A perfect example of someone out of touch with the majority of the Commonwealth's voters.
That is exactly how I feel with Senator
TURD Byrd our senior Senator from WV. When I called his office yesterday and voiced my opinion, I made the comment, "I wanted the senator to know what a constituent's view is even though he usually does not care and will do what he wants anyhow"
The assistant who had answered the phone asked me, "What makes you say that?"
I responded, "Well, during the Carter administration when the US gave the Panama Canal back to Panama, they had done a poll and over 95% of West Virginian's were against giveing it back. Senator Byrd was on 'Meet The Press' or 'Face the Nation' and when the moderator asked him how he could support something so strongly that such a high percentage of his constituents were against, and Senator Byrd's response was 'I am not just a West Virginia Senator, I am a NATIONAL Senator!'.
The woman thanked me and said she would let the Senator know my views on SB2498.
