West Virginia has done really well with Byrd's pork barrel money. He's got more stuff named after him there than Saddam did in Iraq.
Ping.
Too bad this Raese guy doesn't have a chance against the Grand Kleagle.
And to think all the Democrats who scream "racism" at every Republican make a hero of this Nazi bigot.
Frankly, it doesn't say much for West Virginia either that they vote for him.
THIS, Senator Dole, is one of the people you SHOULD of been supporting rather than Chafee.
That's a real sleazy thing for him to do. I thought the deceased were off limits in politics?
Hot diggity dog! Someone in WV with guts enough to face down Kleagle Byrd, who vies for the title with Sen. Ted Stevens as King of Pork.
Did the West Virginia Ku Klux Klan merge with the DEMOCRAT Party, or are they seperate organizations?
The notion that WV has done really well with Byrd's pork barrel money is a somewhat superficial notion. Very little of the money has gone into things that are self-stainable. In short "riches" have come into the state but it has created almost no real wealth. When the pork stops flowing into the state many of these Byrd funded projects will decay & die.
LOLOL! Very very good comeback.
That picture of Sheets Byrd needs to be spread as widely as possible!!!
hey, if Ronald Reagan can awaken from the dead to endorse James Webb in VA, why can't Father Raese do the same in WV?
The way I would handle this is to say that Byrd is remembering a former time in West Virginia, when everybody was a conservative Democrat. The fact is, today, more and more conservatives are realizing that there no longer is such a thing as a "conservative Democrat" in national politics, and that continuing to elect Democrats to the Congress serves the purposes of Ted Kennedy and Hillary Clinton, rather than the values of West Virginia.
You are correct; however, the people of WV have been duped by the 'Rats and media. Aside from Byrd, they have actually been convinced that Jay ROCKEFELLER cares about the poor and middle class.
Byrd is in his mid-80s. When the hell is WV voters going to wake up and look forward and support a candidate with fresh ideas instead of giving this racist bovine excrement who pretends to care about the Constitution another six-year term. Why don't they just rename the state after him, for crying out loud.
Byrd is senile. Not a slur, just fact.
