Are we looking at the same numbers? Because the references I quoted you pretty much disagree with your statements. For the record, from the wikipedia article on the 1964 CRA:
Totals are in "Yea-Nay" format:
The original House version:[9]
* Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%)
* Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)The Senate version:[9]
* Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%)
* Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)The Senate version, voted on by the House:[9]
* Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%)
* Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)
Ok. Tell me how 80% of a party voting for the 1964 Civil Rights Act is, in fact, "opposing civil rights"?
As for the "lying Republicans like you" comment - frankly, I'm disgusted. I've cited facts and figures from a (famously) unbiased source, and yet, you still insist that I am the one who's making things up?
As for your ad hominem attacks... you apparently have zero knowledge of me, or my personal views or beliefs, other than that I'm an avowed Republican. And yet, based solely on that one choice - my political party - you have the unmitigated gall not only to judge and condemn me, but to do so based off of your inference of my beliefs? Isn't that the very definition of prejudice?
You, sir, are not just an ass. You have demonstrated yourself to be a bigot of the worst sort.
