Disingenuous Republicans forget American political history

[John T. Ford]

Who cares? He got the Civil Rights Act passed..and really..that's all that matters. Racist or not...his support of the Bill was arguably the most important advancment of race relations since the Emancipation Proclamation.

Personalities do not matter..legal results matter.

You have me laughing just a bit..as the wingers on this board are constantly trying to rewrite history..misrepresent the Democrats of today by trying to hang the misdeeds of the Dems of 1865. You constantly ignore the fact that the parties switched ideological position...mainly because of the race issue.

History is what it is..and no-one with a brain buys into any of that crap. The same thing goes with the idiots that claim that Fascism is a left wing ideology and Hitler was a Socialist..as were the Nazis! You have to be truly stupid to believe that!

American patriots who understand and respect the history of this Great Nation.

That would exclude the psycho Leftist in this Country who are only interested in erasing the Racist past of the Democrat Party and rewriting history to suit their Marxist agenda.

I do believe the 15th amendment was passed well before the architect of the new improved plantation society was born. Then again I also believe it was the Democratic party that repressed Black Voter's in the south at the polls, further more segregation was the status quo of your beloved Dim party. So who forgot or is attempting to rewrite history? Nice try

 

[John T. Ford]

Why does he get credit for hte Bill, but not the REpublcians that voted for it?

We see this psycho shit all the time from the Left.

They are simply trying to rewrite history to erase the Democrat Party's racist past.

IM2 is a direct product of LBJ, because LBJ stated that he keep them n-'s voting democrat for the next 50 years. LBJ molded IM2.

 

[IM2]

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was proposed by a Republican and a Democrat.

In the House there were 62 Democrats who voted against it and 23 Republicans.

In the Senate 17 Democrats voted against it with only 2 Republicans opposing it.

LBJ was one of the most Racist President this Country has seen.

The Racist Democrat Party was an obstacle to this legislation just like it was to the Civil Rights Act.

This thread is a LIE and another example of how the Left is ALWAYS trying to erase their RACIST past and rewrite history.

The majority of democrats and republicans voted for the bill. That's why this disingenuous turd does post the vote totals.

47 democrats voted for it in the senate. 30 republicans did.

So as you look at the congressional record, you see that more democrats voted for the bill than republicans.

More DISINGENUOUS BULLSHIT ....

There were many more Democrats in Congress than Republicans.

Here is how the numbers actually read.

In the House ... with 283 Democrats voting:
There were 221 Democrats who voted for it and 62 Democrats who voted against it.

In the House ... with 135 Republicans voting:
There were 112 Republicans who voted for it and 23 Republicans who voted against it.

In the Senate ... with 64 Democrats voting:
There were 47 Democrats who voted for it and 17 Democrats who voted against it.

In the Senate ... with 32 Republicans voting:
There were 30 Republicans who voted for it and 2 Republicans who voted against it.

Clearly the Democrat Party was an obstacle to getting the Voting Rights Act passed.

Just like it was an obstacle in getting the Civil Rights Act passed.

This thread is just another attempt from the Racist POS's on the Left to erase their racist past and rewrite history.

This is not a republican. And republicans had presidents before this one. But they did nothing.

President Johnson's March 15, 1965 Voting Rights Speech to Congress

Ha ha ha,

Democrats had majority control of congress at the time, not only that Republicans voted yes at a much higher rate than the Democrats for the Civil Rights act.

The Daily Signal

Excerpt:

The House passed the bill after 70 days of public hearings and testimony in a 290-130 vote. The bill received 152 “yea” votes from Democrats, or 60 percent of their party, and 138 votes from Republicans, or 78 percent of their party.

These percentages include four vote categories—“yea,” “nay,” “present,” and “not voting.”

In the Senate, the bill faced strong and organized opposition from Southern Democrats. Influential senators like Richard Russell, Strom Thurmond (who would soon switch to the Republican Party), Robert Byrd, William Fulbright, and Sam Ervin joined together to launch a filibuster that lasted for 57 days.

Russell, a Democrat from Georgia, at one point argued that the bill would lead to the destruction of the South’s “two different social orders” and result in the “amalgamation and mongrelization of our people.”

After some changes were made to the bill and the filibuster ended, it passed the Senate with a 73-27 vote. About 82 percent of Republicans in the Senate voted for the bill, as did 69 percent of Democrats. The amended Senate bill was then sent back to the House where it passed with 76 percent support from Republicans and 60 percent support from Democrats.

You need to improve your history knowledge.

Take any historical figure then cherry pick the parts of their past that support whatever narrative you are trying to push very typical today.

Your dishonesty is hurting you here since Democrats had a STRONG majority in the Senate and a significant majority in the House, in the 1963-65 time frame of course their yes vote total will be higher, but YOU left out the percentage of the yes and no votes, here it is from Wikipedia:


By Party

The original House version:[25]

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

Cloture in the Senate:[26]

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

The Senate version:[25]

• Republican Party: 27–6 (82–18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:[25]

• Republican Party: 136–35 (80–20%)

I have known this fact for many years, but YOU didn't know......

You have been schooled!

 

[Staidhup]

I just love it when an uneducated liberal attempts to spin truth and reinvent historical fact. I guess this is why they demand removal of statues, hell the next thing they will demand is the voting records be expunged from congressional archives. LBJ was a real winner. When will they remove his statues and busts?

I wonder when IM2 is going to discover it's 2020 ? ...

I've often wondered when you discovered you were going to discover it is not 632?

 

[Persistence Of Memory]

I wonder when IM2 is going to discover it's 2020 ? ...

Maybe one day you'll stop smoking opium and understand that we are talking about lies republicans here repeat daily in 2020. Now remember that it's 2020 when you tell me how the democratic party is the party of slavery.

You do realize that you would not have been born for it not for slavery. Would 13% of the population give their life if it didn't happen? Maybe 2?

I would have been born in Africa. You are a real dumb ass.

If there had not been slavery, the probability that the exact sperm and exact egg would ever match up to produce you is Zero. There would be people born, but none of them would be you (and none of them would be me).

And none of them would be black either.

[Sun Devil 92]

Why are you posting a video of a racist?

Don't avoid the topic. Republicans did not propose voting rights to congress. .

True believers will never think outside the box of ignorance.

Is that your excuse ?
