Rest in peace Senator Byrd. The state of WV and our entire nation mourn the loss of such a magnificent public servant today.

@Luinreg I disagree, I think even in Byrd's early days in the Senate, that many still ran as Senators in order to set up a Presidential run. I mean, Byrd even mentions LBJ. LBJ always had Presidential ambitions. What about John Kennedy? A Senator from MA? Or Richard Nixon, a Seantor from CA? I think these two Seantors eventually became President or something? Politicians in the 1950s were as much opprotunists as they are now.

You should remember that Trent Lott and Haley Barbor are more connected tothe KKK than Byrd is. I saw a history channell documentary on the KKK. One memember says he hates liberals. That means he beleives he is a conservative.

He is right about one thing. People are no longer running to BE senators and representatives.
Something changed when the baby boomers are getting near retirement and Gen X are starting to get old and Gen Y is starting to get into power. I see more people throwing out their responsibilities to be political celebrities. I see more people throwing out ethics to make a quick buck. I see more people spreading hate and fear on the people of this country to push their own agenda.

Yeah I understand that people are opportunists. But it has never been this bad before and on such an extreme level.
I see more people willing to sell out and hurt and harm other people just to gain their rewards. I just think ethics are missing in our society which is strange because religion is one foundation for ethics.
