You are still misrepresenting the facts. Where is your honor??

You know damn well the Republicans that voted for the 64 civil rights act were liberal Republicans and the Democrats that voted against it were conservative Dixiecrates.

There is a difference between liberal and conservative Republican and Democrat.

Maybe you don't know that.

What is it like to live without honor?

<<Despite the fact that 80 to 82% of Republicans (depending on which version of the act and which vote your counting) voted for the act while only 61 to 69% of the Democrats did.

You keep forgetting that most of those Democrats who voted against it were Dixiecrats. Who later became Republicans. And most of the Republicans who voted for the Act were run out of the Republican party over the next few decades.

Both parties are very different than they were a half a century ago.

The Republicans wanted the racists from the Democratic party. They are yours now.
