More democrats voted for civil rights than republicans. A Democratic president advocated for the law, and after the law was passed, Republicans nominated a presidential candidate that voted against civil rights.
Ah, neat way to mislead everyone with fuzzy numbers. The OP didn't skip, you skipped the facts, because you can't handle them.
With a little research, the actual voting record for both Houses of Congress shows that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed the Senate on a 73-to-27 vote.
The Democratic supermajority in the Senate split their vote 46 (69%) for and 21 (31%) against. The
Republicans, on the other hand, split their vote 27 for (82%) and 6 against (18%). Thus, the no vote consisted of 78% Democrats. Further, the infamous 74-day filibuster was led by the Southern Democrats, who overwhelmingly voted against the act.
An examination of the House vote shows a similar pattern. The House voted 290 to 130 in favor.
Democrats split their vote 152 (61%) to 96 (39%) while
Republicans split theirs 138 (80%) to 34 (20%). The no vote consisted of 74% Democrats. Clearly, the 1964 Civil Rights Act could not have been passed without the leadership of Republicans such as Everett Dirksen and the votes of Republicans. As the online Wall Street Journal so aptly subtitled Mr. Steele's article, "Trent Lott jeopardizes the very productive ideas his party stands for."
I'll dumb it down so a leftist can understand it.
