Michael Buble is pretty lame. And he can’t touch Tony Bennett when Tony was in his prime. But right now, he can sing better than Tony.

Try this one on for size svelte:
“The Republican Party included support of the ERA in its platform beginning in 1940, renewing the plank every four years until 1980.[8] The ERA was strongly opposed by the American Federation of Labor and other labor unions, who feared the amendment would invalidate protective labor legislation for women. ERA was also opposed by Eleanor Roosevelt and most New Dealers, who either contended that women needed government protection, that men did not or otherwise did not want the only labor protections abolished before they could be extended to men as well, as it would likely be a blow to unions and the movement for labor laws. The amendment was opposed by most northern Democrats, who aligned themselves with the anti-ERA labor unions but the ERA was supported by southern Democrats and almost all Republicans.”Frum, David (2000). How We Got Here: The ’70s. New York, New York: Basic Books. pp. 245–248. ISBN 0-465-04195-7
It will probably not satisfy you, but it is certainly more than the Dems. did for women. Interesting the strange bedfellows of the Dem. Party.

You failed to mention that all those democrats have now become republicans all those republicans from the past have left GOP so in some sense today’s GOP is polar opposite from the party of Lincoln and should really stop using that …
The people like Storm Thurmond were Democrats before they switched to GOP

I think a man once said “my children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”. I think that’s a great statement.
apparently some folks believe that if two persons competing for the same position (jobs/school/etc) are equal in every way in their qualifications but if one person is of colored skin, then the colored person should get preferential treatment. Could we agree on whether that is racism or not?
