Never been a fan of Senator Byrd and most certainly not a fan of Senator Kennedy.
But none the less, Rest In Peace.

I think you need to understand that not EVERY person your grandfather's age gets dementia.

^I agree. My mother is 91 and is doing great. The only problem she is having is that her hearing.

Godbye, Senator Byrd


I don't agree with a lot of his views but he's one of the few senators who publicly acknowledged that the War on Iraq was a pre-emptive war. I remember his great speeches against Bush.

So Robert Byrd was a conservative against the necessary Middle East wars. That makes him as useless as a screendoor on a submarine.

Just because he died, it doesn't mean I have to change my opinion of the man.

Well, this is a Coincidence! I regard you in exactly the same way you regard Robert Byrd.
