What was troubling was, as I've said repeatedly, his point about how we wouldn't be having all these problems we've been having.

That's troubling. Not his praise of Sen. Thurmond per se. But that comment. It does trouble me.

Okay, I guess I do not understand.

In my mind he is right. We would have allot less problems had we ever elected a pro states rights president.

Well, at least Lott didn't award Thurmond with the Medal of Freedom. Imagine the liberal howels then! But Clinton awarded it to Fulbright. Who cares, right? Certainly not the Democrats. Certainly not several conservative pundits. Speaking of which ... I hear repeatedly about how the Senate Republicans are so weak and lack toughness. Interesting, isn't it, that all those tough conservative pundits are the first to jump ship; so far, even Arlen Specter has come to Lott's defense. For once, the man understands what's going on. Too bad so many here don't.
