I thought actions were the measure of a man.
LBJ regularly used the "N" word in front of black members of his administration, yet signed the Civil Rights Bill.
If you can cite something from Lott's legislative past that indicates he votes against blacks (he does vote against quotas, which I hope you'd agree with), I'll be happy to reconsider.
But words don't mean jack-sh*t. Watch what men do, not what men say.
Tell it to Trent Lott.
Tell it to Patrick Henry.
