Quickly, donate money so we can defend him, whether or not he runs again for office...
Could you imagine any Republican who'd had the most remote connection to the KKK ever getting a 'pass' from the Democrats? Ever? The liberal MSM, with its leftist agenda, permits this Orwellian duplicity go on without comment.
Pst. Your next.
Thaaaannk cue.
I live in WV, and I'm embarassed by Byrd. His unreasoning hatred for Bush colors his judgment, and he's to the point where he doesn't even care how voters perceive him because he's unassailable - he'll be reelected no matter what he does.
Nothing new - when he voted to give away the Panama Canal, the WV voters were polled and were heavily against it, he said publicly that he didn't care. Many many people said they wouldn't vote for him in the next election, but by that time, they'd forgotten it.
Byrd should have the courtesy to not seek re-election. He's in his mid-80s, for crying out loud. How long is too long? Besides, it's not like he won't have a monument or memorial named after him, considering that every landmark in WV has the name "Byrd" in it.
The swimmer helps the Grand Wizard...
Even today, Robert Byrd and David Duke share an identical position on the war in Iraq.

Robert Byrd's re-election is anything but certain. West Virginia, a once solid dem State, has voted Republican (Bush won by 11% in 04') in the last two presidential elections. Plus, the new Energy Law strongly supports the coal industry. Although Byrd has to be favored I believe he can be defeated just as Tom Daschle was.
Great.........just sent my note to Byrd expressing my regrets at not being a member-in-good-standing with the KKK and so not able to contribute to his cause. Suggested that his buddy Drunken Teddy may be able to help out.
Robert Byrd and Edward Kennedy were walking along the beach, hand-in-hand, when they find a genie bottle. Genie pops out, ya da ya da, tells them `I'm a one-wish genie, choose carefully.'
So they go back to Teddy's condo and prepare to have homosexual sex, when--three Ku Klux Klansmen burst through the doors! One in a bright scarlet robe, another in lemon-yellow, the last, bright green. They throw a rope over a celing beam and draw the noose over Ted's head. (Byrd says to one, "Hey, I really like your robes . . ." and they tell him "Quiet, you!')
Ted says, "Er, uh, Bobbie, I think now might be a, uh, er, be a good time to use that, uh, wish."
And Byrd replied, "Too late. I already wished we both could be hung like `Long Dong Silver'."
Not a word, of course, about Byrd's besheeted past with the KKK.
Oh! Wait! I'm sorry! I thought this was an endorsement of term limits.
Teddy, you puke, how can these words pass your gills?
Why not? His brother paid good money for another person to write them.
Why not? His brother paid good money for another person to write them.
And Teddy avoided living them his entire life.
Quick! Somebody find the quote from Robert Byrd, circa 1947(ish), where he says that he wouldn't fight to defend the US if he was asked to do it in a racially integrated Army!
