I was with a young woman and her liberal mother and when the girl told her I was conservative the MOTHER jumped to you mean "Racist".... Whoa... Quick draw. I would call her in my most polite tone a "dingy broad" except she is of course a prominent(somewhat...) author.
Al Gore, Sr., together with the rest of the southern Democrats, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Congressional Quarterly reported that, in the House of Representatives, 61% of Democrats (152 for, 96 against) voted for the Civil Rights Act as opposed to 80% of Republicans (138 for, 38 against). In the Senate, 69% of Democrats (46 for, 21 against) voted for the Act while 82% of Republicans did (27 for, 6 against). All southern Democrats voted against the Act. In his remarks upon signing the Civil Rights Act, President Lyndon Johnson praised Republicans for their "overwhelming majority." He did not offer similar praise to his own Democratic Party
I think a big push to get more minorities using the concept of "lets build a better America" would work well. I am tired of the government working against the citizens. Did anyone hear Cavutos rant today. He hit the nail on the head. Government gets 40% of bussiness profits and then gets to tax all its workers. I know Cavuto is not the first to use this but if conservative candidates are smart they will educate the public. The theives in washington destroying the companies that provide jobs won't work.
