I remember years ago when I got politcally involved after clinton’s gun ban. Trent Lott was so gung ho and I thought, “yea, this guy’s going to fight this back.” Then it came to the impeachment and how it seemed like a softball to knock out of the stadium. Trent Lott was on a Sunday morning show speaking so mealy-mouthed I thought WTF? I’ve come to believe it’s all a one party system. Pat Toomey is another example.

I posted a very similar thought about Trent Lott being a slug in a bad rug, and was attacked by another FReeper who said that Lott couldn't have gotten enough impeachment votes, and how he did the right thing, needed to focus on other agendas, etc.

I agree with you - Lott was a wimpy loser who came on strong and suddenly "grew in office", as liberals like to say of Republicans who become RINO's after election.
