Democrats had an almost 2 to 1 margin in Congress, but they were divided over Civil Rights—northern liberals for it and Southerners against it. So, Democrats were divided over Civil Rights and needed GOP support. Still, the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act were introduced by Democratic presidents, ushered through Congress by Democratic committee chairs and leaders, given more votes in the end by Democrats than the GOP, and then signed by a Democratic president.


To sum it up:

The Civil Rights Act of 1964: 

1. Proposed by JFK, 
2. and passed by the Democratic-led  House (152 Dem votes for, 138 Rep votes for),
3. and Democratic-led Senate (46 Dem votes for, 27 Rep votes for). 
4. LBJ signed it with MLK at his side. 

The Voting Rights Act of 1965:

1. Advanced by LBJ,
2. and passed by the Democratic-led House (221 Dem votes for, 112 Rep votes for),
3. and the Democratic-led Senate (49 Dem votes for, 30 Rep votes for), 
4. LBJ signed it.

But it completely ignores the demographics of Congress at the time, the split in the Democratic party over Civil Rights, and the leadership provided for by Democrats to get the legislation over the goalpost.

What a lightweight intellectual coward and fucking fraud you are.  

You decide to jump into this posting and when challenged you run away and hide under your desk. 

Hey loser, get in line with the other lying losers who you run with on this forum.

Let me just reiterate what I know for a fact. 

IF Donald Trump had ever supported a RACIST DEMOCRAT Senator like Robert Byrd and Robert Byrd was a Republican, we'd never be hearing the end of it.  

But when the RACIST DEMOCRAT party of the 21st Century is called out for their racism, you hide in the corner, under your desk and suddenly don't want to talk about it.

You truly are one pathetic PUKE Coward liberal.

And the guy refers to himself as "normal stock", too. And he makes a point of it by driving his RV into Walmart parking lots that he says he prefers over vacationing at beaches and in the mountains. How could you possibly doubt that?...

If that makes me a bad guy... well, gee I'm really gonna' go cry my eyes out about it.
