The Dems took a big U-Turn in the 60s when Lyndon Johnson pushed thru the Civil Rights Act... Johnson candidly said that it was going to change the Democratic Party forever and set it back decades... He was right... That took balls... I mean, folks voted for something that was totally foriegn to the way they were broguth up thinking... Ya' gotta give the Dems of the 60's alot of credit for the courage to pass a bill that meant that their party would suffer for decades to come... And when we look around, the Dems are still paying the price for that vote...
