Please do not forget the stands of AL GORE, SR. as it regards Jim Crowe laws
while he was in Congress.
I have always wondered how so many POOR country attorneys leave office multi
millionaires and their kids get to go the 'prestigious' ivy league schools
and live in hotels with room service and then tell us they are children of
the land. GIVE ME A BREAK.
Coming from Texas, I have seen how the Klan has intimidated all and the
results thereof. We all need to be approving of asking for forgiveness from
all victims, whether they are black, white, Jewish, or Mexican. Everyone was
subject to the tyranny of groups like this.

Well, now you've opened up a whole different kettle of fish.......
Robert Byrd of WV is a DEMOCRAT....and they live by their own set of rules.
They don't have to abide by the same stringent rules that are applied to
everyone else.
Look at Ted Kennedy; look at Barney Frank; look at Gary Stubbs; look at the
Clintons and their financial shenanigans not to mention his "stuff" while in
office.
Republicans get run out of town over night when they get caught (as they
should), i.e., Robert Packwood; Mark Foley just to name two. But the
Democrats are very good at circling their wagons and relying on the American
public's severe case of Attention Deficit Disorder and a Democrat-friendly
press & media that will let certain things die.
It's called hypocrisy. Republicans & Democrats are both guilty but it is
only the Republicans who get their feet held to the fire.
