I keep some information. I have not paid attention to politics that much prior to 2000. For a while there was some real Lott bashing on FR. I know why McCain is hated, but why Lott? Could you humor me, and list most Freeper's greviences?

Trent Lott, as Majority Leader in the Senate, had the Sworn responsibility to conduct a Senate Trial of Impeachment for W J Clinton, Impeached by the House. Fearful of his image, his ability to horse-trade in the future with Democrats in the Senate he felt more closely toward than his Party, constituants, Oath or Nation, he bartered away all his power to conduct a real trial.

Couple that with his actions in failing to use a Majority when he had it on virtually every single bill that came before the Senate, and you get the picture.

Now, to be true, a Senate Majority that has not enough votes for Cloture (60) is a pretty lame tool. But failure to even sharpen the tool is Lott's legacy.

I'd be obliged, Mr. Smith! Trent Lott is regarded in these parts as a Senator who finds it next to impossible to stand firm on principle when the rubber meets the road.

Case in point: during the conviction trial of President Clinton, Senator Lott allowed extremely constrictive rules that would in effect not allow the House Managers to present their case. No witnesses, etc.

He conspired to allow Clinton off without a real trial because he was desperately afraid of how the leftist elite would treat him. So I and many others blame Lott for Clinton being able to stay in office an extra two years and wreak untold havoc on our governmental system.
