Goldwater was truly supportive of equal rights to the point where our Government was tracking him:

The late Arizona Sen. Barry Goldwater, creator of modern conservatism, was once thought to be too liberal by the FBI, in part because he was backed by ''a large percentage of Negroes'' during his Senate campaign.

Yet the person that the liberals get behind, Johnson revealed his true motivation for supporting the Civil Rights Act:

Johnson, like other presidents, would often reveal his true motivations in asides that the press never picked up. During one trip, Johnson was discussing his proposed civil rights bill with two governors. Explaining why it was so important to him, he said it was simple: "I'll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years."

"That was the reason he was pushing the bill," said MacMillan, who was present during the conversation. "Not because he wanted equality for everyone. It was strictly a political ploy for the Democratic party. He was phony from the word go.

I think he gave a Senate floor speech on the same subject. Can someone find it?
