1964 Civil Rights Act

I need to speak out regarding the 'Ox gored - Cow poked' comment on the Chatlist from Brian Terkowski on October 16. Recall the discussion:

-----------
Kish said: 
"Democrats who voted AGAINST the Civil Rights Act of 1964..."

----------
Tarkowski said:
"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed by majority votes of both parties. The “Nay” votes came from a majority of Democratic (93%-95%) and all Republicans (100%) of Southern legislators. Southern being defined as the 11 states of the Confederacy.
When you mis-state something as basic as this, it calls into question all of your other assertions.
While I was online I Googled “useful idiot”. Have you?"

==========
So, lets look at the  numbers and draw our own conclusions.

First, the actual votes in the House pf Representatives were:
For passage - 153 democrats (62% of democrats), 136 republicans (80% of republicans)
Against passage - 91 democrats (38% of democrats), 35 republicans (20% of republicans)

From North Carolina -
     For passage: none.
     Against passage: Bonner [D], Fountain [D], Henderson [D], Cooley [D], Scott [D], Kornegay [D], Lennon [D], Whitener [D], Taylor [D], Broyhill [R], Jonas [R]; 9 democrats, 2 republicans against the Civil Rights Act.

Second, the actual votes in the Senate were:
For passage - 46 democrats (69% of democrats), 27 republicans (82% of republicans)
Against passage - 21 democrats (31% of democrats), 6 republicans (18% of republicans)

From North Carolina -
     For passage: none
     Against passage: Ervin [D], Jordan [D]; both democrats voted against the Civil Rights Act.

Kish and Tarkowski appear to agree on the facts about the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Tarkowski seems to want us to disregard everything Kish said by attacking one of Kish's statements.

Perhaps Tarkowski's useful idiots are those who blindly follow the leadership of either Party without checking the facts.
