@spinkiegirl Said Another good point...but what I keep asking voters or someone who claims to love this so called 'great country' so much...is if we judge our politians by the company they keep...then why did david(kkk) duke get elected a seat in the house of repersenatives? No one has every answered that question for me....
First of all...
David Duke never got out of Louisiana House of Representatives..in case you don't know that is a low level state job...

Duke has also unsuccessfully ran for the Louisiana Senate, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, Governor of Louisiana and twice for President of the United States.
OK now you explain
Robert Byrd...The longest running senator in history
A Democrate always has been a democrate...
Byrd witnessed Klan parades during his childhood in Matoaka, West Virginia. Byrd joined the Ku Klux Klan when he was twenty four in 1942. His local chapter unanimously elected him Exalted Cyclops.[4]
According to Byrd, a Klan official told him, "You have a talent for leadership, Bob... The country needs young men like you in the leadership of the nation." Byrd later recalled, "suddenly lights flashed in my mind! Someone important had recognized my abilities! I was only 23 or 24 years old, and the thought of a political career had never really hit me. But strike me that night, it did."[4] Byrd held the titles Kleagle (recruiter) and Exalted Cyclops. Byrd worked as a welder for warships in a Baltimore, Maryland shipyard during World War Two.[4][5]
When Byrd was twenty eight years old, he wrote about the 1945 racial integration of the military to segregationist Mississippi Senator Theodore Bilbo:
I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
?Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944 [6][7]
