Quote from jem:
every educated american knows knows it was the republicans who supported and passed the important civil rights legislation not the democrats
and byrd was a member of the KKK.
He also had slip ups that betrayed his actually prejudice in the last few years. Dems give him a pass because they have no values.
What values do the Republicans have? Big government? Record budget deficit? Bridge to nowhere? Boy pages? Male prostitues? Drugs bought but didn't inject? "Heck of job" Brown?
The Republicans who passed the civil rights legislations have all passed away. The Democrats who opposed are now all in the GOP (Lott, Shelby, and the retired ones Helms, Thurmond). So what's your point?
