50 years in office isn't an accomplishment it's a disease

Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2010 1:38 pmI don't find anything anything about what Byrd did with the system the slightest bit more corrupt or moribund than the system itself already is.

Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2010 1:50 pmSeniority itself is corruption. It is anti-Democratic because it encourages us to keep people in office for the simple fact that they've already been in office. So if you make it past 10 years in office then it's hard to get you out because the voters lose the committee appointments that come with Seniority. So it really has little to do with Robert Byrd it has to do with being in office that long.
