All this appealed to white Southern Democrats, and Goldwater was the first Republican to win the electoral votes of the Deep South states (Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina) since Reconstruction. However, Goldwater's vote on the Civil Rights Act proved devastating to Goldwater’s campaign everywhere outside the South (Other than the South, Goldwater won only in Arizona, his home state), contributing to his landslide defeat in 1964. A Lyndon B. Johnson ad called “Confessions of a Republican,” which ran in the North, associated Goldwater with the Ku Klux Klan. At the same time, Johnson’s campaign in the Deep South publicized Goldwater’s full history on civil rights. In the end, Johnson swept the election.

So what is your problem? You want the option to drive your silly white ass into a Mexican community to nurse some Mexican because they can't afford to send their own to school?

I don't agree with that statement but it sounds as thou she had more than one meaning in her statement.

How about this idea — if you don't have a high school diploma then you will be required to get fixed so that you don't produce ignorant children.

Would we still be insulting God?

Could the passage of the civil rights movement sponsored by Kennedy and Johnson might have anything to do with it?

Bullshit Sniper!! The Democrats sacrificed themselves in the South to pass this bill.

Don't turn this into a partisan issue because it isn't — it's a racial issue that knows no party lines.

First of all, is was the Democrat Presidend Kennedy that proposed the bill and it was congress that amended it to make it stronger. The Chairman of the Rules Commitee, Howard Smith, a segregationist from Virginia that tried to botttle it up indefinitley. After Kennedy's assasination, it was Democrat President Johnson who used his bullypulpit experience to push it threw the Senate.

To imply that it was Democrates in general that opposed the Civil Rights Act in 64 based on one segregationist actions when it was all Democrats that pushed the bill is vile.

It took a lot of political courage during those times to push that sort of legislation and even Smith was back in a corner by the people who voted for him. The vote was divided along cultural lines similar to the battle lines of the civil war.

A lot of you find me to be disturbed, vile, inappropriate and so forth.

This is why I act the way I do on this website — complete distortions like this one I find disgusting.

You take honorable actions from individuals that serve our country and posion them with it just because you don't like the party and the Americans they represent.

It is you that is vile and un American!

I see both sides of the argument, but I believe federal dollars already do pay in some cases, as do state dollars so it's not really a change in policy to allow payments….although I don't necessarily agree, it is what it is.

Further eroding a once fine healthcare system. When the doctors flee and the only people taking care of you are angry minorities, fueled in their hatred and resentment by our government, what do you think the quality of our care will be?
