How many times do we have to repeat this: The representatives of the group of people who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were Democrats back then, part of the Solid South. Today, those people are Republicans--the people who today oppose the Voting Rights Act and try as hard as they can to deny as many blacks the right to vote. Talking about the parties that exist today as if they are the same parties that existed in the 1860s-70s or the same parties that existed in the 1960s-70s is absurd But it is what Republicans love to do--they throw stupid stuff like that into every argument and pretend that they are making sense. If you are serious when you ask that question, you are being fooled. If you are not serious, then you are being a Republican.

>> "The south still resents them for the 1964 civil rights act "

To give Wharf a break which party filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964?
