Republicans — Not Democrats — Gave Women Right to Vote

[easyt65]

I'm afraid there is no "party of slavery". Slavery was a social institution that (a) was going on long before there was a country or political parties and (b) never needed a political party to exist.

Sorry to disagree with you, but I do. 'Slavery' is not perpetrated only with chains and whips. There is emotional slavery in messed up relationships. There is also ECONOMIC slavery, perpetrated through policies meant to 'enslave' people in poverty', making them completely dependent ... on the government. Democrats have held blacks in 'economic slavery' for decades while portraying themselves as their heroes because they kept / keep dishing out the social program benefits they relied on to survive.

Obama had a record number of Americans on Welfare and Food Stamps.

Trump broke the chains of that economic slavery, getting record numbers of Americans OFF of Food tamps and Welfare
- Strongest economy in decades
- Lowest unemployment in decades
- Lowest MINORITY unemployment in recorded history
- Most Americans working at 1 time
- More job growth opportunity
- Higher wages, raises, and bonuses....

Democrats relied on votes kept secured from those held in economic slavery....that's why they hate Trump's success and seek to reverse it. The more Americans are doing well, the fewer Americans are relying on social programs to survive, which means less dependency on the govt / THEM ... which means fewer votes for them.

The massive numbers of Americans 'freed' from off the 'economic slavery plantation' are being replaced, though, by millions of unskilled illegal immigrant labor who have nothing and rely / will rely on the Democrats to survive....making more 'thankful' voters for the Democrats....

"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."

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 ***** for snowflakes who try to twist, spin, and misrepresent reality.

Pretty much unmitigated bullshit right there. The CRA was pushed by LBJ, Humphrey and Mansfield along with allies like Dirksen, and many Republican arms had to be twisted ("Goddam it, you're either the party of Lincoln or you ain't"--- LBJ). And the Klan wasn't created by a political party at all, a fact I've proven over and over and over on this board.

More to the big picture, "Democrats" and "Republicans" of 1900 or 1860 are in no way what "Democrats" and "Republicans" are now other than the name, and to pretend political parties are some ideologically static stone that never changes is mendacious bullshit. The Republicans of Lincoln were the Liberals. Think of them like a radio station that plays oldies for years and decides it's not working and shifts to a sports format, yet their call letters remain the same.

I agree that Mike Mansfield (was a moderate, and never a segregationist from MONTANA) was a deciding factor in getting up to vote, as he has to deal with a Segregationist Democrat, from Wikipedia:

"The bill was reported out of the Judiciary Committee in November 1963 and referred to the Rules Committee, whose chairman, Howard W. Smith, a Democrat and staunch segregationist from Virginia, indicated his intention to keep the bill bottled up indefinitely."

bolding mine

It was Mansfield who figured out a way to move it along to a vote:

"Johnson, who wanted the bill passed as soon as possible, ensured that the bill would be quickly considered by the Senate. 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. Having initially waived a second reading of the bill, which would have led to it being immediately referred to Judiciary, Mansfield gave the bill a second reading on February 26, 1964, and then proposed, in the absence of precedent for instances when a second reading did not immediately follow the first, that the bill bypass the Judiciary Committee and immediately be sent to the Senate floor for debate.

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."

Robert Byrd a long time Democrat was a filibuster of the bill to for 14 hours, which was stopped by Hubert Humphrey (another democrat moderate from Minnesota) when he got enough votes to end it.

The opposition was 100% between democrats over this bill, not a single organized opposition by the Republicans, who overwhelmingly voted yes to the bill (80-82%) at a much higher rate than the democrats 66-69%

Fairly accurate up to the last part, where it falls to pieces in trying to court a Composition Fallacy.

What set the pro and con sides apart in the CRA 64 was not political party at all ---- it was geography.

90% of Congress from states that were not part of the Confederacy voted in favor while less than 10% from the old Confederate states voted for it. This 80 point difference between regions is far greater than the 15 point difference between political parties, so trying to make political tribalism bullshit points out of this glaring obviousity is just hackery. If anything within each disparate region Democrats were slightly more, not less, likely to vote for it than Republicans.

Under this kind of cherrypicking we might as well analyze which members of Congress were born under Sagittarius or lefthanded or had a large shoe size.

