I didn't find Lott's comments about Strom Thurmond offensive, but his Democrat buddies sure turned on him and smeared him to high heavens....never mind that Robert Byrd had more segregation baggage than Thurmond. Lott deserved to be removed before he made the infamous comments, because he couldn't remember he was a Republican! He let Tom Daschle outmaneuver him on major issues. There were some who thought he was helping Democrats because his brother-in-law was active in the Mississippi Democrat Party.

I'm pretty sure all FReepers would agree.

The dems really screwed up when they blew his comments out of perportion. They already had Trent in their back pocket and could have continued having their way with him if they'd have not kept up their feeding frenzy. Trent Lott can point the blame at the President, Allen and others all he wants, but it was because of his ineffectiveness as leader and democrat butt kisser that caused the people in his own party to prefer different leadership.
The truth hurts, Trent, but you only have yourself to blame and the bitterness and blame game you're playing will only destroy YOU. Get over it already and try to act like a legitimate Republican for your remaining time in office, please!

His comments re: Thurmond pointed it out very clearly: Not only did Lott have no huevos, he had no brains. The reason he kept on getting rolled byt the dembots was 1. He is a wuss and 2. He doesnt have an ounce of common sense
