    To be fair to Demos they did get rid of Zell Miller. Besides, it's not the DNC re-electing Bryd, it's his cons uency....
    And from what I understand with the backing and support of many Democrats in office. , Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, have seeked his guidance and advice.

    It's not just Robert "Grand Master" Byrd I have a problem with. In many of the cities in America that the misfortune of cir stance has befallen the Black community, places such as New Orleans (Pre-Hurricane Katrina), Detroit, my hometown Oakland, and others, who is in political power? Democrats!!! Lets not even mention the that went on during the mayorship of Democrat Richard Daley of Chicago and his son when they either permitted or simply ignored the corruption of police commisioner John Burge who is noted for his torture of minority suspects into false confessions. Barack Obama even campaigned for the re-election of this incompetent/corrupt man.

    I just get sick and tired of many people in the Black community who say that Democrats look out for them and that Republicans are the evil ones when neither party looks out for them. Simply put, this two party system in America sucks!!!

    Agreed. However, at least until we get a system where the winner must have at least 50%+1 of the vote, I will normally vote republican rather than libertarian. Voting libertarian or other 3rd party is a wasted vote. In 1992, Bill Clinton won because Ross Perot took 18% of the vote, mostly from those who would have otherwise voted for president Bush-41. If we had run-off elections, Perot and the others would have been discounted, and a new vote would have been only between president Bush and governor Clinton..

    However, things change with run-off electrons!

    Maybe, Ross Perot would have had a higher percentage than president Bush, leaving a run-off between him and governor Clinton. This is in the realm of possibility when people are not afraid of throwing away their vote!

    Yeah, I mean how could he and his parents be so naive to think advocating for a widely popular children's health care program wouldn't result in vicious personal attacks and stalking?
    Doesn't matter what it is. If you can't stand the heat, don't enter the kitchen.
