25,28 - You write well and make good points, but it would be more powerful if you remembered that the election of 1948 was Truman and Dewey. Eisenhower was not elected until 1952.

What does that do to the logic of your arguments?

It does nothing. Strom Thurmond ran in '48, You are correct. I read/heard that he ran in '54, and I did not bother to check the date.
That simply means he ran against Truman-Dewey. Fine.

I stand by what I said.
Strom Thurmond is/was a politician, and would have gone whatever direction the political wind blew.
What difference 4 years, or even 8, if he succeeded in getting re-elected?
Truman's forced integration of the military had already taken place, and it wouldn't be until 1960 that the Civil Rights movement really began.
I know, Brown vs Board of Education Topeka (54) Little Rock (57)
But it really began in '60.
Strom would have been well out of it by then.

But Strom was a sideline, a thought about "what if" he had actually won.
My point was, Lott never said, "Those Race Problems", or "Those integration problems".
Lott simply said "some of the problems".
I am not a mind reader, and never claimed to be.
I have no idea what problems Lott was referring to.
Liberals and Lott detractors all must be claiming the power of telepathy, as they all claim to know exactly what Lott meant.
That is my whole and only argument.

I myself am a Lott Detractor.
But not on the basis of his comment, or even his poor record on Civil Rights as recently recounted ad nauseum.
( had I been more familiar with that record, I might have been more inclined however, to "assume" a racial reference to the remark.)

I don't like Trent Lott because he is spineless.
His failure to stand against Democrats and their Liberal (Socialist) agenda is the sole reason for my wishing Trent Lott to step down as Majority Leader.
We need somebody with backbone that will promote and defend Conservative Values, Conservative Legislation.

Yes, the DemonRats are racists. Senator Robert Byrd, DemonRat from West Virginia, on TV last year used the "N" word twice on national television, covered up by the left-wing biased press, never reported. This Rat was a past grand wizard of the KKK. All covered up by the left wing racist press.


Interestingly, Byrd was not in the armed forces in WWII, and that was also precisely when he was in the Klan. On D-Day, Strom Thurmond, a 42-year-old who resigned his judgeship to volunteer for the Army, landed in Normandy, and Robert Byrd, 26 at the time, worked comfortably in a defense plant in West Virginia.

In 1964, President LBJ, Democrat, praised the Republicans for their vote for the civil rights act of 1964 where 21 DemonRats voted NO while ONLY 5 Republican voted NO.

Bill Clinton, Governor 12 yrs. Arkansas, celebrated Confederate Flag Day for ALL 12 of his yrs. as governor and signed ACT 985 enacting Robert E. Lee day, If you forgot your history Lee was the General of the CONFEDERATE army.

Don't forget Bilbo, Faubus, Maddox, and Fulbright. Perhaps the worst of them is Hugo Black, a leading liberal Democrat senator from Alabama who pushed FDR's new deal through congress and, for his loyalty, was appointed by FDR to the US Supreme Court.

Like Byrd, Hugo Black was also a former Klan member. But whereas Byrd was a recruiter for the KKK, Black was much worse.

Black was literally a Klan attorney. He represented Klansmen who were under prosecution for hate murders. In fact that is how Black became famous in Alabama and later won his senate seat.

In 1921 a Klansman went into a Catholic church in Birmingham and murdered a priest in cold blood. He was brought up for prosecution and Klan lawyer Hugo Black signed on as his attorney. Black appealed to racial and religious hatred throughout the trial and even used his Klan connections to sway the jury. Reports of the trial note that at one point Black approached the jury, which included some Klan members, and flashed a series of Klan signals with the implication that they should acquit their fellow Klansman of the murder. They did and Black achieved his fame as the lawyer who got a fellow Klansman off the hook for a hate murder.



IN 1984, Democrat Gary Hart, visited the Wallace mansion in Alabama.

JFK

Roy Cohen worked with Joe McCarthy and Sen. Robert Kennedy was his lawyer

Martin Luther King's room was bugged by JFK and Robert Kennedy

Yes, the DemonRats have their facts wrong and cover up their biases within their biased press which they control. 93% of the media voted DemonRat.

Merry Christmas, well thanks to the political correct DemonRats, that's a bad term to use, it's now Happy Holidays.
