that it was Democrats who strongly opposed the CRA of 1957 and again in 1964, the Republicans NEVER did that. All but one Filibuster were from Democrats, senior Democrats tried to stop the bills process:

"Johnson sent the bill to the Senate Judiciary Committee, led by Democratic Senator James Eastland of Mississippi, who drastically altered the bill."

bolding mine

and,

"The goal of the 1957 civil rights act was to ensure that all Americans could exercise their right to vote. By 1957, only about 20% of blacks were registered to vote. Despite being the majority in numerous counties and congressional districts in the South, most blacks had been effectively disfranchised by discriminatory voter registration rules and laws in those states since the late 19th and early 20th centuries that were heavily instituted and propagated by Southern Democrats."

bolding mine

and,

"Normally, the bill would have been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator James O. Eastland, Democrat from Mississippi. Given Eastland's firm opposition, it seemed impossible that the bill would reach the Senate floor. Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield took a novel approach to prevent the bill from being relegated to Judiciary Committee limbo. "

bolding mine

Here is a section you conveniently ignored, because you are very dishonest, 1957 CRA:

The bill passed 285-126 in the House of Representatives with a majority of both parties' support (Republicans 167–19, Democrats 118–107)[4] It then passed 72-18 in the Senate, again with a majority of both parties (Republicans 43–0, Democrats 29–18).[5] President Eisenhower signed the bill on September 9, 1957. "

Republicans overwhelmingly supported it, while Democrat barely passed it, this is the ENTIRE Congress vote.

1964 CRA

"By party

The original House version:[22]

• Democratic Party: 152–96 (61–39%)
• Republican Party: 138–34 (80–20%)

Cloture in the Senate:[23]

• Democratic Party: 44–23 (66–34%)
• Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

The Senate version:[22]

• Democratic Party: 46–21 (69–31%)
• Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[22]

• Democratic Party: 153–91 (63–37%)
• Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%"

Once again by total vote Republicans voted yes by a lot higher percentage than the Democrats.

Recap:

It was the REPUBLICANS who gave the Blacks Citizenship, right to vote and end Slavery. all over strong Democrat opposition. Republicans NEVER supported the 1857 Dreadful Scott decision or the Plessy v. Ferguson of 1896 or resisted the Brown vs, Board of Education of 1954 with 9-0 decision.

It was ONLY Democrats who resisted the ruling, NEVER a Republican, from Wikipedia

"Deep South
Texas Attorney General John Ben Shepperd organized a campaign to generate legal obstacles to implementation of desegregation.[50]

In 1957, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus called out his state's National Guard to block black students' entry to Little Rock Central High School. President Dwight Eisenhower responded by deploying elements of the 101st Airborne Division from Fort Campbell, Kentucky, to Arkansas and by federalizing Arkansas's National Guard.[51]

Also in 1957, Florida's response was mixed. Its legislature passed an Interposition Resolution denouncing the decision and declaring it null and void. But Florida Governor LeRoy Collins, though joining in the protest against the court decision, refused to sign it, arguing that the attempt to overturn the ruling must be done by legal methods.

In Mississippi fear of violence prevented any plaintiff from bringing a school desegregation suit for the next nine years.[52] When Medgar Evers sued to desegregate Jackson, Mississippi schools in 1963 White Citizens Council member Byron De La Beckwith murdered him.[53] Two subsequent trials resulted in hung juries. Beckwith was not convicted of the murder until 1994.[54]

In 1963, Alabama Gov. George Wallace personally blocked the door to Foster Auditorium at the University of Alabama to prevent the enrollment of two black students. This became the infamous Stand in the Schoolhouse Door[55] where Wallace personally backed his "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" policy that he had stated in his 1963 inaugural address.[56] He moved aside only when confronted by General Henry Graham of the Alabama National Guard, who was ordered by President John F. Kennedy to intervene.

Upland South
In North Carolina, there was often a strategy of nominally accepting Brown, but tacitly resisting it. On May 18, 1954 the Greensboro, North Carolina school board declared that it would abide by the Brown ruling. This was the result of the initiative of D. E. Hudgins Jr., a former Rhodes Scholar and prominent attorney, who chaired the school board. This made Greensboro the first, and for years the only, city in the South, to announce its intent to comply. However, others in the city resisted integration, putting up legal obstacles[how?] to the actual implementation of school desegregation for years afterward, and in 1969, the federal government found the city was not in compliance with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Transition to a fully integrated school system did not begin until 1971, after numerous local lawsuits and both nonviolent and violent demonstrations. Historians have noted the irony that Greensboro, which had heralded itself as such a progressive city, was one of the last holdouts for school desegregation.[57][58]

In Moberly, Missouri, the schools were desegregated, as ordered. However, after 1955, the African-American teachers from the local "negro school" were not retained; this was ascribed to poor performance. They appealed their dismissal in Naomi Brooks et al., Appellants, v. School District of City of Moberly, Missouri, Etc., et al.; but it was upheld, and SCOTUS declined to hear a further appeal.[59][60]"

You aint got shit.

100% of the Republicans in the South voted AGAINST the 1964 Civil Rights Act while the majority (but not all) of the Democrats did. The MAJORITY of Democrats in the North voted FOR the Civil Rights Act.

After the Act was signed by LBJ (a Democrat) we started to see Southern Democrats (those who voted against the CRA) migrate to the Republican Party. People like Trent Lott and Strom Thurmond.

And of course you can still see Barry Goldwater in his interviews trying to take the conservative stance when LBJ and Kennedy abandoned their southern conservative voters by moving to be more liberal and fighting for Civil rights. Where Goldwater would employ the start of the Republican Southern Strategy by opposing civil rights in the name of saying the gov't was going too far.

Then of course look at the Republican vote on the Civil Rights restoration act of 1987, and the Civil rights act of 1991 to see that go further. It's kind of sad how human rights history from Republicans has to stop over 50 years ago. Can't get into later civil rights acts, gay rights, transgender rights, etc.... Because they picked up what was left of the conservative Democrats and made them their own.

Ahhh yes, Nixon's "southern Strategy" prompted by his political strategist Kevin Phillips. Who after realizing going full racist like Goldwater wasn't a good solution, said this "From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that... but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats."

Just to clear this up:

Black voters in Harlem voted in about the same percentages as blacks in Mississippi did before that, for instance; liberal states like New York and California had literacy tests at the time.

--- implies New York and California were screening out black people à la Alabama ---- those literacy tests were not race-specific, did not grandfather white people, and were aimed at language, not race. A voter had to demonstrate proficiency in English --- as opposed to in Spanish or Chinese or Italian. In effect an "official language" law.

The Republican Party should have nominated Margaret Chase Smith in 1964. A lot could have been different.
