right post, wrong thread, sorry

[dogbyte12]

Now this is getting intbresting.

[mrsmith]

Drudge puts out his usual provocative Sunday headline (to hype his show).
As usual, there'll be much much less to this than the headline says.

[tomahawk]

Frist is my Senator and a great man. He or Nickles are light years better than stupid dufus Lott.

[Sparta]

Bye-bye Lott.

[Mr. Mojo]

Frist is an anti-gun SOB. Look him up.

[SuziQ]

I didn't think Frist was conservative. Would he be willing to push the President's agenda to ban partial birth abortion, and get more really conservative judges on the Fed. bench and to the Supremes? Or is the Pres. just looking for someone who would be palatable to those few moderate to conservative Dems and who could deliver their votes when needed.

How about Frist for Majority Leader and Nickles as Majority Whip?

[Carolinamom]

Drudge's teasers coming on Sunday (prior to his radio show) are as reliable as the timings of Clinton's adm dumping on Fridays.

I'm listening to George Will on "This Week." I thought Lott ought to go because he's such an idiot. I still think he ought to go for that reason. Will doesn't think that Pickering will be renominated because of what Lott's done. Lott's a liar, as well. He says that he was speaking of Thurmond's support of defense in the '48 party platform-- only, there's "not a syllable" about national defense in the Democratic platform for that year. Lott is a closet racist/segregationist. Too bad for him. Too bad for the Republicans if he stays as majority leader.

[Hildy]

You know what makes me so mad...the Repubilcans...we, the grass root, worked so hard this past election to get these guys into office, and then in one moment, we're set back an incredible degree. This movement, this party, is bigger than one man. He needs to go, and he needs to go NOW. If he gives up his Senate Seat, then he really is just a closet racist, who only cares about his own personal needs. Screw him.

[putupon]

Lott, no balls AND no brains.

I'm sorry he has to go this way, but make him go sit in the corner, shut up , and vote the way he's told.

Sen.s Frist & Allen, these guys are bonafide. Good examples of what we need to run the Senate show.

Frist isn't a lawyer, a bigger plus! Allen's a lawyer, but not a dirt bag, so he's OK too.

[ex-Texan]

This is really Big. It proves that GWB will take the high road and to hell with the consequences.

"Do the right thing" is in GWB's mind and that is very important for America. Trent Lott must go. GWB has made up his mind. This will influence America deeply, and cause a fundamental shift in thinking for all voters.

I like the way this is leaking out, too.

Nice touch.

Please take care,

Well, the only thing that is keep the Republicans from removing Lott is giving the Democrats a sense of success.

Most Republicans are quite annoyed by Lott. The, and we, feel that he is way too accomidating to the Democrats. We would like to see him step down from a Leadership post. Not as a Senator, mind you, but from the Republican Senate leadership.

The Democrat bashing of Lott based on an obscure reference during a Birthday celibration is pure Partisan bashing by the Democrats. You won't find a single Republican calling for him to step down because of this offhand remark. Conservatives are far too pragmatic for this kind of behavoir.

Many Conservatives would LOVE to give the Democrats just what they are asking for...Have Lott stand down and put a real HARD NOSE in his place. We would love to give them the kind of BS that they gave us during the 1994 congressional session.

As far as Lott is concerned...He had better fly straight and be tough. Democrats and the Media are not his friends. They are pure spiteful enemies that wish him harm. he should start treating them as such.

They are trying to pull a Newt Gringich on him. Don't let them, but at the same time...Toughen up. Gosh... Lott you are from Mississippi for gosh's sake! Act like a MAN , not like you were raised in Cambridge...Jeeze!

[rs79bm]

I second that motion.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If what Lott said is so despicable and unforgivable, Karl ought to be calling for Lott to resign from the Senate completely. The fact that he is not proves that this whole incident has nothing to do with what Lott said and everything to do with getting him out of leadership of the GOP Senators.

You are a sleaze-bag, Karl, to gin up bogus "RACIST!!! RACIST!!! RACIST!!!" slander from whole cloth. Shame on you. If you want Lott out, be forthright about it instead of using Jesse Jackson's sleazy tactics.

[upchuck]

Lott should step down as Majority Leader. He has been beat like a dog and played like a fiddle over and over again by Dasshole. His "50/50" power sharing idea was rammed down his throat by the RATS.

Let him keep his seat but his days as leader need to end.

[Defender2]

And Here is the Democrats Dirty Little Secret:
59 members of Our U.S. Congress(Nancy Pelosi included) belonging to the "Progressive Caucas" of the "Democratic Socialists of Amerika"
http://www.dsausa.org/
is their website. they have been trying to take over this country for several years now!!!!

[Reagan Man]

Karl Rove isn't stupid. He knows, that if it appears Sen.Lott was forced out by the Bush WH, it would be a huge political victory for the Democrats. I'm all for replacing Lott as GOP Senate leader, but not on the terms of the liberal establishment. I'm appalled at the spineless and weak kneed reaction that so many conservatives and Republicans have exhibited in the last week over the trumped up charges against Sen.Lott. If the GOP loses control of the Senate over this, it will be a dark day for all conservatives.

[lewislynn]

It's true then, Rove really is the President.