Republicans of yesterday year were decent folks. Surprise, things change. No present day white racists are democrat anymore.. If they're any political party at all, they're republican. That includes KKK and nazis.

Fun fact: the first Affirmative Action program was kicked off by Richard Nixon. That is, if you don't count the "forty acres and a mule" of the post-Civil War reparations. Both Republicans.

I'm not sure why you go on trying to push these Composition Fallacies when you know damn well they're going to be bulldozed.

The Democrats of old, filled with racism and hate - the one that started up the KKK,

.

Once AGAIN --- no political party started the KKK. That group was started by six twentysomething ex-Confederate soldiers who had no political affiliations, in a place where political parties did not exist anyway. Want their names?

Alpha order: (Maj) James Crowe; Calvin Jones; (Capt) John B. Kennedy; (Capt) John Lester; (Maj) Frank O. McCord; Richard R. Reed. 205 West Madison Street in Pulaski Tennessee, Christmas Eve 1865. About eight o'clock.

NONE had any known political affiliations, nor were any political parties available in a land that was having no elections and was not part of the United States.

Prove me wrong or admit you're pushing mythology.

True the party itself didn't, but the PEOPLE who did were all from the democratically dominated states and fought as a Confederates. In the 1870's it was the Republicans who got a few blacks into political office, NONE of them were supported by Democrats, while the same KKK and other peoples opposed it. Then when "Reconstruction" ended, it was the Democrats through KKK and their new legislative majorities in the southern states, pushed the blacks out of office.

Your "democrats didn't do it" claims isn't supported by history either since it was the DEMOCRATS who overwhelmingly opposed the three Amendments passed between 1866-1870 by the Republicans, granting Citizenship, Voting and ending Slavery.

The KKK no longer existed when Reconstruction ended. It was gone by 1872. Democrats did oppose those Amendments, and that of course is the Democrats of the 1870s. It seems like you're still trying to push Composition Fallacy here.

See my radio station analogy in post 10. Then tune in that station babbling about whether Brett Favre is really retired, and ask them to play The Coasters. Same thing.

The biggest mistake in political history of the country... along with other extensions of voting rights. We were never supposed to be a democracy, and I would attribute our fall in large part to it. There isn't a single good thing that has come out of the extended voting rights. Instead we have gotten bigger and bigger government obsessed with replacing its own population. Today you can vote in American elections without ever even having stepped onto the soil.

Republicans have always had the feature of wanting to appear as not racist as possible, no matter how hard it ***** them and their kind in the ass. Conservatives who fail to conserve anything are the definition of failure.

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.

......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."

The biggest mistake in political history of the country... along with other extensions of voting rights. We were never supposed to be a democracy, and I would attribute our fall in large part to it. There isn't a single good thing that has come out of the extended voting rights. Instead we have gotten bigger and bigger government obsessed with replacing its own population. Today you can vote in American elections without ever even having stepped onto the soil.

Republicans have always had the feature of wanting to appear as not racist as possible, no matter how hard it ***** them and their kind in the ass. Conservatives who fail to conserve anything are the definition of failure.

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.

You're stuck in the same fallacy I already pointed out in the CRA post --- it was the SOUTHERNERS who stood in the way of black voting, civil rights etc.

That's exactly why LBJ mused "we (Democrats) have lost the South for a generation". THINK about it.

Ya gotta love today's Republicans trying to take credit for what Republicans did 100 or 150 years ago.

That Republican party bore NO resemblance to the one we have today

In fact today;s Republican Party bears no resemblance to even the Republican Party of Eisenhower

Sure didn't take long for the Party Switch Myth to show up.

"Prager U". Dismissed.

Get an actual history book.

I already read The Prince of Darkness and know about the realignment of parties and how the right wing went Republican and the left wing went Democrat, after the civil war. The right wing has nothing but special pleading and disingenuity.

And despite these claims the fact remains that Republicans pushed for and successfully got passed into law Civil Rights and the right for women to vote. Meanwhile today the Democratic party has embraced the platforms of Anti-Semitism, Pro-Illegal Immigration / Pro-Illegals voting, killing newborn babies, etc....

Yup, Democrats have 'evolved' from their KKK - and militant Black Panther (and now Antifa) - Days.

Republicans might have done it sooner, but were distracted by trying to get the democrats to free their slaves.
