Your post is interesting and true. Kerry won in a landslide amoung the tolerant types. Bush won in a landslide amoung the intolerant types - those who use their religion to hate others and deny them civil rights. Yesterday, gay marriage asGeorge,
banned in 10 (maybe 11) states. These from the same folks who have a 50% divorce rate and are concerned about preserving the "sanctity" of marriage. The same folks who opposed the Civil Rights Act, the Equal Rights Amendment and other equalities.
You're misinformed. The CRA passed _because_ of Republicans and in spite of the Democrats.. According to the _Congressional Quarterly_, 82% of Senate Republicans voted for it, while only 69% of Democrats did. In the House, 80% of Republicans voted for it and only 61% of Democrats did. Those intolerant Democrats! :-)
Al Gore Sr., the father of that great Democrat candidate for president, opposed the CRA. Charlton Heston, a very conservative Republican, marched with blacks in Selma to support the Civil Rights Movement.
