The Senate majority leader told reporters Tuesday that the memorial belongs in a museum, not the statehouse.
Remember all those concrete or stone statues of Civil War soldiers in the small towns squares in the south? Well, it won’t be long now. All those monuments on the various CW battle fields............... Got the picture?
The GOP are such eunuchs they never say a word about Sheets Byrd:

Exactly. We should remove any Amrricans name. This is beyond stupid. But not out of the norm for this govt. Really pathetic.
I’m a Pennsylvania yankee and even I say let the statue stay. It’s not racist, it’s a part of southern history.
America’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence, will not survive the discovery that it was written, in part, to protect the peculiar institution.
It’s clear the GOPEs truly believe they can continue to hold power by turning against conservatives. It’s clear also that they don’t even consider the “base” to be conservative. I think the GOPEs are wrong and with each passing day, my hope (and expectation) grows that they will be proven wrong beyond doubt in 2016.
I think today is the day I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion I can never vote GOP again. I used to think I’d at least support some tea-party guys and whatnot, but the GOP has just become too much to stomach, with this insane parade of GOP-er’s lining up with the Leftist Nazis and spitting in my face.
So what is the argument? Jeff Davis WAS Secretary of War for the USA, and Kentucky was NEVER a part of the Confederacy.
Shut up, Mitch.
KR to Mitch : BUG OFF!
i can tell you this much... the GOP is deathly afraid of nominating another white christian man. the next couple of election cycles, they will be vying with the democRATS to be the first to nominate a women, a jew, an atheist, a homsexual, a latino, an albino, etc.
it’s no longer about the quality of the individual first, but which “first” they can become. the GOP has bought into the “equality of outcome” balderdash hook, line, and sinker.
the GOP is truly “democRAT Lite” now. i’m still registered as a republican, but i loathe the elites that run the party. maybe even more so than those in the democRAT party because the traitors in your ranks your ranks always do worse damage than the enemy across the field of battle.
i will never vote for another Bush. fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. fool me three times... nope, notgonnadooit.
Just wait til they find out we have a Jefferson Davis Parish in Louisiana............................ Like Lee county in FLA where they tried to remove the oil painting of Robt E. Lee at city hall. Amerika gone PC Nuts!
Republicans are so terrified it feels like they already lost the election in 2016, they stand up for nothing anymore. All they do is just do what the media tells them to do because they are afraid of being called racist..don’t they get it, it doesnt matter what they do they will ALWAYS be called racist
If so.. Then why is mitch just now bringing it up? Was the statue ok a week ago, a year ago, a decade ago?
Now there going after the memorials.
Up the proletariat, Comrade!
The radio guy in richmond, of course a pretend conservative l,iberal plant. Said Jeff Davis hyw in Virginia name has to be changed. This guys IQ is about 50. I never listen to the station. Its clear channel and we get the establishment guy of the month. Never someone we can relate to. The putsiders are buying the Virginia newspapers and turnng them into yankee spin. If it hasnt happened with y’all, try not to let that happen.
clintonh8r to Kentucky Republican primary voters: Thanks a lot.
