[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "To state that the GOP was responsible for the Civil Rights Act is ... well, laughable." Well, considering it wouldn't have GOTTEN to Kennedy without GOP support... "When the Civil Rights Act was up in the House, Howard W. Smith (a Republican from Virginia), added "sex" to the list of "race, color, religion or national origin", assuming the bill would be voted down (because, c'mon, who wants to give women the right to vote anyway?) Right there you have evidence of GOB scheming to defeat the bill..." What evidence do you have that he didn't simply want women protected, too? Some memoirs? "later, with Bush as president, Reagan's physician would tell news agencies that Reagan had been incapable of preforming the duties of his job, and powers should have been transfered - temporarily - to VP Bush" Uh... they were. "George Bush condemned Reagan's economic plan as "Voodoo Economics"" I should care what Bush said... why? Look up the numbers. The tax cut worked. "Reagan's bill passed in '81. Shortly thereafter, the economy was soon in the midst of the full-blown recession." Numbers, please? 'Cause that's the exact opposite of everything I've seen. Reagan lowered taxes. Unemployment was ELIMINATED. Inflation stayed at five percent. Revenues doubled. More people jumped straight from lower to upper class than stayed in the lower class. Get the facts straight before you start blithering. Rob: "oh, and as for supply side economics... perhaps the best thing about JFK is that HE believed in it, and used it, as well. D'oh!" Oh, yes, I forgot about that. I stand corrected. He DID do something useful. JK2: "Guess who is a few trillions in debt? Not sure here, but I'd guess Russia owes us quite a bit of money, so they're pretty well as in debt as we are. Second, the Democrats controlled congress during the eighties. Every budget Reagan sent in was pronounced DOA. You can thank your Dem friends and their pork-barrel spending for the debt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
