Fact is without Kennedy (democrat), and without other (democrat) leaders in congress, the Civil Rights Bill would never have been created or passed.

Wow, who rewrote history here?

Although St. Landry Parish had a registered Republican majority of 1,071, after the murders, no Republicans voted in the fall elections. White Democrats cast the full vote of the parish for Grant's opponent. The KKK killed and wounded more than 200 black Republicans, hunting and chasing them through the woods. Thirteen captives were taken from jail and shot; a half-buried pile of 25 bodies was found in the woods.



The KKK made people vote Democratic and gave them certificates of the fact.

Southern democrats were conservative. Present day southern conservatives are republicans. No getting around that. Parties change, ideologies not so much.

MAJOR problem here, Mitty doesn't represent white America either.

he represents 1/10th of the top 1percent, and everyone knows it.

He is a pos billionaire who cares nothing for America.

The DIVISIVENESS you people like Rove/PACs/ Ted Cruz shills are counting is NOT working, take some polls in the southeast, peasants with pitchforks HATE the GOP too.

Lee Atwater is dead.

sigh... we still have the special people believing that southern descendants of slave owners who opposed black integration every step of the way somehow turned into Nancy Pelosi-style liberals, huh?
