Angelouss, Hunter, Bardan,
I said that very thing on page one. Sen. Lott has to stay and fight or Every Rep will be a bigger target. I'm Glad to see there is somebody else that sees another possibilty in what was said other then IT must be racism, and ONLY racism.
Are the Reps. a party that runs like scared school girls (and that's an insult to Scared school girls everywhere) when called racist? Given the real history of the Rep. party NO! Now is the time to set the record staight. The Reps. passed the FIRST Civl rights laws over the Veto of a Dem. President Andrew Johnson Abe's replacement, in 1866 or 67, the Reps passed the first voting rights bills around the same time. They also passed more civil rights bills in the 1880's or 90's (my memory ain't what it used to be) the Split with the Reps and the NAACP came in the early part of the 20th century, during Teddy Rose. Presidency over an incident in Galvaston, Tx. where Black soliders were fired on by the locals. When the Pres. sent people to investigate the soliders clammed up, for what ever reason, and it made them look guilty. Teddy fired the lot of them because they wouldn't talk the NAACP thought he was wrong. Years later it was proved Teddy was wrong, President Nixon I believe then set the record straight and Exonerated (SP?) the soliders. THAT'S the same R.M. Nixon that met with MLK in 1958 while he was VP 2-3 years before JFK and RFK had the FBI secretly tape MLK to get dirt on MLK. 1954 or 55 Rep. President Eisenhower(sp?) sent the Nat. Guard to Little Rock ,Ak to protect some little school girls and make sure they were able to go to school. Those little school girls had heavly pigmented skin, if you are the kind of person that pays attention to race you could lable them African-Americans, or you could call them some other names like the one's the Ak. Senator DID, that was Bill Cliton's Mentor. The same Senator that Pres. Clinton gave this nations highest civilain medal too. 1957, Pres. E. pushed through tha next round of civil rights laws, Laws that were voted against by JFK when he was a Senator, and LBJ tried to weaken. The Civil Rights laws of the Mid 60's, 80%+ of the Republicans in both houses of Congress voted for them, while only 60%+ of the Democrats voted for the Civil Rights laws. If anybody would bother to do the math they would see that 60%+ of the Dem. WERE NOT enough votes to get the laws passed. Does anybody remember the big Bru-haha a couple of years ago in Ca. about afirmative action? You know the #1 issue that makes you racist if you are against it! Well Does any one want to take a guess as to who started it? Come on take a guess, yeah thats Right that most kind and wonderful President ...JFK... NO!!!!...how about...LBJ...NO!!! OH NO it couldn't be yes it Was President Richard Milhouse Nixon the same man that met with Martin Luther King Jr. in 1958 the first high ranking U.S.A. elected offical to do so!!!! The Democrat controled Congress & Senate didn't pass ANY affrimative Action laws until Later, after a Rep President had taken action. Nixon was also the first to propose the earned income credit for poor needy families with children in his first term, It was held up by the Democrats in Congress.
FDR, a Dem., did not do anything to enforce the civil rights laws during the 30's & 40's in the South. He Allowed the segregationst South to blatently violate the 14th admendment, Oh yeah, something else that WAS PASSED by the Republicans. Does anybody remember in the early 70's when Busing was forced in that most wonderful of liberal Democrat cities, Boston? I do, I remember watching TV and seeing all the people of lightly pigmented skin hold up signs and sing bye-bye Black bird when the buses unloaded CHILDERN that had heavly pigmented skin.
Anybody want to guess which political party is trying to pass one of the top issues of parents that have heavly pigmented skin? Hint: It's School Choice you know School Vouchers.
Why It's those evil Raskely Republicans.
This is one Southern Conservative Republican that Ain't going to sit back and take it.
Edit: In may have been the U.S. Marshals that Eisenhower sent to Litttle Rock instead of the National Guard. When you get to be my age sometimes you need to defrag the "Ole Grey Matter Hard Drive", but I got so much stuff stored on it I'm afraid the OS might crash
