With all of the bad things, he also stood up for some very worthy causes for average people who didn't have a voice in the U.S. Senate. He played a major role in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which paved the way for people, regardless of economic status or race, to cast their ballot. In 1990, he helped pass the American with Disablities Act and then Family Medical Leave in 1993.
To be fair his legislative record, like most, contains both good and bad.

I was thinking about some of this yesterday while on my way home from work. I was listening to the radio and the guys on there were talking about the "good and bad" of the man. They talked about meals on wheels and ADA and such.
Then I remembered that Hezbullah provides healthcare and food to tens of thousands of poverty stricken people in places like the Gaza strip and Lebonon.
Mike, are you willing to balance the fact that they are terrorists who dont have a problem in the world killing women and children?
