You see this guy? You can see him right?
But can you see through him?
This is not a BS Picture. Well it is....but it isn't. It's Cornelius Calvin Sale Jr (birth name) known in some circles as Robert Byrd. Yes Robert Byrd. He was the United States Senator from West Virginia. Byrd served as a Senator from 1959 to 2010 and was the longest-serving senator and the longest-serving member in the history of the United States Congress.
Another reason we need term limits. It's an election not a coronation.

In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to create a new chapter of the Ku Klux Klan.
According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob ... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did." Byrd held the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops.When it came time to elect the "Exalted Cyclops," the top officer in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously.
In 1944, Byrd wrote to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:
“ 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. ”
I don't want to say... unfortunately he died 6-28-10. On the other hand fortunately is not the word I would choose either.
So I'll tell you what. I'll let Bill Clinton handle the "unfortunate" passing. This is what he had to say:
Clinton excused Byrd's early association with the KKK:
(Only Clinton could pull this off)
"I'll tell you what it means. He was a country boy from the hills and hollers of West Virginia, he was trying to get elected. And maybe he did something he shouldn't have done, and he spent the rest of his life making it up. And that's what a good person does."
Kind of exemplifies his own life don't you think?
After reading the above you have to wonder... why is the Black Vote in the Democrats Pocket?
(You'd think this guy alone would be motivation to vote Republican.
Those Black Americans living in the Democrat-controlled neighborhoods who are tired of being poor should take control over their own destiny and stop voting mindlessly for Democrats who use "plantation politics" to buy their votes while keeping blacks in the poor house.
Democrats will forever hold a "lock"on the black vote, for as long as Black Americans... including rich Blacks who sympathize with poor Blacks... continue believing the myth that the Republican Party is a racist party and clinging to the bull that poor blacks are "victims" who need government handouts to survive.
Charles Barkley summed it up nicely:
"The poor have voted Democrat for 50 years. They are still poor."
Remember this Guy? He freed the slaves.
Work hard
Become successful
Be happy
The Democratic message:
Vote for us and we'll give you this
Democrats... paving the way for Blacks... From the plantation to the projects.
