Another truth the Democrats find inconvenient: It was Republicans that passed the civil right legislation. Johnson could not get support from the dems.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964′s vote
In the House of Representatives:
Democrats for: 152
Republicans for: 138
In the Senate:
Democrats for: 46
Republicans for: 27
It would be more accurate to say that Northern Democrats and Northern Republicans voted for Civil Rights and Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans voted against Civil Rights. Also, the Dems voted for it in greater percentages of total Representatives and Senators than did Repubs. Of course, facts are always a little inconvenient when they don’t support your preconceived notion of the truth.

The original House version:
Southern Democrats: 7–87 (7–93%)
Southern Republicans: 0–10 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 145–9 (94–6%)
Northern Republicans: 138–24 (85–15%)
The Senate version:
Southern Democrats: 1–20 (5–95%)
Southern Republicans: 0–1 (0–100%)
Northern Democrats: 45–1 (98–2%)
Northern Republicans: 27–5 (84–16%)
I suggest that you watch the movie Runaway Slave for accuracy on this. And can the attitude.
why teabaggers who doesn’t support President Obama let a little thing like facts get in the way of their truth?
