Senator Robert Byrd endorses Obama? This guy shouldn't be endorsing any one. He is a prime example of the Democrat Party as a whole. Robert Byrd (Democrat) has been in Congress since 1958. A Kleagle (recruiter) in the Ku Klux Klan. Blurts out the "N-Word" still to this day and no one holds him accountable. He wrote about the desegregation of the US Military and stated,

"I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.

-Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944 [6][7]

If he were a Republican you Democrats would make sure he wasn't re-elected. But Senator Byrd, this racist bag of crap still chairs the most powerful committees in the Congress and he has been re-elected time after time. Why? Because he is the State of West Virginia's Sugar Daddy of Government hand outs and earmarks. How long are Democrats going to continue to tolerate racist and sexist in order to play Robin Hood with our tax system? Bunch of Sell Outs!
