This is Perfect! After all the times Trent Lott has Rolled over for Tom Daschle, The Democrat MINORITY!, and the Congressional Black Caucus - his so-called "racism" is now all he hears!

Maybe NOW he understands that his 'appeasement' and trying to be 'best pals' with the Dems will never work. They just laugh at him and wee it as a weakness.

Anyone know how to post the picture?

The decision is made, so that's the way it will be. Lott will stay no matter how his detractors wee it. No doubt his popularity amongst the Black Caucus will suffer as a result. His suport will drop from zero to extra small zero. Or maybe not. Who knows, he might gain support if any of the Black Caucus become fully conscious.

I think it is highly likely Lott is doing this with White House approval, perhaps even at their suggestion or on their orders.

It does appear that Lott will be the Majority Leader in January. At first I didn't know how I thought the Republicans should handle this. I thought, politically, Lott was finished. I had mixed emotions about that, because I think he has always been ineffective as a leader.

I now think it vital that he stay on, and the Democrat and their press wing are the reason I think this way. Anyone that thinks a Lott capitulation will cause all this to go away is delusional. They will simply go after his replacement with the same zeal.

The question is how compliant Lott will be in dealing with Democrats in the future. After al, his past wimpiness has availed him zip in this issue. Is there hope that the last week will effect an infusion of spine in Lott for January and beyond?

All this Strom Thurman stuff aside, the fact that the Senate Republican Caucus can't do better than this jellyfish disturbs me. It disturbed me before last week, but now that he is really damaged goods, and what with the inevitable collateral damage caused to the GOP because of him and the fact he STILL won't step aside as Majority Leader or even be challenged from within, tells me that the entire Republican Caucus in the Senate is made up of cowards and weaklings.

Thanks "new geezer" - It took me two months to figure out how to post a link!

I HAVE HOWEVER, FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE A HARD COPY FROM MY COMPUTER ALL BY MYSELF

Lott is a jellyfish. LONG before this happened, I prayed the Republicans would pick another. The humorous irony is, if the Republicans do succeed in getting a competent conservative to be majority leader, the ones whining the loudest will be those that wanted the head of Trent Lott on a plate.

I've found the true-flat monitors work best. ;-)

It didn't look great but now it looks worse.

Lott must do the right thing and step aside, rehabilitate his image, if it's possible, while chairing a committee that he can't collaborate with RATS on to our agenda's disservice - and keep voting with the good of America in mind. At least 73% conserative. (ACU's 'the Lott' rating)
