Conservative Confederates in the south were Democrats but became Republicans

[Vigilante]

Why are we arguing this?

Of course the OP is true.

Who cares?

Apparently the subversive OP cared or he wouldn't have posted it, and been embarrassed by the facts that the small amount of changes meant nothing significant!

What matters is that women, Hispanics, and other minorities will have twice as money votes are white males in the next presidential election.

Approximately 70 percent of all white men in the United States ages 18 and over are registered to vote, and about 63 percent of all white American men actually participated in the presidential election year of 2008.
From those figures, we can assume that about 52.9 million white males voted in the 2008 General Elections, making up about 40.3 percent of all the votes cast.

In the 2010 congressional elections, white men made up approximately 38 percent of all participating voters. Only white women represented a larger percentage of the votes cast (40 percent).

Being the last election 56% of the woman vote went Democratic, and being Obumacare WILL be a big election point in 2014, along with the over 90 MILLION now unemployed, and scheduled to lose their unemployment benefits that RUN OUT, and being so many are now being laid off as the TAX PENALTY for ObumaCare is about to hit many employers (perhaps you didn't see that latest decree... look it up) things appear to be going in the RIGHTS direction. Honestly, it's more FUN for me to paste a cartoon that lampoons you jerks, while getting across a message than trying to explain things to 2 digit IQ minds!

Conservative Confederates in the south were Democrats but became Republicans in the middle 1960's. Do Republicans on the USMB understand that?

Lincoln was not a confederate.

The KKK was started by confederate conservatives that were in the Democratic Party until blacks started joining. Then they fled the Democrats and became Republicans.

This is just the simple truth. How is it USMB Republicans don't understand this history?

What are the names of all of the ones who switched from Dem's to Repub's in the middle of the 1960's rdean?

During the 1960's there were 26 leading Democrats from the South that switched to the Republican Party while only 2 Republicans switched. The shift toward Republican candidates and independents by Democrats was even more dramatic. The reason southerners left the party can be summed up in one word, integration. With Kennedy and Johnson ramming integration down their throat many segregationist found they could not support the Democratic party.

You are excluding southern state and local office holders in the South. The figures I gave are a more accurate picture of the movement from Democrat to Republican in South in the 1960's.

The movement to the Republican party continued into the 70's and 80's with such noted segregationist as:

• David Duke, Grand Wiizard of the Knights of the KKK
• Jesse Helms - who opposed both the Civil Rights Act and the Voters Rights Act and who filibustered for 16 hours in opposition to Martin Luther King day.
• Strom Thurmond, a long term segregationist who switched parties because of his opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act
• Trent Lott - who sided with segregationist and supported Strom Thurmond's fight against integration.

The more blacks that registered as Democrats in the South, the more white segregationists switched to the Republican party.

 

[Vigilante]

During the 1960's there were 26 leading Democrats from the South that switched to the Republican Party while only 2 Republicans switched. The shift toward Republican candidates and independents by Democrats was even more dramatic. The reason southerners left the party can be summed up in one word, integration. With Kennedy and Johnson ramming integration down their throat many segregationist found they could not support the Democratic party.

Party switching in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So there was a TOTAL of 315 DEMOCRATS in the 1964 Congress and by MY COUNT by the 1964 Civil Right act, 8 EIGHT democrats COMBINED changed from Democraps to Republicans....and EIGHT is the number YOU TURKEYS are stuck with that changed party, and meant NOTHING in the voting.... Aren't you guys OCDing with Pogo over this LOST ISSUE, or is it that THIS is the only piece of SHIT you have to make an issue of????...Oh, the ENTERTAINMENT, and the lefty's derangement....PRICELESS!

You are excluding southern state and local office holders in the South. The figures I gave are a more accurate picture of the movement from Democrat to Republican in South in the 1960's.

The movement to the Republican party continued into the 70's and 80's with such noted segregationist as:

• David Duke, Grand Wiizard of the Knights of the KKK
• Jesse Helms - who opposed both the Civil Rights Act and the Voters Rights Act and who filibustered for 16 hours in opposition to Martin Luther King day.
• Strom Thurmond, a long term segregationist who switched parties because of his opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act
• Trent Lott - who sided with segregationist and supported Strom Thurmond's fight against integration.

The more blacks that registered as Democrats in the South, the more white segregationists switched to the Republican party.

There's the list...how many Federal, State, and local democrats were there since ONLY 46 changed in 20 years.... multiple THOUSANDS in ALL 50 states?

What you're aren't considering is these are political leaders with a multitude of followers. For every one leader that makes the change, thousands follow. Unfortunately there is no listing of the number of voters that followed them to the Republican party but Republican gains in the South speak for them selves. Before integration in the deep south there wasn't a single state legislature or governorship controlled by the Republicans. Today they are all Republican and it started with integration in the mid 20th century and segregationists abandoning the Democratic party. I can't believe you would think that southern segregationist would stay in the Democratic party with growing number of blacks.

Supposition, hearsay, wishful thinking, and absolutely NO PROOF of that! Just more subversive whining! You ever get a COUNT on how many Democrats were in power positions during the period that the 46 people changed parties???

You fail to consider that these are political leaders with thousands that followed them into the Republican party. The Republican success in the Deep South speaks for itself. Before integration, there were no Republican governors or Republican controlled legislatures in the deep south. Today they're all Republican and it started with integration in the mid 20th century and white democrats abandoning the party.

It's pretty silly to even consider that white segregation in the South would remain in the Democratic party with throngs of new blacks entering the party when they could switch to the lily white Republican party.

If you think white segregationists in the South would support a party that was becoming increasing black, passed welfare legislation that would send billions of dollars to blacks in south, and integrated their schools at gunpoint, then you know nothing about the South in mid 20th century.

Is that why most Northern cities today have such high black crime, murders and assaults rates, have the most poor blacks held captive by entitlements that keep them that way (the just give them enough to get by and they'll vote for us), and are run by Democrats?

Beside an OCDing hyperactive retard that likes to use big words to make himself look important, we have another case of SPS... Dandy can't stay on topic of political parties, apparently unable to handle that situation, and when I give him a small question, he diverts and seems to not have the IQ to answer it... Just another 2 digit IQ'd freak, that wants to rule USMB!

You sir, are a FARCE, and great source of my entertainment .... the laughs will never stop with you! Please more entertainment!

No, it's because those cities with the highest violent crime rates, (Flint Michigan, Detroit, Oakland, St. Louis, and Memphis have some of the highest poverty rates. Since republicans have little interest in helping the poor, democrats are strong in these areas.
