I sometimes get the feeling that Bryd is actually among the most patriotic of the Dems in office. Agree with him or not, it seems as though he actually bases most of his decisions on what he feels is best for AMERICA, rather then making decisions based on this overriding guilt that most Dems seem to have because the US is the sole superpower.
He's old enough to remember the days when a Democrat could still be an American.
Robert Byrd is far from being a patriot. He is just a senile old fa*t who has been in office far too long.
