Well, she's no Strom Thurmond circa 1948.
With all due apologies to the late Senator Thurmond who grew beyond his early beliefs common to his era.
They just laugh at me.
The Democrats will fight like hell to keep minorities from gaining any serious power. They have to "be kept in their place." They're only used for fund-raising.
Now that Trent is working with them, it really does tell us something. I always believed what Trent said about Thurmond "being a good president" back when he was a Democrat racist was an accident.
Trent Lott = No Surprise!
But all of the Republican Bashers are having orgasms about it!
Imagine people JUMPING to conclusions around here why it is just inconceivable.
If they do it, they deserve the bashing.
It's clear from this post that you hate Jews.
DO NOT TAKE US FOR EITHER FOOLS OR GRANTED!
You know, the point of all this is ridiculous. If the democrats can convince 6 republicans to vote down the nuclear option, why can't they just convince these same 6 to vote against the nominees?? Answer, because senators never want to vote on anything and put their names on the line. And they never want to force anybody else to vote either. They do things by unanimous (anonymous) consent and by voice vote so that no rolls are called. Any one senator with some guts can deny unanimous consent and force a vote on anything. We're sick of the deals and the "comity" and the chicanery.
I've been trying to call Trent Lotts number, not Rush's.
Surprised that a 10 paragraph explanation saying a guy named Jose from Matamoros hasn't been posted yet on this thread.
I hear ya. I have Corzine and Louse-enberg, who laugh too.
ANDRE LENOGE: "Where is Republican Congress? Where are the Senators who won the election?
Nobody knows. Their chambers are empty and dominated by the minority party.
There has only been only one case like this in all of American history.
That was Roanoke Island [North Carolina] in 1587 when everyone disappeared. Every man, woman and child.
Hope is dimming for the missing pompous ever-preaching US Congress.
But .... there is word carved on the wall of the Senate Chamber, "Croaton".
No one knows what it means. A place favored for Congressional pork? A password for porn? No one knows.
But we all know one thing. The gutless Republicans will ALL need to be replaced in the next election."
And what about Orrin Hatch? Don't count your Hatch before he chickens.
If Lott is really doing this, he is doing so at the direction of the President. Look at the timing, I'll bet George thought the media would be distracted with happy pictures from Europe and never report this until it was sealed.
Publicity depends on the meaning of the word "media." You should know that by now, George.
Confirmed?
If they do it, they deserve the bashing.
Just hearing that Lott is thinking about making a deal makes my teeth grind. It's like "gr."
Calm down. This is a proposal. Nothing has been accepted and I don't believe it will be. Certainly we don't need to jump ship on Allen and crew at this point.
The surest way to regain their MINORITY status is for the Republicans to back off on reinstating the CONSTITUTIONAL perogatives of the Senate.
