Please listen to me: I don't like WEAK BACKSTABBING politicians.

Their party or mine.

You won't find me criticizing freaks in the DNC and not the ones in the GOP.

I hear you. But, the guy is a power player. He has won again. Now winning for him depends on us winning. We have to get back to Majority for this position to mean anything other than being the center of Fort Apache. This is going to a hard hard job. Other than McConnell, Lott is the toughest old bird in the Senate.

Politics of the Conservative base will force earmark and pork reforms. Or we won't get it. Right now, it is the most promising, because denying the Dems Pork and Earmarks are in our interests. They (The Dems) will be desperate to keep them, and now we can beat them from here and gone on it and not be shooting our own as badly.

Lott will cause alot less trouble and do alot more good in this position than any other.

I call that a net win.

Why not? There are so many DNC freaks, it's more than a full time job, and, seriously, the #2 spot is now a big deal...

quick who is #2 in the senate on the Dems side? Who likes him/her? who cares?
