I regret that Robert Byrd was elected and remains a US Senator.

We're even.

I am inclined to think sheets is having a hard time finding diapers that fit.I am in perpetual amazement that people still vote him in year after year.He will probably have to be carried out on a stretcher!

Unfortunately Byrd will be reelected to his WV senate seat.
He will probably drop dead on the senate floor.
The GOP in WV is weak but starting to show some signs of life. Shelly Moore Caputo is a hopeful sign. However there probably isn't a GOP'er capable of winning a state-wide election.(If such a person exists he needs to run for Governor first!) My prediction is when Byrd goes to that great Klan rally in the sky, Manchin (the Demo Guv) will probably appoint himself to the seat. Manchin who governs as a moderate to conservative democrat will then move hard to the left in order to have any sort of influence in the senate.

Woulda coulda shoulda, sheet boy.

Yes he is way past his prime, but as long as the Pork keeps rolling in they will send him back, I keep waiting for Kennedy's Liver to crap out too , but so far it hasnt happened.

[cubreporter]

He voted for it before he regretted it. Ha,ha,heh.heh

[ottersnot]

Plenty of demagoging to go arouond on the patriot act, precious few facts as to why we would lose freedoms.

I don't mind that this is being revisited. However, it's just another mechanism for Dhimmicrats to undermine national security and to get some press time and spread some lies about Bush.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Sen. Robert Byrd, the dean of the Senate and its self-appointed resident constitutional expert,....

The more arrogant and pompous one is the more influence he has as a Democrat. Look at their leaders. All arrogant, pompous, self-important wretches.

[ottersnot]

I wonder what Byrd regrets most?:

-maybe it's removing the legal barriers (the Gorelick wall?) that prevented various members of the intel community and law enforcement from collaborating on terror investigations.

-maybe it's allowing law enforcement to request a judge to allow:
-roving wiretaps on terror suspects
-seizing business records of terror suspects

Or maybe it's making it illegal to harbor terror suspects?

Who friggin knows. This pompous windbag doesn't show any signs of what he knows or opposes in the Patriot Act.

It's probably as foreign to him as pre-war intelligence on Iraq that Democrats reportedly felt no need to examine.

For once I'd just like some details on why these traitors are opposing something...besides their obvious efforts to take down Bush no matter the cost.

[CygnusXI]

Yeah he regrets his vote... he also probably goes home and stares at his lilly white bedsheets and reminisces...
/evil grin.

[cubreporter]

Agree. However, a lot more people know they are lies than ever before. It's OK...

[conservative blonde]

How very true. I hope the voters of WVA wake up and dump this old man for a real American.

[SusaninOhio]

Flip-flopping seems to be becoming the democrat national trend.

Maybe a 'Dem Flip-Floppin' flag could be designed just for them?

As a special award, perhaps, presented to the best Dem flip-flopper of the week?

Byrd today - next week, the possibilities are endless!

[cjmae]

I regret Byrd ran for senate.

I regret that "Sheets" Byrd is in the United States Senate!!
