You have a lot of nerve complaining about Dem Congress member`s spending.

Byrd cannot touch the pork barrel handouts, entitlements, and corporate welfare of the no-good, rubber stamp spend like there`s no tomorrow Republican Congress.

Nobody spends and steals like the Republicans. Thats historical fact, not an opinion.

DROP:

"Byrd was a member until his late 20's."

And Byrd had changed quite a bit SINCE THE 1940s, when he was encouraged into joining the KKK by his family. As I've noted before, his actions speak louder than his words: Byrd supported all 33 bills by the NAACP, the NAACP gave him a 100% on their report card, and Byrd lobbied for an MLK monument in D.C. Meanwhile, McCain voted AGAINST the MLK holiday TWICE and has been recently DIRECTLY quoted saying racist slurs. But this is all obfuscation anyway because, 1) Byrd is not running for president and 2) I told you I wouldn't vote for him anyway.

DROP:

"McCain isn't responsible for Quinn's remarks."

No, he only hired him to be his campaign manager. Quinn only refers to McCain as a "maverick politician"--the same label Quinn uses to describe KKK leader David Duke.

LOL.

Here's your own precious John McCain defending Obama from Wright's remarks:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/28...

Despite his newfound willingness to make political hay out of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, John McCain insisted three separate times on Monday he does not believe Barack Obama shares Wright's extremist views. 'I've said again and again, I do not believe that Sen. Obama shares Rev. Wright's extremist views which he has stated, whether it be the United States Marine Corps or the flag or what,' McCain said."

Here is your Mike Huckabee DEFENDING Wright and Obama.

"'[Y]ou can't hold the candidate responsible for everything that people around him may say or do,' Huckabee says. 'Many times those were statements lifted out of the context of a larger sermon. Rev. Wright got caught up in the emotion of the moment. As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say "That's a terrible statement!" I grew up in a very segregated South. And I think that you have to cut him some slack.'

Huckabee, who grew up in the segregated South, added that if he had experienced the kind of discrimination African Americans have in American history, he would probably have become bitter.

'Sometimes people do have a chip on their shoulder and resentment,' he said. 'And you have to just say, I probably would too. In fact, I may have had more of a chip on my shoulder had it been me.'"

McCain is NOT the only one seeking the endorsement of these conservative Christians. In fact, Pat Robertson endorsed Giuliani. Jerry Falwell endorsed Huckabee. Bob Jones endorsed Romney.

Also, all of these individuals endorsed GW Bush, and yet I don't hear a PEEP from you--all very telling of your double standard.

And here are some choice excerpts from your own Christian conservative icons.

JERRY FALLWELL:

"FALWELL: I believe that pagans, abortionists, feminists, gays, lesbians, the ACLU, and People For the American Way -- all of them who have tried to secularize America -- I point the finger in their face and say "you helped 9/11 happen.

ROBERTSON: I totally concur."

PAT ROBERTSON:

"The Antichrist is probably a Jew alive in Israel today."

"Many of those people involved with Adolph Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals; the two things seem to go together."

"You say you're supposed to be nice to the Episcopalians and the Presbyterians and the Methodists and this, that, and the other thing. Nonsense, I don't have to be nice to the spirit of the Antichrist"

"If [Chavez] thinks we're trying to assassinate him, I think that we really ought to go ahead and do it. It's a whole lot cheaper than starting a war."
