Him being in congress for 30 years?

The NAACP gives him the good'ol "5 Stars".
Yet, he shit all over the Civili Rights Act.
He says it was his Greatest Mistake; yet, as a Exalted Cyclops (WTF?)...I mean SHIT...ya think a good'ol boy from WV might'a been involved in some evil shit?
A man has the ability to change. Do ya give him any "room" on that?
Are you referring to the Southern Democrats here? Most of which jumped parties in the 60's?
Just curious what point you are trying to make.
Something like when Glenn Beck said that the 'civil rights movement belongs to us?' whatever that 'us' was supposed to mean, presumably pasty-faced mormons?

June 10, 1964
At 9:51 on the morning of June 10, 1964, Senator Robert C. Byrd completed an address that he had begun fourteen hours and thirteen minutes earlier. The subject was the pending Civil Rights Act of 1964, a measure that occupied the Senate for fifty-seven working days, including six Saturdays. A day earlier, Democratic Whip Hubert Humphrey, the bill's manager, concluded he had the sixty-seven votes required at that time to end the debate.
The Civil Rights Act provided protection of voting rights; banned discrimination in public facilities—including private businesses offering public services—such as lunch counters, hotels, and theaters; and established equal employment opportunity as the law of the land.
As Senator Byrd took his seat, House members, former senators, and others—150 of them—vied for limited standing space at the back of the chamber. With all gallery seats taken, hundreds waited outside in hopelessly extended lines.
Georgia Democrat Richard Russell offered the final arguments in opposition. Minority Leader Everett Dirksen, who had enlisted the Republican votes that made cloture a realistic option, spoke for the proponents with his customary eloquence. Noting that the day marked the one-hundredth anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's nomination to a second term, the Illinois Republican proclaimed, in the words of Victor Hugo, "Stronger than all the armies is an idea whose time has come." He continued, "The time has come for equality of opportunity in sharing in government, in education, and in employment. It will not be stayed or denied. It is here!"
Never in history had the Senate been able to muster enough votes to cut off a filibuster on a civil rights bill. And only once in the thirty-seven years since 1927 had it agreed to cloture for any measure.
The clerk proceeded to call the roll. When he reached "Mr. Engle," there was no response. A brain tumor had robbed California's mortally ill Clair Engle of his ability to speak. Slowly lifting a crippled arm, he pointed to his eye, thereby signaling his affirmative vote. Few of those who witnessed this heroic gesture ever forgot it. When Delaware's John Williams provided the decisive sixty-seventh vote, Majority Leader Mike Mansfield exclaimed, "That's it!"; Richard Russell slumped; and Hubert Humphrey beamed. With six wavering senators providing a four-vote victory margin, the final tally stood at 71 to 29. Nine days later the Senate approved the act itself—producing one of the twentieth century's towering legislative achievements."
When will bastards like him and McCain get BLAMED for the condition THEY put us in. But no! He will be celebrated.
Run a list of names starting in the '80's, of politicians who KNEW we were headed for the shitter, yet they just stood around, looking concerned and making happy talk about how the government needs to get it's act together on spending. They didn't do shit! 30 fucking years of nothing lies and bullshit.
That's when they took the 'Cuffs off.
From the frying pan into the fire.
