Oops....we think alike. Let's let this one stand since you got it up first!

Okay you're confusing me. But then I was born that way.;-)

May I be the first to say I support Trent Lott and wish him to remain Majority Leader of the Senate!

[Dog]

I started a thread also......:-)

"He has a brief announcement"??

[section9]

This isn't a pep rally, Trent. Butch it up!

Statement is up:

Seems to be making apology, and it appears to be heartfelt.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

"I have sinned!"

[kcvl]

Why is what Trent Lott said any worse than what Robert, KKK, Byrd, said? The media didn't do this to him! Al Sharpton tried to (and almost did) ruin a man's life by accusing him of raping a black child. I NEVER heard an apology for that!

I am NO fan of Trent Lott but, this is IGNORANCE on the part of the media to keep pounding away at the man for a SIMPLE mistake. I hate the double standard!!!

If there is ever a reason for Lott to resign, this press conference is one...

absolutely no sense of what he has done -

he said he will not step down for something he has been accused of...

is he political tone deaf or what...

he even grads Sen. Simon and Jeffords names in the conference - why?

He can't cloak himself with his buddies, he may not be a racist, he may not be the sharpest knife in the senate...but, man, he has done enormous damage to the Republican party this situation. I can't stand to watch thi sman as the leader of the Republican party in the senate - if we let him stay, we are going to lose in the senate, house, and even the Presidency in 2004. This guy is as politically deaf as Harvey Pitt, Paul O'Neil and Larry Lindsay - time to hit the sack.
