best news I've had in a long time.

The Kennedy and Byrd team...We are going down and KKK Byrd and Mary Jo Kennedy will have to meet their maker. I hope none of your victims will be on your jury up there.

Well they say these things happen in threes, what sorry liberal icon is next? Kennedy who at best allowed a helpless girl to die, at worst killed her. Wonder if the KKK is doing a vigil for their former leader tonight as Byrd goes to the hospital? Why didn't these two proud liberals use the hospital plan they want to give to America for their own care?

SENATOR BOB BYRD IS UNIQUE IN MORE THAN ONE WAY - KKK MEMBER, RACIST, BIGOT, ADMIRABLE, IF DUBIOUS, SUPPORTER OF HIS HOME STATE OF W.VA, BLAH BLAH BLAH
REGARDLESS OF HIS PAST, WHAT HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS PIECE OF EFFLUENT, CHENEY, IS TRUE. CHENEY AND CRONIES SHOULD CERTAINLY BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE IN THIS COUNTRY AND W/O DOUBT AS A DEFENDANT BEFORE THE WORLD COURT IN THE HAGUE!

how old is this career politician anyway? Term limits need to be put into action, as guys like this make a living off the people taxes. get areal job you old racist.

He has a caregiver this country needs to wake up and put some term limits on the house and senate this is why we see all the grid lock hate on both sides they have been thier to long the man has early on setof AL he probably has a UTI they should change him more often.IMO

It use to be that the GOV of the state appointed the senators maybe we should go back to that system.

Swift recovery, Senator Byrd -- and thank you once again for your passionate speech years ago before the vote to invade Iraq. We need your wisdom even more now. Please get well.

FOLKS, THE FOLKS WHO SET THE TERM LIMITS ARE, WE, THE VOTERS!
DOES ANYONE REALLY BELIEVE THOSE,"FACE DOWN IN THE TROUGH OF PUBLIC FUNDS", ARE GOING TO IMPOSE TERM LIMITS ON THEMSELVES!! HUH!! GET REAL!!

thank you senator byrd for your years of courageous service.

Good, maybe he'll stay there. Senile old kook.

98% of incumbents are reelected.

WE NEED TERM LIMITS!

Byrd's fever is nothing like what he will encounter in hell.

How can Dems be so naive and so self-serving? Do any of you think that you'd be treated like Kennedy or Byrd were today under the health care system they want to force you to endure? Thanking Byrd for leadership? When he's dead and gone, you'll still be paying the costs of his self-serving costly endeavors. None of which are benefitting you.

How you feel about Senator Byrd depends on where your from. I live in WV & believe he is The Man. WV has seen many benefits from Byrd. Some of you angry responders have seen very little benefit from Mr. Byrd. I understand your concern but, frankly I hope that he is Senator for another fifty years.

From Wikipedia concerning Byrd/ KKK

I know now I was wrong. Intolerance had no place in America. I apologized a thousand times... and I don't mind apologizing over and over again. I can't erase what happened

BRYD AND THE REST OF THOSE CROOKS IN CONGRESS USE WHAT IS EUPHEMISTICALLY KNOWN AS "EAR MARKS" TO "TAKE CARE" (ASSURE THEIR REELECTION) OF THEIR CONSTITUENTS; THE VERNACULAR TERM WOULD BE "STUFF THE REST OF WE TAXPAYERS"!!!
HE AND SENATOR STEVENS R-AK, (REMEMBER THE MULTI-MILLION $$ BRIDGE FIASCO TO NOWHERE((JUNEAU TO THE UNINHABITED ISLAND AIRPORT??)) OVER THE YEARS HAVE CONSISTANTLY BEEN AT OR NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST IN SCREWING THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WITH THEIR WASTE OF TAX PAYER FUNDS.

It's time for the old ones to move out and move over. We see it happening.

Well, what goes around comes around.
Are they reaping what they've sowed all these years?

My prayers are that Senator Bryd is doing well.

God Bless Bryd: Dear God please give Mr. Bryd healing and comfort. Lord Jesus you ask us to pray for our leaders and tell us that by prayer we can help others. Teach us to pray and wish well for others, even our enemies. You tell us as we judge and measure out to others so we will receive. Help us be generous and kind to others for you, the world, and our selves. Bless Robert Bryd and his family, who worked to serve us, and bless us all as we too feel our bodies failing and returning to dust. God help us to love,
In Jesus' name, Amen.

At 90 i hope to be still playing on the wing scoring in the corner,then kicking a goal from the Touch Line after the Full time Siren....JUST TO BE A CROWD PLEASER......Don't laff..IT COULD HAPPEN.But maybe not in my life time.

Sen. Robert Byrd, 90 years old is hospitalized and I am sure the Obama people will blame that on Hillary too. The old ex-KKK-man has taken a dive after the illness of friend Ted Kennedy and having to work so hard to get an unelectable man nominated. In spite of his state voting for Hillary by +41%, he came out for Obama. I's baffling too me these old geezers are going to decide our next president is not going to be a woman.

Voters kept her in, superdelegates may push her out.

If the younger superdelegates don't take charge soon, this election might just be over.

If you think these bozos are bad wait until the next empty suit is in there your beloved Obama is far worse because he is young and will like these bad apples be around for a long time. these people are not real men just bozos in the public dole line. Cut and Run....Tax and spend.......

Think about the future.......

I was still in high school in West Virginia when Robert Byrd and jennings Randolph were elected to the Senate. For those who find fault with Byrd's association with the KKK, I would urge you to look at your own past and ask yourself if there are things that you regret and which you are now ashamed of. If you have lived a perfect, sinless life, then go ahead and criticize the man. Otherwise, respect the man who in an era when we elect presidents who have been married more than once, and who have serial affairs, remained faithful to the same woman for their entire marriage.

Senator Byrd has a past he regrets and for which he has apologized. However, he has merit and good character for which he should be respected. He has done well by the state he represents. He has listened to those he serves and then has done what is needed. One example are the highways needed by all who traverse the state of WV. Thse country roads now give access to all who live or travel through this beautiful state. Regarding whom he supports for president, though most West Virginians have offered support to Sen Clinton, not all have. So, Sen Byrd has seen fit to support the constituants who are in the minority, and supported Sen Obama.

Blessings on your head, Sen Byrd, and thank you for the good things you have done for the state and people of West Virginia.

Robert Byrd represents an old and dark side of American politicians. He fought hard against the civil rights amendment along with Al Gore senior. Then when it became politically expedient Mr. Byrd was deeply remorseful of his past as a Klan leader. A true politician

His and Ted Kennedy's behavior has led to our current wildy leftist democratic party. Todays Democrats will say and do anything that a poll tells them to realizing that they have (through leftist policies) dumbed down the population to the point where they can get away with anything.

So while the majority of you lunatic leftists lionize Ted K. and Robert Byrd, I wonder what happened to the party of social responsibility that JFK represented...
