Posted by salaamallah@hotmail.com on Fri Jul 4 12:05:23 2008 Sen. Jesse Helms dies at 86-----good riddance , !!!Republican known as 'Senator No' served 30 years before retiring in 2003 RALEIGH, North Carolina - Former Republican Sen. Jesse Helms, a leading conservative from North Carolina who served 30 years in the Senate before retiring in 2003, has died, the Jesse Helms Center said Friday. He was 86. "Former United States Senator Jesse Helms died at 1:15 a.m. this morning in Raleigh," the center, which is based at Wingate University, said on its Web site. Jimmy Broughton, Helms' former chief of staff, said the former senator died of natural causes in Raleigh. The blunt-talking Helms was known as "Senator No" for opposing just about anything that obstructed his conservative view of the world. Helms built a career along the fault lines of racial politics and battled liberals, Communists and the occasional fellow Republican during his decades in Congress. He was slowed in later age by a variety of illnesses, including a bone disorder, prostate cancer and heart problems. ap upi |

He had hardening of the categories...Actually, he played his "ideological purity" to build a stage for himself. It was more about Jesse than ideology. |

A subprime candidate with a subprime loan. How fitting. |

FYI I don't give a shit about Byrd. He can rot in hell with Helms as far as I concerned.But Byrd has not promoted the same agenda as Helms and hasn't been anywhere near as influential as Helms was. It's really the racial politics that Helms introduced, or more accurately never abandoned even well into the 90's, that I didn't like. |

No, it's not okay to have been a member of the KKK, but that's a totally separate issue than having problems with their political positions and votes.Besides what makes you think that I'm for gay marriage? |

I already said that Byrd can rot for all I care, but I don't know as much about him as I do Helms. I lived in NC when Helms was at his most powerful so I know a lot about him. On one hand Byrd was in the KKK decades before I was even born. On the other hand Jesse Helms was on the floor of the US Senate calling Martin Luther King Jr. a communist and womanizer on the floor of the Senate in opposition to a national holiday when I was in high school. |
