    You should try to get more of your facts straight before spouting off. Sen. Dirksen, GOP from Illinois, was most responsible for the civil rights act and the voting act of the 60s. He is the one who overcame Democrat filibustering in the Senate to get LBJ's bill through. The substantial Clean Water and Clean Air Acts were passed under Nixon and a Republican controlled congress. Nixon also established the EPA and signed the Consumer Product Safety Act.
    Our increased defense spending under Reagan won and ended the cold war.
    Obama was against same sex marriage, before he was for it, after he discovered that many gay people had lots of money and might contribute heavily to his campaign.

    Quit revising history - Dien Bien Phu was in 1954 - the French left in 1956 with the Geneva Conference of 1954 setting up the division of Vietnam into North and South. The first Americans to die were two Military advisors who died on July 8,1959. The war escalated when Russia decided to get into a supporting roll for North Vietnam and gave support to the Domino Theory that was prevalent in American political thinking.

    I lived through all of it.

    So very true, an axiom that escapes most people. Another axiom as it relates to Democrats: a person who will do anything to gain power should not be given any power.

    Where are you getting your "facts"? The DNC or the fake news? Either way, you're wrong and have proven yourself to be hitorically clueless when it comes to Vietnam.

    Poverty? Food stamp use went up under Obama down under Trump.
    Wage freezes? Salaries and bonuses are rising under Trump
    Internment camps? Democrats did that to Japanese Americans
    Cost of living has been going up since the great depression ended

    Government is inherently dangerous and crooked. That is why the FF crafted the COTUS to restrain its potential for evil.

    Slowly but surely, the Democrats anti-American agenda is being exposed. Slowly but surely, a federal voter ID will come into being. Slowly but surely, the Democrat Party will change to attract more moderate voters or will lose constituencies and power nation wide.

    Consider that they've lost the American working family vote and are losing the black male vote, possibly followed by the black female vote. What do you think will become of them when that happens?

    Democrats would rather send 221 million dollars to the palestinians Then help Americans here in America.

    Where their loyalties lie should be obvious to anyone paying attention. It's not the American people.

    I doubt you're looking for an objective answer, I'm also not sure if you're interested in what's been done by the modern democrat party or parties that were historically liberal and/or progressive.

    If the question is the former... I don't have a good answer, I suppose you could attribute welfare reform to the Clinton administration, but that was of course done with a Republican congress.

    If it's about the latter, then a huge number of accolades would be awarded, particularly any civil rights. Women and minority suffrage both came on the back of progressive movements. Same for virtually every social safety net in existence.

    It looks like you believe democrats have 2 things to offer.

    Welfare and identity politics

    Democrats like Al Gore's father led the fight against civil rights. Trying to give them the credit for it is revisionist history.

    None of that is true. You HONESTLY think the democrats will NOT at least pick up seats in the house in November? Really? If they do what does that do to your ideas about the democrats?

    The Hillary landslide crowd is back and they're now preaching the blue wave.

    I actually think the exact opposite of what you think is going to happen is going to happen. Democrats will go down to a stunning defeat.

    As the polls show the blue wave less and less likely, the democrats will become more and more desperate, and become more and more violent. They will get uncivil and attack republicans on the street. They will riot and burn down neighborhoods.

    The Democrat party will drive people into the republicans arms with their hate.

    Sure. I see a repeat of 2010.

    The Democrat party has nothing but trump hatred fueling it and that won't be enough. The average American sees America doing well, And all democrats run on is reversing it.

    Keep telling your friends the blue wave is coming.

    Is that what you call a blue wave? 1 seat?

    :roflol: you seem confident

    If the republicans don't gain seats I will say I was wrong. Feel free to bookmark this and necro it after the election . I like learning from my mistakes.

    Well lets see, in your lifetime the civil right act was being squashed by democrats under LBJ whereas the Republican came together and assured it's passing and giving Johnson and ALL BLACKS the win!

    Sorry, I go no further in your post! If you can make a blunder like that at age 65, then it's opinion you are not up on other things within your post :(

    Thanks for playing!

    GI bill was definitely bipartisan.

    Civil Rights Act was passed in House by 61% of Democrats and 80% of Republicans
    In the Senate by 66% of Democrats and 82% Republicans
    Seems like the Dixiecrats many of whom were affiliated with the KKK were no votes

    Voting Rights Act was passed in House by 78% of Democrats
    82% of Republicans
    In the Senate 73% of Democrats
    94% of Republicans
    Again it was Democrat Dixiecrats voting no
    So I don't think we can give Democrats total credit for passing either so we will call both of these bipartisan too.
