Yeah, and what a speech he gave.  He should become a motivational speaker.  hahaha . . . Hey, can I have a fantasy dream ticket for 2008 and put Perot/Miller together?  Just think of it . . . at least 4 years of catchy Southern sayings.  hehehe

Dana Carvey would like that...

You bet he would.  Caught one of his classic comedy pieces on HBO a few weekends ago.  I miss that guy.  I wonder what ever happened to him.

He made really crappy movies like the Master of Disguise.

Byrd was in the KKK for a brief period 60 years ago. I don't hold it against him anymore since his views have changed.



How much did his views change when he voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964?  BTW, on Republican (of many) who supported it was Gerald Ford.

What does Gerald Ford voting for a bill have to do with current members of Congress?

It shows the distance (or lack thereof) Byrd traveled from his Klan days.  Compare ex-Klansman Hugo Black, who was one of the nine that overturned Plessy v. Ferguson.

I also oppose the Civil Rights Act, and I'm no Klan member.

Only three or so Senators: Chafee and the two idjits in Ohio. Ideally, I would replace 70 or so Senators (40 or so Democrat, 30 or so Republican), but this isn't an ideal world...

I got to hand it to Lincoln Chafee for sticking with his party.  Once the Republican Party was full of people like him and they would win in Northeastern states like New York and Connecticut regularly.  The moderate New England Yankee Republican is all but extinct today.

Assuming I'm still a Democrat in this:

Robert Byrd and Joe Lieberman (I wish!!)

Gerald Ford is one of my favorite presidents (see sig).

Plus, we have the same birthday. Cheesy
