Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.

Vote them all out of office. And the first order of business in the new congress should be to cancel all their pensions.
=================================
....first talk radio, then the internet, and then that pesky word of mouth.
I’m sure he just means talk radio propaganda is swaying people more than that he’s pushing, so propaganda efforts aimed at garnering support for this immigration legislation need to be stepped up.
I don’t need talk radio to know when something is wrong. This bill is wrong. Trent Lott is wrong. I do hope the folks that are not listening to the people re-read the declaration of Independence...it talks about when grievances are not dealt with there is a time we move from legislative to use of force. Lord, I hope Lott is not challenging us to have another revolution.
Mr Lott there is a reason “Minuteman” is in my screen name.
I recommend everyone read Senator Tom Coburn’s book “Breach of Trust” - it’s all about protecting incumbents, regardless of party. They’d sell their own mothers to stay in Congress. Not too many people of honor left in that group.
People of Mississippi - throw this JERK out, and I’ll try to throw mine out, too (Levin & Stabenow).

Wonder how long it will be before the US legalizes prostitution? That's what happened in Mexico a few days ago, so we should be expecting a similar bill to be introduced here.
YESSSSSSSS!!! WEEEEE AREEEEEE CONTROLLEDDDD BYYYYY TALKKKKKK RADIOOOOOOO. Mind-numbed robots.
These F..KERS are using every trick in the book to discredit the majority of the American people. Do they not realize WE CAN GET MORE ANGRY?
CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
“What is going on?”
IMO, We are witnessing a complete restructuring of life as We “use to” know it. This is the unofficial unvailing of the NWO/NAU. (or something much worse)
I keep flashing back to the 2 aliens on the “Simpsons” who transformed themselves into Clinton and Bush Sr. ??
..We're gonna send you back to Texas, make you work on your ranch, yea...yea.
Wow ONS, talk about kicking over some rocks. Great post!
Thank you for the information.
“The talk radio bill will be shoved thru next”
If Lott thinks that he is being flooded with anti-amnesty mail wait till he feels the tsunami of letters
he is going to get if he tries to pass a radio Fairness
Doctrine bill.
The guy is just asking for it.
The U.S. Senate has to be the biggest cry-baby legislative body imaginable. Always blaming someone if
they can’t get their way. I would love to repeal the
absolutely useless U.S. Senate with its arcane rules.
At the minimum bring back Real Filibusters where senators actually had to blow hot air non-stop.
Methinks that Mr. Lott has just "jumped the shark".

MARK STEYN ON TRENT LOTT: “I have no serious expectations of Senators these days, but I would like them at the very least to try and sound a little less like the plump complacent emirs of the one-party-state of Incumbistan. Trent Lott fails even that test.”
