The Klansman speaks.
Cyclotic regrets that Byrd is a US Senator
The one in 1776?
Weak.
I guess that The Conscience Of The Senate (a title that he was awarded during impeachment) has realized that the only folks supporting the Act are "white niggers".
He wouldn't regret it had it been called "The Robert Byrd Patriot Act"...
This can't go over with the voters of WV..maybe Sheets can be folded up.permanently..
Can "sheets remember what he yesterday, let alone a few months or years ago?
I wonder if he remembers his grand Kleagle days?
Uh huh...he also "regrets" filibustering the 1964 Civil Rights Bill, opposing Justice Thurgood Marshall for the Supreme Court, his Gulf of Tonkin Resolution endorsement, and his vote to allow Operation Iraqi Freedom...give him time and he'll perhaps backtrack on his pork votes for items such as the bridge to nowhere over the hollars of W. Va., et al
We all have our crosses to burn, uh, bear.
So, the only things Byrd regrets his votes on are the key issues of the past 50 years -- Civil Rights, Viet Nam, economic deregulation, and the War on Terror. Other than that, he's pretty happy with his votes on Fire Prevention Week and Mothers Day.
At 88 years old I doubt Sheets can live through another
term in the Senate. He may die in office. The people of West Virginia would be doing him a favor to retire him.
The Vatican decided that Cardinals over 80 didnt have enough common sense left to vote in the Papal election. I think they may have a better clue than a lot of West Virginia voters.
Hmmmm, I wonder why he qualified the answer to limit it to his Senate career, is there something else he regrets. What I want to know does he regret lynching blacks or not lynching enough of them. He obviously did not regret lynching blacks too much when he was filibustering civil rights.
He regrets that he couldn't carry it off to West VA.
He said he "regrets-" being one of the head honchos in the KKK, too. The man is an embarrassment.
I wonder if he will resign over his poor judgement...
...after he found out that it didn't really move the entire government to West Virginia.
