50th Anniversary of MLK Sppech on the Mall

Today marks the 59th anniversary of MLK's "I have a Dream Speech" and the liberals in the media are using it to beat up on Republicans over Voter ID laws, the SCOTUS decision on the Voting Rights Acts and anything else they can blame on how the evil WHITE Republicans are "holding the black man down."

A reminder to Rev. Al, Rev. Jesse and the rest of the racial grievance industry.  If one looks back in history, with the facts, here is who DID and DIDN"T vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964

From Wikipedia:
The original House version:[16]
  • Democratic Party: 152–96   (61–39%)
  • Republican Party: 138–34   (80–20%)
Cloture in the Senate:[17]
  • Democratic Party: 44–23   (66–34%)
  • Republican Party: 27–6   (82–18%)
The Senate version:[16]
  • Democratic Party: 46–21   (69–31%)
  • Republican Party: 27–6   (82–18%)
The Senate version, voted on by the House:[16]
  • Democratic Party: 153–91   (63–37%)
  • Republican Party: 136–35   (80–20%)
Notice a greater percentage of Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than Democrats. Some of the DEMOCRATS who voted AGAINST the Bill

Senator Robert Byrd, D-WV
Senator Al Gore Sr., D-TN
