A: Because he owns the ultimate “Get Out of Jail Free” card: the (D) after his name.

He campaigned for Byrd during his last reelection. I guess all is forgiven. Funny though, if you look at the history of the forming of W. Va., it is actually an illegal state. But, due to the confusion and trauma of the Civil War, it is forgotten. It all goes to show that Obama supports anyone and anything that will get him into the White (?) House.

If this isn't a great example of where the path of liberalism leads, then I don't know what does. Robert Byrd, a Racist, able to spend small fortunes in a single bound, wrapped in partisan politics his entire life, apologist for Democrat mis-behavior and law-breaking, <strong><em>is nearly </em></strong>as incompetent as is Nancy Pelosi, and the Dem's continue to place these types of personas in positions of authority. Ha! They talk a good talk, but have shown time and again, they cannot govern to the masses, and <em>only care about </em><strong>POWER and PARTY</strong>. I say, hooray for the Democrats! Keep up the good work. You are making our jobs that much easier. Now, if we could only manage to give the liberals in this country have a brain, they would be twice as smart as they think they are now. I love this!
