And people wonder why the country is messed up. Here is just one great example. If this were u or I at our job, we would be fired right away.

A Byrd in the Senate is worth two Bushes in the White House.

He's been in Congress longer than anyone there & if he saw the rules & manners of Congress go by the wayside- he more than anyone else in this country had a right to say something. Perhaps it took him a while to get it out, but he made absolute perfect sense

My opinion Senator Byrd has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORD "LIBERAL". He STANDS for AMERICA & he stands for what is right. When the "war" w/ Iraq was being so quickly pushed through Congress, Senator Byrd was the one who said "WAIT. Don't rush this".

To the comment below: I don't live in W.V.- I am not a liberal or democrat or Dem. Or Repub. Or Independent- I don't believe in labels but Senator Byrd is my true hero & one of the few people who give me hope for this country. He's ole so it took him a long to get out what he wanted to say & it made perfect sense & it needed to be said.

I am from West Virginia and I am ashamed of Sen. Byrds performance in the past few years and i think he shouldn't run for re-election in 2012. I think if West Virginians would pay attenetion to things like this, they wouldn't vote for him. I think he is a liberal representing a conservative state, only getting by with the name "Byrd". Same thng goes to Sen. Rockefeller. Both should step down. Byrd has been in the senate for almost 50 years. Rockefeller has been in for over 20 years.

...and the Strom Thurmond comment was a joke. ...you're way too serious.

Um... You're going a little overboard. Chill, and go with your liberal self. And back to the original question, yes... enact term limits, as well as driver licenses! Older people (over 80), especially on meds, should not drive.... ...or be 4th in line for the Presidency. Sorry, pal... But if this video doesn't prove this... you're an idiot!... amazing! whew! wake up!

Strom Thurmond, my ass! I've never even been to West Virginia, and I am still a huge fan of Senator Byrd. He has served longer in the Senate and cast more votes than any other senator in American history. What really touches me is that, two years ago, when his term was up, his wife had recently died, and he was approaching age 90. Yet, he ran for an unprecedented ninth term in the Senate because he wanted to serve West Virginians. God bless you, Senator Byrd! God bless you!

Do you think we should enact term limits?
