A higher percentage of Republicans voted for the CRA than did Democrats. You'll have to change your timeline.
Not by region they didn't.
By party they did. Like I said, Republicans over Democrats.
Wrong again, but then you are on a roll.
Actually it was non-Southerners over Southerners. In true bipartisan fashion.
And btw it's "as I said" in English, not "like I said".
Not wrong, right.

Yawn. Done this a thousand times before, including before that Guardian article I just linked and you didn't read.
Such as here:
Once again for the slow readers:
There is a discernible pattern -- but 82% versus 66% doesn't show it. You run for office and end up with either of those numbers, you won. Easily.
I got your pattern right here, Pal -- the one you're so desperately trying to smokescreen:
The original House version:
- Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
- Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
- >>> ALL SOUTHERNERS: 7-97 (6.7%--93.3%)
- Non-Southern Democrats: 145–9 (94 – 6%)
- Non-Southern Republicans: 138–24 (85 – 15%)
- >>> ALL NONSOUTHERNERS: 283-33 (89.6%--11.4%)
The Senate version:
- Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%)
- Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%)
- Non-Southern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%)
- Non-Southern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
- ALL SOUTHERNERS: 1--21 (4.5%--95.5%)
- ALL NONSOUTHERNERS: 72--6 (92.3%--7.7%)
Yes, there is a party pattern in that each line shows more support from the D side than the R side. But again, 94 versus 85 on one side is not significant.
But
96 on one side versus 92 on the other side?? You just hit the motherlode.
NOW you can cite polarization. BIG time.
The numbers don't lie; your pattern is clearly there but it's
regional, not political. And
regional, once again for you slow readers who can't think of a point on your own and lean on partisan hack bullshit, means
cultural.
You take the numbers from the North -- both Dems and Repubs are for it.
You take the numbers from the South -- both Dems and Repubs are agin' it.
It's truly bipartisan in both directions. (!)
And to think people bitch about "gridlock".
All them numbers is right from your own link btw. Done years ago.
Canard obliterated. /offtopic
And FWIW it was right after this that whiner Strom Thurmond took his balls and went to the unthinkable and joined the RP. Followed by Lott, Helms, Duke and a cast of thousands.
