I think Trent is talking about Nelson of NE, not Nelson of FL, who is the much more liberal of the two Nelsons.
Trent has been a loser for so long he knows no difference!
Gee, I had no idea that Trent's brother-in-law is a prominent MS Democrat! Would that be a sister's husband or his wife's brother?
Do you think that it is possible to find a younger conservative, a real conservative, in MS who would dare challenge Lott in the June 2006 primary? I don't think such a person exists.
You're right: Lott stepped down. He was not replaced by Frist in a head-to-head challenge. GWB favored Frist. Let's hope that this silly outburst from Trent registers on Tom DeLay, and he will not follow the Lott route to oblivion and irrelevance.
It is really hard to start a list of the really good Republican senators. I scarely know where to begin or who to put on the list. Surely, Dr. Coburn would top such a list. Maybe Wayne Allard. Perhaps there's still hope for David Vitter or Richard Burr, but I'm just speculating.
That sums it up pretty well. If they aren't corrupt yet, give them time. With all the serious problems confronting the country, all these clowns care about is watching polls, covering their ass and enriching themselves any way they can. If I or most people I know performed the way they do, we would be fired and probably arrested.
Well Lott did get royally F'ed.
It was wimpy Republicans that caved to the dems and the MSM over stupid BS, even lamer than the current versions on Delay.
He did what... said Strom Thurman was a "great man for all times" or something, and democrats said that wasn't right becuase he was Pro-Seggration at one point, and that Lott meant it as a 'old boys club' racist comment... media complained, dems hammered, and he lost his seat "to make them happy"
I'm not saying he can't refuse to "listen to GOP critsizm", but he really did get royally screwed by the spinless 'moderate' attitude that we all know and hate.
Hey Trent...is that a Texas Buzzard feather?......
Goy a couple a thangs to tell ya....
A) Maybe that dead buzzard feather is why you got the stank!
B) It's a $500 fine in Texas for killin a Buzzard...
C) No charge in Texas for kickin your butt to the curb....
When I read it, I thought it just as likely that he meant: "Pubbies, please, don't criticize me for "working with Democrats" - I wouldn't work with them for any reason, Democrats threw me overboard and I feel no obligation to work with them now under any circumstances."
The title of this thread puts "(GOP)" after the pronoun "them" in the quote, but I don't necessarily think that's what he meant. That "them" might just as easily have been referring to the Dems that people are accusing him of "working with".
For the record, I'm not big fan of Lott. This isn't about defending him. This is about accurately interpreting what he actually said, which everyone deserves.
Qwinn
Lott did not lead.
Lott did not follow.
Lott just got in the way.
For Godsakes, Mississippi, GET RID OF HIM!!
.
If he were my senator, I would call him and tell him I support him.
Out of curiosity...why?
Because I'll stand with anyone who is willing to put what is right ahead of political partisanship.
Hey, Trent: Take it like a man, you whiny little creep. Jeeze. Between idiots like him and the RINOs, is it any wonder the Dumbs are acting like they're in the majority?
Ummmm...okay...
You haven't seen overboard yet, you mincing little pillowbiting fairy.
