Reply #64: I figured you Moderates hated the Civil and Voting Rights Act... [View All]

I mean, given that "electability" argument we here so much about, the Civil Rights act is the reason Repukes have the South to count on for elections to this day. Its also the reason for the Great Society and other programs being eviscerated, if you get technical about it.

Look, given the attitude of Moderates today, I would imagine that if an act came up similar to the Civil Rights Act, and we had the votes to pass it, you would vote no because it would cost us the majority, for a generation or two at least. Isn't that a shining example of principle over politics?
