Actually my original statement was about the voting tendencies in the South as a whole, not specifically the Congressmen. You turned it into let's name the dixiecrats contest because of me simply asking for a citation about your statement, which I've not once said was wrong btw.

What a great way to rationalize incompetence- racism. According to you, without the issue of "racism", the nation would be thrilled with

9.1% unemployment
$1.6 trillion dollar deficits
$14.6 trillion in debt
manufacturing leaving the US in droves
diving US dollar
faltering stock market
massive buisness regulations
limitations on oil,gas, and coal exploration
no immigration policy


Get real. People don't like Obama because he is ineffective and incompetent. No one cares what color he is.

The accusation of "racism" has been so over used that it has almost become trite and comical. In the past, racism usually meant that one dealt with another differently based upon their race. Now "racist" means simply anyone who does not agree with far left liberal policy.

Come up with a new accusation that is more compatible with the inane retort of "racist". How about "dummy poop head" or something equally as "clever"?

But the person I was responding to, was saying how my statement that those that voted against the civil rights act was wrong.

So, you are responding and making a mute point, that you were not even involved in, or, you are using 2 screen names which is a direct violation of the TOS

You asking me for a citation was based on me saying that the majority of the democrats that voted against the civil rights remained democrats. Which is a true statement. As for a citation, you can cite me if you want, there is your citation.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that by starting his statement with: This is not the case as far as the democrats that I have known enough to know how they voted. Isn't saying you are flat out wrong, just not what he experienced. 2 screen names lol. Paranoid much?

Yeah that's not how citations work. Look back to your post (or maybe eric's post) about peer reviewed, etc. etc. etc. I'd just take any simple web page that shows the data.

But, since it was in response to my statement that those you VOTED against, and he/she said not the ones he/she knew.

You seem to have a hard time keeping up and reading.

Okay, so you want me to make a web page real quick with the data, so you don't have to research it?
