George,
You're misinformed. The CRA passed because of Republicans and in
spite of the Democrats.. According to the Congressional Quarterly, 82%
of Senate Republicans voted for it, while only 69% of Democrats did. In
the House, 80% of Republicans voted for it and only 61% of Democrats did.
Al Gore Sr., the father of that great Democrat candidate for
president, opposed the CRA. Charlton Heston, a very conservative
Republican, marched with blacks in Selma to support the Civil Rights
Movement. Those intolerant Democrats! :-)
