Who trusts McCain? He lied about making anti-Catholic calls in the primary in SC too...

Clinton and Schumer are playing a loaded game. The somehow think they can risk a race war to save the Democratic Party. I hope the flame out before that happens.

McCain was reluctant to fight fire with fire

Yes, he fought fire by running as a liberal democRAT instead...

while warning that the resignation of Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott would not "cleanse the Republican Party of their constant exploitation of race."

This from the folks who ran ads saying that Pubs don't want blacks to vote, if you vote for a Pub another black church will burn, and the chain dragging ad against Bush. Talk about the pot caling the kettle black (pun intended).

If it ever was, this has ceased to be "Democrats having Republicans on the run."

This is now:

Republicans watch the Democrats careen way beyond the line of responsibility and reinforce their disgrace before mainstream America --as Republicans display their true, conservative progresiveness, while correcting correct their mistakes.

Videotape of the incident reviewed by NewsMax shows the then-first lady offering a lighthearted but derogatory impersonation of Brown's speech patterns.

If it's on videotape, I can only pray it shows up ALL OVER THE NET if she tries to run in 2008. I'd love to see that piece of trash tarred and feathered all the way back to the Arkansas woods!

And don't forget to save it carefully for that very purpose, please!

Maybe this is just laying the predicate for McCain's future defection. Surely if he bolted it would be ostensibly because of some deeply fundamental moral issue that he has with the Republican party, and this race-card crap provides alot of cover. Set the media off thematically for a very long nauseating news cycle.

Demi Moore's boyfriend's wife personifies the DemocRAT motto: If you can't be part of the solution, there's good money to be made in perpetuating the problem.

Those who make false racist accusations are, themselves, racists!

I think the country has had enough of both Clintons and Carvill and the rest of the race-baiters who seek to continue to attempt to divide us. In my opinion anything they say should not be dignified with a response.

G*DD*M Bill and Hillary Clinton back to hell. The most evil politicians in this country's history have only just begun in their machiavellian, hitleric attempt to take power back.

If they get there again, they will stop at nothing.

These attacks are further warning shots. Evil vests itself in willing participants like Bill & Hill every few generations, and they must be defeated.

Problem is, they HAVE been defeated, and soundly, yet they regenerate thanks to the liberal media--and the Evil Teensy Bent One's ruthlessness. This Lott horsesh*t (over far less than the Clintons themselves have done their entire careers) proves once again that we can never let our guard down.

"The campaign for then-Governor Bush in South Carolina had a huge outreach effort to say [McCain] adopted a black baby," Clinton complained to reporters, a reference to leaflets that were circulated about McCain's dark-skinned daughter while Bush was fighting for his political life after losing the New Hampshire primary.

"I mean, what [Lott] did was state publicly what many of them have stated privately over many years," Clinton charged.

Though Bush's team denied any connection to the racist ploy, the McCain campaign was deeply angered by the effort - and the Arizona Republican is said to believe to this day that Bush sanctioned the race-based smear against his daughter, whom he and his wife Cindy brought to the U.S. from Bangladesh.

What's supposed to be wrong here?

How was McCain's daughter "smeared"?

The 'rats are trying to milk the "racism issue" for all it's worth, but the milk will turn sour soon enough.

They've already gotten all the mileage they are going to get out of it, but replacing Lott as Senate Majority Leader is more of a victory for the Republicans than the Democrats, as they will soon enough find out.

Now the Democrats are only straining their already thin credibility as they hurl ever more fantastic charges at the Republicans.

They may as well dance and shout now, because in just a few short days the Republicans will be hogging the spotlights, and the 'rats will have to get used to being second fiddle throughout the federal government.

Instead of Tom Daschle's sanctimonious carping and moaning about being "concerned", we will have Bill Frist speaking on camera about a harmonious relationship between Capitol Hill and the White House. Hold on to your hats!

If the 'rats were deserving of pity, now would be the time to offer it.

Does anyone really think the American electorate wants 2 years of race baiting, from the Democrats or Republicans?

This will wear thin, if not out completely. Let them do it, it's not going to win them any votes they don't already have.

It may backfire on them, with whites, blacks, Jews and others...

I like this: "I'll tell you what the Clintons would have done. They would have hired a private detective, they would have dug up all the dirt and they would have used it."

Once Iraq is attacked, all this nonsense is forgotten. Getting Lott out of there is "moving on" and democrat attempts to paint every Republican as racist becomes just so much whining and crying. Lott didn't survive because many Republicans didn't want him in there as SML and saw this as a golden opportunity to get him out as SML.
