Jesse Helms

Helms' entire career was deep, broiled scar on the United States Senate as well as the State of North Carolina. When a small person acquires power so disproportionate to their mental acuity the people are left at a disadvantage. Hate mongering, ceaseless inflexibility, back-biting pretentious mannerisms were the hallmark of this nasty little politician who should have remained  a local country radio personality. The Senate is a body for understanding the complexities of modern life and all its ramification in the 21st century world. There is no place for any more like Jesse Helms.
