I understand that the State located geographically immediately west of Virginia, and immediately south of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Ohio is to be renamed “The Great State of Byrd”.

“The voters of W VA must be dumber than stones.”

WVA jokes aside, they just don't want their sugar daddy to go away. He brings in tons of money to build highways to nowhere and other projects. When he's gone, the money will go too.

That would explain the lack of brains on the rodent side. He’s been eating them in the cloakroom.

“where he could, did and still does send billions of federal dollars”

That’s all I need to know.

Sen. Robert Byrd to capture longevity record, and flips the bird at the US.

"I know this is off the subject...but how long was (Democrat) Byrd in the Ku Klux Klan? (just wondering) "

I often wonder that too- when you see pictures of him in his 'Grand Kleagle' garb he has grey hair- he must have been in his 60's!!

So if he 'repudiated' his involvement, it must have been just before he was elected

And he was not JUST a member.. he was THE LEADER of the KKK

The Republican Party was founded as the Anti-Slavery Party to defeat the Pro-Slavery Democrat Party.

The Democrat Party--the Party of Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan--is still the party of sociopaths, hypocrites, sleaze, and corruption. It has not changed at all.

Oops! Correction! It is now also the Party of Decadence.
