Consider the other historical fact that Senator Barry Goldwater - who Ronald Reagan quite famously endorsed for the Republican presidential nomination with his keynote address at the 1964 Republican National Convention - voted against the Civil Rights Act.
Today, white Southerners are the single largest and most loyal bloc of Republican voters, particularly at the presidential and congressional levels. But I am sure that none of these historical and political trends are related to the Civil Rights Act's passage in 1964.
Ronald Reagan did not keynote at the GOP convention in 1964. He did not speak. He did not even attend. Once again, lying to serve political purposes.
Also, if 1964 Goldwater makes one a racist:
Wait until Jfern sees this.
