Yep, I called it. You know, it's really not my fault if you feel your toes stepped on.
Richard Nixon kicked off his historic comeback in 1966 with a column on the South (by this writer) that declared we would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense, and leave it to the “party of Maddox, Mahoney and Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.”
In that ’66 campaign, Nixon – who had been thanked personally by Dr. King for his help in passing the Civil Rights Act of 1957 – endorsed all Republicans, except members of the John Birch Society.
In 1968, Nixon chose Spiro Agnew for vice president. Why? Agnew had routed George (“Your home is your castle!”Mahoney for governor of Maryland but had also criticized civil-rights leaders who failed to condemn the riots that erupted after the assassination of King. The Agnew of 1968 was both pro-civil rights and pro-law and order.
When the ’68 campaign began, Nixon was at 42 percent, Humphrey at 29 percent, Wallace at 22 percent. When it ended, Nixon and Humphrey were tied at 43 percent, with Wallace at 13 percent. The 9 percent of the national vote that had been peeled off from Wallace had gone to Humphrey.
Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon – who believed that blacks had gotten a raw deal in America and wanted to extend a helping hand:
•raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent;
•doubled the budget for black colleges;
•appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;
•adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and universities;
•invented “Black Capitalism” (the Office of Minority Business Enterprise), raised U.S. purchases from black businesses from $9 million to $153 million, increased small business loans to minorities 1,000 percent, increased U.S. deposits in minority-owned banks 4,000 percent;
•raised the share of Southern schools that were desegregated from 10 percent to 70 percent. Wrote the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights in 1975, “It has only been since 1968 that substantial reduction of racial segregation has taken place in the South.”
The charge that we built our Republican coalition on race is a lie. Nixon routed the left because it had shown itself incompetent to win or end a war into which it had plunged the United States and too befuddled or cowardly to denounce the rioters burning our cities or the brats rampaging on our campuses.
Nixon led America out of a dismal decade and was rewarded with a 49-state landslide. By one estimate, he carried 18 percent of the black vote in 1972 and 25 percent in the South. No Republican has since matched that. To see Kristol colluding with the Times to rewrite that history to make liberals heroes and Republicans villains tells us more about him than about the era.
And where were the necons, when Goldwaterites and Nixonites were building the New Majority? Going all the way with LBJ.
I hear PLENTY of mordern day republicans crying about this on a daily basis. I hear PLENTY of modern day republicans crying about this on a daily basis. I hear PLENTY of modern day republicans crying about this on a daily basis. I hear PLENTY of modern day republicans crying about this on a daily basis.
I don't haft to address what that person says, I gave you info stats and facts from people who were there, and involved in the "southern strategy" You not so much, I could give a shit what Lee Atwater says...Who is he again? Lee Atwater
SECONDLY; what you claim about what Nixon passed, is the ANTITHESIS to the republicans of today.
Ok, those "words" were from Lee Atwater who was: Harvey LeRoy "Lee" Atwater (February 27, 1951 – March 29, 1991) was an American political consultant and strategist to the Republican Party. He was an advisor of U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush and Chairman of the Republican National Committee. I think that's a PRETY CREDIBLE CITATION. The next citation was from; Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman. The next one was from Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. What's wrong with those citations?
Which MLK are you referring to and where's your proof? That said, I wouldn't doubt if he was a republican when he had to face the southern democrat bigots of his time.
Let's address those "good things" about Nixon;
"Richard Nixon kicked off his historic comeback in 1966 with a column on the South (by this writer) that declared we would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense, and leave it to the “party of Maddox, Mahoney and Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice.”

Between 1969 and 1974, Nixon – who believed that blacks had gotten a raw deal in America and wanted to extend a helping hand:
•raised the civil rights enforcement budget 800 percent; (Isn't that more "big government"?
•doubled the budget for black colleges;( Isn't that supporting racial hiring quotas that you republicans seem to rail against on a daily basis??)
•appointed more blacks to federal posts and high positions than any president, including LBJ;( Isn't that supporting racial hiring quotas that you republicans seem to rail against on a daily basis??)
•adopted the Philadelphia Plan mandating quotas for blacks in unions, and for black scholars in colleges and universities;( Isn't that supporting racial hiring quotas that you republicans seem to rail against on a daily basis??)

Aren't modern day republicans against such "quotas"???

Yeah, run away from the fact that he was a republican strategist and adviser to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
Secondly, a MAJORITY of those plans and 'achievements' by Nixon, would be the VERY THINGS that some modern day republicans CRY ABOUT ON A DAILY BASIS!
