Republican Senate Whip Lott To Republican Senators And Republican Base: Drop Dead
www.HughHewitt.com ^ | 6/7/07 | Hugh Hewitt

From the WaPo, word of the continuing GOP meltdown:

Senate Minority Whip Trent Lott (R-Miss.) said he has told the most virulent Republican opponents that he will not tolerate a raft of amendment votes designed simply to filibuster the measure, and he castigated his own party's senators for their vote switches.

"We're going to do this damned thing, and if we don't, I think we should dissolve the Congress and just go home," Lott fumed.

The sooner the Republican Senate caucus can find 41 votes to declare the bill beyond repair, the better of the GOP will be. The presidential ambitions of John McCain are smoldering as a result of the fire he started, and now the GOP's 49 seats look to take another major hit in the fall of '08.

How much does that sound like: “I’m taking my ball and going home!”

The republic could rest easy if they did go home. I'm for sending them all back home!

You can quit anytime you'd like, Senator. No, I mean it. Really.

Right now I could not think of a more honorable thing for most of them to do. By all means GO HOME.

NOW.

With what’s coming out of Congress, the American people don’t need Congress. Disband it and save the taxpayers a whale of a lot of money.

Dissolving Congress would be the best way to keep America safe.

When I look at a neighbor with brown skin, I want to think, “American”.

Same as me.

I don’t want to think, “second class citizen who does the sh-t work”.

And I don’t want to think, “criminal who broke into my country and wouldn’t leave”. What’s the matter with Lott?

See, what these “lawmakers” (and I use that term loosely) don’t get is that it’s not just them against the “base”. It’s them against the entire American People.

Well Senor Trent your comments do nothing to endear yourself with your parties base.

No respect, stab in the back, traitor, lost elections, pandering, turn coat are words Senor Lott you need to look up and remember.

My money’s on them. We keep sending them back time and time again, and we’ll no doubt continue to do so. We deserve what they do to us.
