It was almost entirely a group of Southern segregationist Democrats who opposed and filibustered the 1964 Civil Rights Act--primarily on states' rights grounds. Kennedy and the northern Democrats were in support of it.

Sen. Byrd may be the only living Senator who was a member but there have been others in the past.

You are probably are correct. There have been many more Democrats serving in the House and Senate that have been members of the KKK.

I only say that there were others--I make no claims about relative party affiliation.

The Democrats and the Republicans have swapped sides on a number of issues in the past 40 years. They really aren't the same parties they were before.

In my humble opinion, both parties are going to hell in a handbasket if they don't make some changes soon.

I agree. that's why I wanted to vote for Nader, unfortunatly he wasn't on the ballot in California.

Couldn't do a write in vote? Although I was kinda hoping Mickey Mouse would get more write-in's than Nader, simply for the crushing blow to a person's ego.

In theory we could do write in votes but in practice the way our ballot is set up there's on way to write anyone in! I blame Arnold for that..grrr.. As for Mickey Mouse, as much as I love his forign policy I just can't stand behind his lack of morals. I mean sure he claims to be a catholic but everyone knows Minie got an abortion and his best friend is named "Gooffy!"

Feh, Nader once stood for something. He did some really good things. Now, all I can see is Nader being about shameless self-promotion.

[tank182.livejournal.com]

I've heard that before but I don't see it. I still feel he has much to say.

[sjo.livejournal.com]

I wish I agreed.
