May 29, 200422 yr http://www.cmi.k12.il.us/~capiech/thoreau/jr2.htm A children's book, which shows a lesson in American political history. In 1960, Robinson campaigned for Democrat Hubert Humphrey in the presidential primary, but chose Republican Richard Nixon over John F. Kennedy in the general election. Black voting for a Republican during this time period was unusual, but when Robinson met both Nixon and Kennedy, he stated that Nixon was charming and seemed interested in the civil rights of African Americans. On the other hand, when Robinson met Kennedy, the Democrat failed to make eye contact with Jackie, showing him the prejudice that still existed.
May 29, 200422 yr Cape... we now know that you are pro-republican on everything... You'll find anything against a Democrat... but fail to comprehend that both parties are full of hypocrites, racists, and ignorant fools...
May 29, 200422 yr Author Cape... we now know that you are pro-republican on everything... You'll find anything against a Democrat... but fail to comprehend that both parties are full of hypocrites, racists, and ignorant fools... I know that, but Democrats are just so much more full of hypocrites, racists, and ignorant fools. Up until a couple of years ago, Robert Byrd was the leader of the Democrats in the Senate.

I know that, but Democrats are just so much more full of hypocrites, racists, and ignorant fools. Up until a couple of years ago, Robert Byrd was the leader of the Democrats in the Senate. So the fact that The Democrat's have a huge majority of Minority Voters fully shows just how racist they are? This is absolute stupidity at it's best, you try to prove a point and when't found to be invalid you walk away, I'm still waiting for my responce on the fact that you contradicted yourself by saying we went to war because Iraq did not follow UN Sanctions but then blasted it a week earlier. Go back to The Conservative Bat Cave because it's just getting ridiculous with all these articles you bring up. It show's how much maturity you have towards politics too... When have you ever seen A "ooh Hitler was A Republican because Facism leans more to the right and Hitler was a facist" or "Oh my god, Pat Buchanan doesn't like Illegal Immigrants or Immigration standards therefore he and his party are racists" Grow up
May 30, 200422 yr Back on topic a bit...... Not surprising that Robinson got a bad impression when meeting JFK. I've read in several different books of JFK how he could come across as aloof and disinterested in person. But Jackie was right. JFK was probably the most overrated president of the last 70 years.

Over a million times on almost every messageboard on the Net, including here. I think Cape was responding to the general assessment that Republican = hating black people.
