"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right. When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'""When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right."
"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."
Senator Harry Reid (D-Nevada)
Yes, Harry - when these history-altering moments (Slavery, Women's rights, Blacks' Civil Rights) happened, a large group of people fought these changes tooth and nail.
They were and still are called DEMOCRATS.
Had Republicans joined the Democrats at these points in history, Rosa Parks would still be sitting on the back seat of the bus, still unable to vote, and still would have been the property of her Master.
And he probably would have been a Democrat.
Y'all are still just as wrong today.
