Why should we eat one of our own just to... appease Jackson and Sharpton?

Actually it might be best for the Republicans if Lott resigns as Majority Leader, and somehow it's made to look like Sharpton had a big say in the matter (maybe Lott could meet with Sharpton for "spiritual counseling" then resign!)

If Lott's still in power in 2004, he'll make a strong get-out-the-vote campaign poster-boy for the Dems. If Lott's out but Sharpton is a big face for the Dems, then Sharpton will rally Independents against the Dems.

Sharpton will NEVER rally anybody except white hating blacks. He is a racist, bigotted liar and anyone familiar with the Tawanna Brawley incident or with any of his activities since then knows this. If this is still an issue at the next election...and that's a long way off...then I'll concede that blacks may be motivated to turn out. So what? That racial turnout will likely cut both ways.

I'd rather believe that you were drunk already this morning than think that you were serious with this statement.

Trent Lott is an arse. I couldn't stand him a week ago and I don't like him now. The Lotts, Byrds, Thumonds etc have all got to go. I believe that a tiger never really changes his/her stripes. I think Lott's latest statements shows just how arrogant and stupid he really is. I mean what kind of a bumbling fool makes that sort of statement. The Republican party has made a lot of headway into the reversing of the massive brainwashing black Americans have gone through via the Dem black leaders. Leaders like Lott are not helping the cause. Lott is a weak Maj Leader who is constantly making mistakes. How is the Rep party supposed to move forward if we are always having to babysit nimrods like Lott. Sorry for the rant but I am just pissed.

What garbage! You don't win by giving up.

How do you feel about Iraq? Should we kiss Saddam's clymer as well?

By the way, winning is necessary to stay in power.

If Lott's in power in 2004, America will be enthralled in some other scandal.
