You'd stand with someone who would sell out. You'd stand with someone who is motivated strictly by revenge. You'd stand with someone who is willing to sign on to adaptable rules that always seem to screw Conservatives. You'd stand for RINOs endorsing Democrats doing new -- and possibly unconstitutional -- things just because they can't handle that they lost.
Seems you'd stand for anything.
Good article by someone who knows Trent Lott very well.
Huh? Who sold out? Who is motivated by revenge? Who screwed conservatives? Who is a RINO?
btw, I don't think Trent Lott is perfect. He is a US Senator, after all.
It wasn't even a big deal among the Democrats or their comrades in the press. The group that kept attacking Lott over the Strom Thurmond birthday toast was a bunch of Republican bloggers and radio hosts. If you do a little research I think you'll find the Salem Radio Network had a lot to do with promoting the controversy.
It wasn't the Dems. The Weekly Standard and some 'Republican' radio hosts had far more to do with creating the controversy than the Dems did.
You know something', I do believe Ol' Trent has a point. He got sand bagged last time and no one took his side. I do not blame him for been bitter. We Republicans have a tendency of killing our own, just to please the Dem's.
Wanna proof?...just watch the Senate Judiciary Committee on C-Span.
Look at the sorry ass situation in the Senate;
the stinking Republicans don't even know they are in a MAJORITY.
They are still kowtowing to the Democrats for unknown reasons.
The Democrats are out of power lock,stock and barrel and the stupid Republicans in the Senate are still trying to please Reid, Kennedy, Clinton and such.
I am so embarrassed to be a Republican now a days (all this out of control pork barrel social spending), is not even funny.Those spineless assholes can kiss the monthly GOP contribution "goodbye" I am very,very disappointed about W's Domestic policy.Especially about "do nothing' illegal immigration "non" policy.
I do not know what the Republicans on the Hill think, but one thing is for sure...I am voting the sons of bitches out of office, and I WILL make sure we will get the right people's representative in the office.
Do you her me David Dryer?
Lott can make all the deals he wants, he is no longer the leader of the Senate and what he says means diddly, this stunt proves it was a good idea to get rid of him.
"Never happen"
Ken...you can take that to the bank.
I would absolutely love to see "Senator Chip",
but Trent won't let that happen........yet.
Hopefully, someone can make Trent decide that
he is in a "retiring" mood.
"You voting absentee?"
LOL!
You always make me laugh. ;o)
LOL!
As a born and raised Mississippian,
I can honestly tell you that I have
NEVER seen a "real" man look like that.
;o)
Welp...
Go on back and help. ;o)
Good to see you.
I found a great place to eat.
The owner is from Magnolia, MS.
We're talking serious, here...
fried okra!
;o)
Throw in some cornbread, and you've got a deal.
Anyone who let's his personal feelings affect his principles, has no principles. As a Mississippian, I will be voicing within the party at every opportunity the need for a primary challange.
God willing, perhaps not so secure as he might believe.
Roger Wicker or Chip Pickering would be excellent replacements.
the Big Tent ain't gonna get Janice Rogers Brown et al on the Federal bench
And they threw him overboard for the very same thing he is doing now - stabbing us in the back everytime we came to a critical point where he needed to stand up and fight for us.
Trent Lott is not one to have in a leadership position - as we see right here. Well, Trent - you just ruined yourself because of the same old problem - you just love to ingratiate yourself with the enemy.
This completely summarizes the problem with Lott and the overwhelming majority of the "leadership". These guys are far more interested in what is best for themselves than what is best forthe country. De Toquville once said that one of the flaws of American democracy is that we "are only allowed to choose our leaders from among those who choose themselves". This means we are always dealing with a suspect group.
I like Barbour but we need him too bad in Jackson to lose him to anything else short of the White House. Beyondthe Pickerings, roger Wicker is the other fine candidate. I'm thinking the state GOP ought to figure which of those districts will most likely stay GOP with a freshman and let him have the shot at Trent...but who am I kidding? This will have to be a Tomey-style insurgancy because the state party won't abandon Trent
