BYRD - A DEM with bones is waiting for your seat, not a REPUG
I call on a a DEM challenger to beat both BYRD and the slimy "GUCCI LITTLE PIGGI" repug that now as all the RW support.

1. Uh-ha
I hope he will also be as passionate as Byrd is about the illegal war in Iraq, about the unlawful wiretapping of Americans by this president and in condemming the secrecy and other illegalites of this administration--like Senator Byrd has been.

3. Or as outspoken
On the Patriot Act. I will admit that he broke my heart today also and I let him know that he did. However I will not ever forget his filibuster on the Patriot act.

2. Sigh....
If Bryd steps down or is defeated in a primary, a Republican will likely take his seat.

West Virginia is turning redder every election cycle - just like many rural states. Do you not understand this? West Virginians are largely religious, conservative folks. Are you not aware of the fact that DU is not representative of the American public. This is a pretty left of center forum. The American people are not anywhere even close to as left of center as the population of this forum.

Byrd has gone directly after Bush over and over again. Very often, I am sure, against the polls in his own state. Byrd is going to vote for Alito. We may not agree with it, but we don't cast him overboard because he doesn't vote with us all the time.

4. Considering his whole patriotic, constitution-loving shtick, isn't he
at all concerned about the perception of his legacy?

5. You must prefer a Repug...
Because that's what you will get if Byrd goes down.
