I'm sick of Democrats calling other Democrats racist for a 1% poll bump.

38. What part of he tried to destroy voluntary busing are you having trouble grasping?

Have you read his amendment? Even HE said that it would cut the funding for and put other restrictions on voluntary busing programs but wouldn’t touch court-ordered busing.

He also did other things to make clear he opposed busing and never at the time made any distinction between court-ordered busing and voluntary busing. For example, he consistently criticized all busing, calling it a “bankrupt concept,” among other things. Only recently did he start saying that it was only court-ordered busing he objected to, a claim completely contradicted by his own actions and words at the time.

I don’t expect you to accept this or to stop repeating the falsehood that he opposed only court-ordered busing (which was also debunked by Politifact, which found it to be mostly false). His actual position has been explained repeatedly and in considerable detail here and elsewhere and sources and quotes and links to legislation and his statements at the time have been posted over and over. But these facts have been ignored by people who keep making the same false claim.

But the facts are the facts, whether people acknowledge them or not.
