Trent Lott is behind this "deal". Apparently, Trent Lott thinks Janice Rogers Brown is an "extremist".

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.

My two senators are drooling Dickie "I never met a solider alive I liked" Durbin and Osama " Hi I am passing as a Black Guy" Obama.

They just laugh at me.

Trent Lott thinks Janice Rogers Brown is an "extremist" Maybe he is racist after all.

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.

Those fools on the Hill had better be reading this thread, because THIS IS THE BASE! We WILL stay home in 2006 if you morons cave in to the Socialists! We WILL support REAL Conservatives, not the faux Conservatives that are there now! Lott, Hagel, Frist, Lugar and the rest of you had better be ready....the long knives are coming out, and they will be headed RIGHT FOR YOU! You WILL be UN-ELECTED!!!!

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.

Surprised that a 10 paragraph explanation saying a guy named Jose from Matamoros hasn't been posted yet on this thread.

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.

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.
