[Freddie Stubbs]

:shrug:

[Cha]

3. Does Byrd give a reason for

this vote for an extremist?

[ToeBot]

4. When Obama asked for money to help Byrd's campain...

I was too broke to contribute. I guess even poverty has it's little up sides.

5. For the most part....

I've never agreed with byrd..

7. He's a conservative Democrat

Just being against the war does not make him a liberal in any way. Go look up his votes on gay rights, might as well be looking at a Republican's record...

9. Does come from his days in the KKK?

;)

8. DU views everything through the prism of the war

Byrd is hardly a progressive.

10. Relax..no big deal... just a little throwback to his KKKlan daze..

[Jack The Tab]

12. Hey, I'm all for traditional conservative judges myself...

But this new bunch of NUTJOBS are not conservative, they are radical extremists with fascistic tendencies, if not outright aspirations.

These extremists will be the ultimate downfall of our 250 year experiment.

Byrd and the other Dem who voted in favor of this judicial activist should be ashamed of themselves.

13. Wasn't Byrd one of the 7 who gave us the Glorious Compromise?

At least he stuck to what he "compromised" on. Unlike the other 6 who are covering their sorry asses by voting meaninglessly against the fascist they were too cowardly to filibuster.

14. Fuck Bird

Once a KKK always a kkk man.
