I'm sorry, but Byrd drives me nuts. Who keeps voting for this clown? This guy is making West Virginia look like crap.

He drives me nuts, too. He rants and raves--he likes to hear himself speak. As Brit Hume said the other night, he represents the actions of the senators of old--the way the Senate was run in the old days. (Something to that affect) Anyway, WV continues to reelect him because he gets mucho money from the fed gov't for the state.

Byrd, like Gore, have been in Washington so long that they do not even know thier states. In WVA & TN, both brought home the bacon, thus they kept getting elected. I know algore lost Tn, in 00, I do not know who won WVA, some FReeper can probably help me out, although I think I remember that PGWB won that state also.

You are not going to stop the voting records of the folks in WVA, untill the government programs are reduced and eventually done away with, while being replaced with free enterprise type legislation to help create priviate sector jobs.

Thier Senator Byrd, has not been thier savior, he is the one that has kept them and thier state in economic bondage.

As for Senator Byrd, how can you deliver all that bacon with out being afflicted by high colesteral, some problems take care of themselves in time.
