I've followed what this fine lady has done for a while now. She is one spunky lady and it is a shame how may Republicans turn her back on her approach. She has more backbone than most of the House and Senate R's combined.

When hearing that the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Jim Greer, had expressed disappointment in her magazine, The Black Republican, which Greer had secured party money to publish, Rice dismissed it with a wave of her hand. The magazine featured a picture of Ku Klux Klan members burning a cross, with the caption "Every person in this photograph was a Democrat."

Typical wishy-washy-, weak-kneed, limp-wristed, yellow-belly, milquetoast Republican. Probably a Log Cabin Republican.

"Mrs. Rice has some very strong views on certain issues," Greer said. "It showed us that before we donate to anything, regardless of how it appears, the party needs to ensure it takes a look at all the content."

Modern Republicanism in a nutshell. You got strong views? Aaaack! Run away! Run Away!

Yes, she deserves our support. She is being criticized for telling the truth.

funny thing- the rats do the SAME exact thing this brave lady does, but from the other side of the spectrum, and it is fair game...

I don’t agree with everything she says, and I don’t agree with her methods. “Every person in this photograph was a Democrat”? How could she know that? And why speculate knowing all it’s going to do is inflame both sides. She’s old enough to know better. You don’t win people to your side by beating them over the head with baseless rhetoric.

She is so politically active that tax lawyers question why the NBRA has nonprofit status.

Yeah! She should be more non-political like Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUTSCH Coaliton.

Why is the GOP so afraid to offend the ‘Rats?

Remarkable woman, a Republican with guts.

"We would tell her, 'You can't go around bashing the Democratic Party and then expect them to come to our side in droves,' " Scoggins said. "She would take the approach, 'Well, you're not a real Republican, then.'"

I just joined. I hope everyone else does too. She needs and deserves our support. This is the kind of lady we need in office, rather than the pansies we have now.

Just because the truth hurts, that does not mean that it should not be spoken. The women knows and remembers all to well that it was the Democrat party that represented slavery and regretted it’s demise with legislation and laws that held made African Americans second class citizens in their own country.

The rest of your county would do well to remember what the mainstream media and Democrat party would like everyone to forget. They can rewrite history, but they can’t change the facts.

Civil Rights Legislation passed in 1964.

Votes by party

The original House version:

Democratic Party: 152-96 (61%-39%)
Republican Party: 138-34 (80%-20%)

The Senate version:

Democratic Party: 46-21 (69%-31%)
Republican Party: 27-6 (82%-18%)

The Senate version, voted on by the House:

Democratic Party: 153-91 (63%-37%)
Republican Party: 136-35 (80%-20%)

Votes by Region:

Southern Democrats: 7-87 (7%-93%)
Southern Republicans: 0-10 (0%-100%)

Northern Democrats: 145-9 (94%-6%)
Northern Republicans: 138-24 (85%-15%)

The Senate version:

Southern Democrats: 1-20 (5%-95%) (only Senator Ralph Yarborough of Texas voted in favor)

Southern Republicans: 0-1 (0%-100%) (this was Senator John Tower of Texas)

Northern Democrats: 45-1 (98%-2%) (only Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia opposed the measure)

Northern Republicans: 27-5 (84%-16%) (Senators Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa, Barry Goldwater of Arizona, Edwin L. Mechem of New Mexico, Milward L. Simpson of Wyoming, and Norris H. Cotton of New Hampshire opposed the measure)

Republicans gave more support to that legislation, than Democrats did and all the Southern Republicans voted in favor of the legislation.

But they have also sparked a backlash among many Republicans.

Typical Republicans. Blacks should start working with the Constitution Party.

The one thing the Dems hate, really hate, more than anything else is a Black person who leaves the liberal plantation and starts thinking for his or her self. It just drives the libs crazy.

Not cool. Regardless of her political orientation, she needs to follow the law. Period.

Typical of some of her interactions with the media, when Hillsborough Community College Prof. Keith Berry hosted Rice on his weekly political radio show, he eventually had to hang up on her because he could not get a question in once Rice started talking about the history of the two parties.
"You would have flunked my history class," Berry told Rice.

I wonder why she would have flunked his class? Is what she was saying flat out wrong, or did he just have a different opinion on it? If it's the former, he should have taken the time after her call to give some evidence of that, and the article likely would have mentioned that. If it's the latter, then a class taught by him wouldn't be worth taking, anyway.
