Bla
Jesse Helms was the most evil Senator of this time. He changed from Democrat to Republican. He liked to kill people. He murdered people. He was racist, homophobic and basically homocidal.
- Thats why he should have the best article at conservapedia!
Thanks!
Thanks to the people who have started helping. I intend this as a starter stub, Helms's career was very long and complex so its hard to get it all. So keep it coming. Richard 02:11, 25 March 2007 (EDT)
