re: #297 BigPapa

I love how they completely ignore the fact that Byrd very publicly apologized and attempted to atone for his actions and disavowed his earlier behavior. His voting record post his apology was also consistent as being a changed man. For people who profess to be Christians, what Byrd did would seem to fall into the category of forgiveness and attempt to right wrongs, yet for some reason the holder of grievances don’t appear to be as charitable.

Don’t get me wrong Byrd wasn’t a starry eyed liberal, but even he saw how the ACA could be a help to the people of West Virginia and voted accordingly even as self-professed Christians like Senator Imhoff were praying fervently for his death (and for Sen. Kennedy to do the same).
