RixPix doesn’t lie but a lot of right wingers don’t know the truth about much of anything so they call truth lies.

The truth: HOW THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS BECAME REPUBLICANS:

After Reconstruction ended in the late 1870s so-called redeemers controlled all the Southern states and disenfranchised blacks (who were Republicans). The "Solid South" gave nearly all its electoral votes to Democrats in presidential elections. Republicans seldom were elected to office outside some Appalachian mountain districts and a few heavily German-American counties of Texas.

The monopoly that the Democratic Party held over most of the South first showed major signs of breaking apart in 1948, when many white Southern Democrats, upset by the policies of desegregation enacted during the administration of Democratic President Harry Truman, created the States Rights Democratic Party, which nominated South Carolina Governor Strom Thurmond for president. The "Dixiecrats" won most of the deep South (where Truman was not on the ballot). The new party collapsed after the election, while Thurmond became a Republican in the 1960s. Following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, which were signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, although a southern Democrat himself, led to heavy opposition from both Southern Democrats and Southern Republicans. Subsequent to the passage of civil rights legislation, many white southerners switched to the Republican Party at the national level. Many argue that Southern whites shifted to the Republican Party due to racial conservatism.[2][3][4] White Southerners continued to vote for Democrats at the state and local levels, especially before the Republican Revolution of 1994, but by 2000–2010, Republicans gained a solid advantage over Democrats at all levels of politics in most Southern states.

NOTE THE KEY PHRASE: Southern whites shifted to the Republican Party due to racial conservatism.“

RixPix is right. (This lesson was brought to you by the letter W.)

I wholeheartedly agree. When I see someone displaying a confederate flag, I see a loser, a traitor and a racist. It is certainly nothing to be proud of, and stupid to display this idiotic and insensitive set of values.

Same old boring response.

You don’t seem to understand what John is telling you over and over. Your narrow mind is locked up trying to win an argument you have all ready lost.

You must really be limited in thought processes since you just write variations of the same things over and over. Boring.

No matter how many times you say it, these right wing lemmings won’t get it. It has to come from a right wing radio hack, like Limbo, Slick Hannity, Loser Ingraham or some other talking robot.

Well read away Bucko. Just remember not everyone you talk to is an idiot and is not capable of understanding what you are posting. Let's remember this is the first time you have noticed I have said numerous times the Left was as biased as you claim the Right was. How the hell did you miss that important announcement? While you are not answering maybe you and John Frim can do some reading comprehension practice. Start with something easy like the old Dick and Jane novels. See if you can find Spot.

I explained to you why progressives are biased against right wingers. You did not reciprocate. I assume you are either unable to explain the right wingers positions, incapable of it, don’t know what they are, have no reason but have been told to oppose anything progressive, it makes no sense or......whatever. Instead you came back with insults and denigrating comments.

When a person comes back with personal attacks and innuendo instead of addressing the issue, it usually means they are defeated
and unwilling to admit it. I think your response fits that description.

Well Dennis, I didn't think I needed to acknowledge the acrimony on both sides of the aisle these days. It seems so obvious. However if you need it verbalized, the democrats are just as biased, if not more so than the Republicans, but I believe they have good reason to be.

I'll tell you why. It started with the Clinton impeachment. The Republicans. detested both Bill and Hillary Clinton. After the Whitewater bust, they trumped up something that was none of their business, a sexual encounter with Moniica Lewinski. I have no idea why they made a family affair into a national spectacle including impeachment. But unlike trump, Bill openly testified before congresss. Thats what got him in trouble. Trump would never testify under oath and he made sure no one familiar with his wrong doing would testify either. Trump could never testify under oath because he can't stop himself from lying.

Probably the next thing that causes democrats to cause distain for Republicans, besides the 8 or 9 fruitless Benghazi investigations, was caused by Mitch McConnell when he refused to give judge Garland a hearing saying the next president should nominate the next Supreme Court Justice. This was an unprecedented, despicable act by an unscrupulous ass. Now the is going around trying to get conservative judges (there shouldn't be conservative and liberal judges) at retirement age to retire so they can get younger ones appointed.

Probably the next thing that bothers democrats is the election. First there was the Comey innuendo that there was some classified information one of Hillary's aides former husband's computer and it was Hillary's fault. This happened 11 days before the election.

Now I know you hate to here this but Hillary did get just under 3 million more votes than Trump. I know this is not the fault of Republicans because it's in the constitution, but it still sticks in the craw of democracts.

Finally comes the Impeachment. Democrats knew from the beginning that they would not get 67 votes in the Senate, but they would get republicans on record for voting for acquittal. But, before that remember that the constitution tasks the House with investigating wrongdoing on the part of the president as part of the checks and balances and to prepare the Articles of Impeachment to be presented to the Senate

Now the last part. The House conducted the investigation. I know of no investigation where the defendant had people testify under oath about the case during the investigation. Therefore the whineing by Republicans that they did get people to testify during the investigation phase rings hallow since they really didn't want their people questioned at all. Then Mitch McConnell ramroded rules through the Senate which insured no witness would be supeoned and no documents would be presented in evidence and trump would be acquitted.

That is why democrats hold Republicans in such low esteem. Over the years they have played very dirty politicos.

This ends my participation in this discussion. I have pretty much refrained from name calling etc. except for calling Mitch McConnell an ass. I expect the same from others. I will not answer any posts about this. I may, however, read them.

This goes to show you are the master of dumb analysis. The words truth and fact are just words to you.......devoid of meaning.

Likewise, nothing trump did caused the stock market to rise. If he is going to take credit for the increase he has to take credit for the decrease. If he admits he has no control over the stock market or the economy then he is off the hook. He only wants to take credit for good things, not the bad things that happen. This is consistent with his extreme narcissist personality disorder.

You said: "......... the House managers presented their case AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE to the Senate. Evidence such as documents, testimony from the House hearings and depositions, and supporting opinions from various stakeholders and experts. In short, the House managers were allowed to present all of the evidence they arrived at their charges with.[/quote]"

Lies. Here are the rules.

The Senate voted to block attempts by Democrats to subpoena documents and witnesses for the impeachment trial that the White House has refused to provide to the House investigators. The votes were cast along party lines.

No witness and no documents!!!!!

Trump took credit for the stock market increase, then he must be responsible for the rapid decline. Trump is killing everyone's 401K.

There is no, "in other words".

I hope you know more about civics, our constitution and our founders intent than that.

Evil righty lies right from the top.

Fact-checker counts 16K false, misleading claims by Trump in three years.

Are you keeping? I know you are trying real hard.

?????????

My god. If you arrest a liquor store robber, do you let them call in an alibi witness to testify under oath with a lawyer during the investigation or do you question him separately?

I hope you are right and that IF trump is re-elected (God forbid) that the democrats hold the house and get a big majority in the Senate. Then they can make the Impeachment rules.

I don't suppose you noticed the unmitigated hatred the Republicans had for Clinton and Obama. You probably don't remember Mitch McConnell saying it was his intent to make Obama a one term president. You probably don't remember that Clintons impeachment was about a private affair and that it wasn't about bribery, high crimes an misdemeanors. The only one that should have been concerned should have been Hillary.
