Ex-Ku Klux Klansman Forces Vote Delay

NewsMax reports: A day after ex-Ku Klux Klansman Robert Byrd forced the full Senate to delay a confirmation vote for the first African-American woman ever nominated as Secretary of State, White House chief of staff Andrew Card blasted Senate Democrats for playing "petty politics."

According to the Boston Herald, Card said that the insult would not soon be forgotten, warning Democrats that they "are poisoning any hopes for bipartisanship."

Even the New York Post is criticizing Byrd: On Saturday the New York Post blasted Sen. Byrd, openly questioning whether the former member of the anti-black terrorist group was motivated by racism.

"They say a leopard can't change its spots," the paper editorialized. "Can a one-time Klansman change his, umm, sheets? The way Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W. Va.) acted this week, it's fair to ask."

Those Dems...crybabies all...they use filibusters, delay tactics, obstructionism...all because they don't know what the hell they are doing...or even what they stand for anymore...and they wonder why nobody takes them seriously?
