The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed with 80% of the Aye vote cast by members of Congress representing States which remained in the Union during the Civil War. Less than 10% of the members of Congress who served the 11 member States of the Confederacy supported the bill.
Thus all of those above who claim Republicans were the good guys and Democrats were the bad guys are liars, liars by omission of the essential facts.
The vote was regional
'
Robert Byrd was a member of which party? Al Gore Sr was a member of which party?
this is about party, not geography.
Again, a lie by omission and of ignorance. Al Gore Sr. was a Democratic Senator from Tenn and Tenn. was a member of the Confederacy and Al Gore Sr. Vote Against the Civil Rights Act.
Byrd was a Democrat, and if you had the ability to read, you would understand that 80% of the Northern Vote supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In fact Byrd participated in the 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. 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."
I never lie.
Clearly, my education and research is far better and more extensive than that of a moron like you, who's every attempt is to hide the racism of the Democrat/Liberals.
More:
1. First of all, the Democrats didn’t pass the Civil Rights Bill of 1964. That bill, along with every civil rights bill for the preceding century, was supported by substantially more Republicans than Democrats.
2. Second, the South kept voting for Democrats for decades after that 1964 act. And, btw, Democrats continued to win a plurality of votes in southern congressional elections for the next 30 years…right up to 1994.

First of all, not all Democrats are liberals, and the Democrats who did not support the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were Conservative, i.e. Blue Dog Democrats and from the former Confederate States (set aside Byrd).
The vast majority of liberals are not racists, some can be bigots. For example, I cannot tolerate arrogant, self righteous jerks, like PoliticalChic - and that makes me both a bigot and someone with good judgment.
"First of all, not all Democrats are liberals, and the Democrats who did not support the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were Conservative,..."
Another lie from the liar.
Let's see how conservative the racist Democrat Liberals were:
"The most important points: all the segregationists in the Senate were Democrats, and remained same for the rest of their lives…except for one. And they were not conservative.
- Strom Thurmond became a Republican, albeit 16 years later. Lets see how many of the 12 in the Senate were conservative.
