"No chewing gum on line!"
Except at hog-calling contests. Lott wins those left and right.
There are alot of suggestions of folks who will be great in 2 or 4 years from now.. but the choice was Alexander or Lott. Lott, despite all of his negatives is alot stronger. He won all of the moves thus far in his climb back to the top, but the next move involves us all winning. We will all have to see. But, sometimes choices need to be made and this was the best.
Probably because they don't want the job.
Yeah, that's gonna happen.
He'll get his revenge, word by word.
LOL..........."I'm with stupid!"
Lott deserves it, but unfortunately this will be death to us in the way the media plays it.
LOL!
"Also, Trent Lott is one of the most respected Senators up there."
If that is true, we should probably abolish the Senate.
Oh, a tape is always much better than somebody who worked for Thurmond who was standing five feet away.
The Senate has a Majority Whip and a Minority Whip too.
LOl old habits die hard
Thanks for the heads up....I missed a lot of it.
Was Warner playing tough guy??
Well, joining the Malcontents is up to you.

Petronski: Shakespeare knew. See my tagline.
Try not to run that crap on me, donna.
See, I'm not like you; I've actually been FOR something for the last eight years, as opposed to be AGAINST everything.
Try to remember the difference.
Lamar Alexander was running against him.
I wonder who Corker voted for?
Trent Lott has supported affirmative action all of his political career. (Even though AA is wrong.) He's not a racist -- let alone a segregationist.
There are plenty of other reasons to loathe Lott, which I can agree on. But not that one.
That was totally manufactured by the DNC media. Which was made even more apparent when they ignored far more egregious remarks under similar circumstances by their masters in the Democrat party.
When Trent Lott is introduced as a racist because of his comments about Strom Thurmond, we need to remind people of this:
on May 5, 1993, in what the Washington Post characterized as a "...moving 88th birthday ceremony for former senator William Fulbright, President Clinton last night bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom on the man he described as a visionary humanitarian, a steadfast supporter of the values of education, and 'my mentor.'" Clinton added, "It doesn't take long to live a life. He made the best of his, and helped us to have a better chance to make the best of ours...The American political system produced this remarkable man, and my state did, and I'm real proud of it."
Of course, the man Clinton was praising, who he called his "mentor," who supposedly embraced utopian values and made the world a better place for everyone, was also a rabid segregationist.
In 1956, Fulbright was one of 19 senators who issued a statement entitled the "Southern Manifesto." This document condemned the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. Its signers stated, among other things, that "We commend the motives of those States which have declared the intention to resist forced integration by any lawful means."...
Fulbright later voted against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. He voted against the 1965 Voting Rights Act. And he did so because he believed in separating the races -- in schools and other public places. He was a segregationist, heart and soul.
