The closest it comes is to the point about northerners vs southerners, its a partial reply to that noting that "southern" in that tally only applies to members of congress from the formerly confederate states. But that's not a very thorough reply even on that point. Still its at least a beginning. It raises a relevant point. It doesn't even try to address - "The big transition for them to vote for the Democratic party really started with FDR. That despite the fact that he put in place laws and rules to favor white workers over black workers, and presided over a segregated military, a segregation that was created by a previous president from his own party (Wilson) just a couple of decades earlier."Message 30811534 or "You still haven't defined liberal or liberals (or conservative/conservatives for that matter). From your past on this issue it seems you largely define them based on their votes on this issue, which makes your claims useless tautologies (and which also uses definitions other than those that most people would use)." "Quite a few of them <Democratic members of congress who voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964> were from big government welfare state supporters. Is supporting big government, an expanding welfare state, etc conservative ?" "Were/are Republican supporters of limited constitutional government and fiscal conservatism liberals ? (In the sense you use the term, in an older sense they probably were, but that's not what we are talking about here.) "Message 30811586 It doesn't begin to show anything I posted as a misrepresentation, or to make your personal attacks seem anything but false, irrelevant, and rude.
