Now how does that make Lott fit to lead the republican Senate?
Are we going to allow hypocrites and idiots to lead us just because the democrats can get away with it? What does that make us?
It makes us stupid as rocks to drive Lott out over this issue.
Yes and when they fire Lott he will retire. 99 percent of Bosses who get demoted retire if they can. Lott can. The Democrat Governor of Mississipi will appoint a Democrat to replace him. That will make the Senate with Jeffords 50-50. All Daschle has to do is get Chaffee,or Snowe, or McCain to jump to the Democratic side and Daschle is Majority leader for the next two years.
The choice is Lott or Daschle... Nice to see you are for removing Lott. The odds are 65-35 that your alternative is Daschle.
I just don't think he should be leading the pack. He should be a cog in the wheel and not the lynch pin.
The Killing Of Matthew Shepard Was A Free Political Commercial
Actually, I believe it IS time to re-write this post. I think I'll call it "The Attack On Trent Lott Was A Free Political Commercial".
You do understand that the Left is renting space in your head with this phony & completely free ad campaign that's worth millions of dollars to their agenda?
I guess it's the least that PeterDanTomKatie can do for their side after the horrific "November 5th Massacre". ;-)
See #5.
Most of the people on this site can't even see what is going on. When they wake up to find two more Judge Souters on the Supreme court they will figure it out.
Up until the mid 80's the Fairness doctrine applied to Radio and TV. Under the Fairness Doctrine shows like Limbaugh and Hannity were illegal. They have been legal for only about 17 years. Back in the 70s and 80s I would have loved to do a Rush type show. I owned the stations. But it was illegal to do such a show. Reagan was a master of working around the Fairness doctrine. But even then he was limited to a show of 3.5 minutes a day and he could not mention any current events situations. He had to talk in generalities.
There is no doubt in my mind that if the Democrats can get liberals on the court a new fairness doctrine will be declared by the courts. If it is applied to the internet, Free Republic would become illegal too.
It amazes me that everyone is sooooooo concerned about bruising Lott ego, to the point that they would let him lead the entire Republican party down the drain just so he doesn't turn into a Benedict Arnold.
Frankly I'd be willing to call Lotts bluff. I don't think he wants his name tarnished forever like that traitor Jeffords. If Lott does that, then Lott's name will replace Clymer's as a description of a certain part of the anatomy.
The Pubs need to sit down with Lott and convince him that it is time to let the Republicans have new leadership. If Lott is too big of a baby to do step down gracefully, then let him resign the Senate and let the chips fall where they may. At least the republican party can maintain some dignity going into the next election.
That's exactly correct...We are talking about some of the most sensitive egos in the world here and I have no doubt that Lott wiil leave the Senate. I would do the same.
If Daschle can get Chaffee or Snow or McCain to jump ship, then by golly Daschle deserves to be Senate Majority leader. At least he'd be effective. Lott couldn't get Jeffords to stay on. That was the first indication that Lott is not an effective leader.
BTW, what makes you think all three of those guys won't jump ship if Lott stays on as Majority Leader? What is Lott going to do to keep them in the party? Throw a birthday bash for them? Do you think an idiot like Lott is going to persuade them to stay after all the negative publicity the repulicans have gotten ofver this? I don't.
As a matter of fact, I believe that if Lott stays on, we are probably going to see AT LEAST 2 RINO's jump ship within the next year.
Wanna Bet?
You're up against Nazis, dude. They have a plan, and if they get the power, you and I will be toast. The Tator is right, as usual.
All Heil to our fearless leader Lott!
The democrats never want that song to be sung and it is evident that by voting 97% democrat, blacks don't either. Without the race issue democrats have nothing and they have parlayed that strategy into the most virulent form of racism this country has known since republicans ended slavery.
