Democrats To Vote for Klansman as President!
My friends, I want you to hand out, read over the phone and e-mail this article across the fruited plain, because something big is going to happen next week when the Senate elects a president pro tempore - the man three heartbeats away from the presidency! The vice president is first in line and the speaker of the House is second under the 1947 Presidential Succession Act.
The Democrats will nominate for this position, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV), who just six months ago used the N-word multiple times on Fox News. In his youth, Byrd was not only a member of the evil Ku Klux Klan, he held the position of Kleagle! As Kleagle, Byrd received $10 a hood for every new member he recruited into the terrorist organization that burned crosses, lynched blacks and burned churches.
Will Democrat Senators and presidential candidates Tom Daschle, John Kerry-Heinz, John Edwards and Joe Lieberman be forced to account for their votes to put this man in line for the presidency? Don't count on it. Just as Byrd didn't have to resign as president pro tem when he made this statement on Fox, he won't be criticized when his nomination is made. I would love to see Byrd on TV fulminating, explaining and apologizing for that white N-word like Lott had to apologize for his statements, but it'll never happen.
