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.”

Yet another reason NOT to give to the RNC when they call or write. Support candidates that support our consitution directly not through the RNC.

Well all of the little Socialists are getting their panties in a twist, so I would expect them to all join hands and do something about ‘talk radio’.

All I can see is that there is a problem that the voters of Mississippi have to deal with.

Right on! Surely, after this latest, this ought to put Mississippians in shock.

Surely, with most Mississippians being conservative, the voters there will boot this traitor to conservativism out of there.

Ol’ Trent can no more “deal with that problem” then he can deal with the “problem” of the sun rising in the east.

What’s hysterical is Lott’s inflated sense of self-importance. This guy really thinks he’s got some power.

Shut up Rush Limbaugh and those damned conservatives. You are all for the "Fairness Doctrine," eh, Trent? You're a phony!

I can wait for the day when every incumbent is voted out of office. We need Washington back to respecting the people wishes. They voice on talk radio because no one in D.C listens.

Trent Lott? I thought he was going to retire when he lost his majority leader seat?

The hurricane hit and he had to team up with his trial lawyer brother-in-law and fleece insurers.

“Talk radio Free Speech is ruining America.

Exactly.

The level of gall and total disregard for the voting public is astonishing. Aside from the security and sovereignty of our nation, the political calculus is of this shamnesty dumbfounding. These morons are legislating themselves (Republicans) into permanent minority status and destroy the great American economy in the process.

If this bill passes, anyone with $1M better be leaving the US if they want to keep a penny of it.

I just got thru to Sen. Lott’s office. Let the gentleman on the phone know that talk radio was not the problem, that Lott and his ilk were.

I think old Trent’s panties are in a wad because he hasn’t been allowed to wear his college cheerleading outfit in public anymore or the skirt doesn’t fit anymore. One of the two.

As Rush pointed out, Talk Radio was the only outlet defending Lott after his Strom moment.

Trent Lott has a long way to go until the end of his term WITHOUT talk radio ever defending him again! The next time he shoots off his sorry mouth about something that upsets the liberal media, he can just go stew in his own juices.
