are you claiming that Byrd and Gore were conservative republicans?
Mississippi voted for goldwater because of his conservative views on the role of the federal government, not civil rights issues.
So now you're claiming that the 90 year Democratic majority in Mississippi was not segregationist?
Holy **** on a bun!
Nope, thats exactly what they were, they were also democrats. The Goldwater campaign was not pro-segregation. Where do you fools get this crap?
You go back and read post 84 and then tell me why Colmer, a Democrat, endorsed Goldwater.
from wiki:
Originally elected as a supporter of President
Franklin D. Roosevelt's
New Deal, Colmer became increasingly conservative as the years passed. He became disenchanted as the national Democratic Party began to support the
African-American Civil Rights Movement. After the
Brown v. Board of Education decision by the
United States Supreme Court, ruling that public school segregation was unconstitutional, Colmer helped to get Southern Democrat congressmen to sign the "
Southern Manifesto" declaring their resistance.
Colmer endorsed the
Republican Party candidates
Richard Nixon for
president in 1960, 1968 and 1972, and
Barry Goldwater in 1964. Because of his seniority, he advanced to the position as chairman of the
Rules Committee, serving from 1967 to 1973.
clearly he was not a segregationist. So your previous claim that southerners voted for goldwater to promote segregation was bunk.
does it hurt to be trapped by your own cites?
