Senator Byrd is the best argument I can think of for term limits.

Congratulations to the longest serving Kleagle in Senate history!

The Grand Cyclops or Dragon or whatever he is must be proud.

This coming from cat killer Frist extolling a bigot with a brain strongly resembling Swiss cheese.

What is Frist's problem now? Celebrating how long that old Klukker's presence has stained the Senate?
Byrd's membership was a "mistake" of his youth,huh? What about all of his votes AGAINST civil rights? They were just...mistakes of middle age?

He hasn't been a KKK member in over half a century. Throwing this "sheets" crap at him is retarded.

Of course it is. Everyone know that you can only do that to a Republican.

It's not retarded if he's never come clean. But the point is that you don't have to answer for your past if you're a democrat.

Oh c'mon now...surely you're not going to judge the man by the company he kept, or the votes he cast for more than a decade? What's important is that he hates Bush.

He's admitted it and regretted it.

If that's good enough for you, you can have him.

Oh, please. Do you think a Republican with Byrd's Klan past would be in the Senate?

Kennedy and Kerry are equally good reasons for term limits.

I'd say pretty much the whole Senate is good reason for term limits, with very few excepitons. As for those exceptions it would be worth it to lose them if we could get rid of the rest of the princes and princesses along with them.

Well it was only a year ago that he said he's know plenty of white niggers. He was asked if he would like to retract that statement but instead he repeated it.

He is now and always will be a Klan member at heart.
