The South voted nay save for nine brave souls (all Democrats, of course). In the non-South states, very, very few Democrats voted nay. Most of those came from &quot;border states&quot; like Missouri, Oklahoma, and Maryland.<br />All other nay votes in the North were Republicans.<br />Percentages without context are meaningless here, and you are twisting them to suit your own agenda without facts to back anything up. I&#39;m very disappointed.varangianguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12571595354792261993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-67690909501732036092012-12-18T15:18:27.499-05:002012-12-18T15:18:27.499-05:00Why do we have black Americans and white Americans.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Civil Rights Act was supported by over 80% of Republicans but only about 60% of Democrats...in both houses of Congress. Republicans joined together in the Senate to stop the Democrats filibuster.Paul K.
