Sen. Byrd Endorses Sen. Obama


The wonderful thing about the human spirit is that it can change. Case in point is that Sen. Robert Byrd has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama.


WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Robert C. Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and a one- time opponent of civil rights legislation, is endorsing Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Obama is vying to be the nation's first black president.

The West Virginia senator says Obama has the qualities to end the Iraq war.

In a written statement, Byrd called Obama "a shining young statesman, who possesses the personal temperament and courage necessary to extricate our country from this costly misadventure in Iraq."

Byrd is the longest-serving senator in history and third person in the line of presidential succession.


See, there is hope for our Country and World. If a former KKK member can endorse a black man, think of what is possible in our world.

"think of what is possible in our world."

Senator Byrd also happens to have an Iranian son-in-law, Mohammad Fatemi, who is married to his daughter Mona Byrd.

Church Lady; "Well isn't that special."

What are we to make of the son-in-law crack? Does this mean Sen. Byrd is a member of al Qaida?

Most Iranians are good people who have had the relatively minor misfortune to have their actual or ethnic homeland dominated by the authoritarian Shah (whom we misguided, then abandoned)followed all too soon by the major misfortune of the Ayatolahs. With very few exceptions, those who have come to call America their home have made ours a better nation for their joining us.

The fact is that Iran has only been an important nation since 600 BC or so -- and it is its tragedy and the world's that, instead of a constitutional monarchy or secular republic -- it must suffer the reign of mad theocrats.

Perhaps no madder than ours Rapture Repubs.

By the way, the "Obama Info" site is exactly the swiftboating crap that the Repubs will be using -- while McCain pretends to be appalled by it all.

Fear is a powerful motivator, especially when linked to prejudice and ignorance. It is what the Repubs do best.

While most people do not like them because of the weaker stat types, in this game you do not have to work about that with rohan crone. The other thing that backs this up is their ability to cast many rohan online crone and stun spells. When put rohan gold to the test they can also use powerful magical attacks to fend for themselves. Templar Quite the aggressor, they are more of the fighting type healers who only use their rohan online gold to magic on themselves. By using rohan money to buy crossbows they attack slower but with their powerful attacking skills it dose not matter much.
