1. 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed with Republican support, almost filibustered by Leftists. Gore’s father was one of those who was vehemently against it yet they escape judgment on their actions. It was passed against their vote.
2. If the same type of things were said/written about Byrd... how would the Leftists react? Why are you... selectively choosing our "candidate"?
3. Congress has worked with Lott for decades, why haven't they been exposed to consistent racial characteristics by Lott in the past?
4. Why has Thurmond remained silent?
5. What effects do Welfare and education have on segregation and racism? Until recent years which party has implemented reform on each? How did Lott vote?
6. Anyone recall Kennedy's one way conversations with ML King? When does it come time to "cleanse" for that?
7. Which party is being "cleansed"? How many of you... truly don't believe Lexus searches were run throughout last week? How far back was too far back during the Clinton administration? As many in our who were victims, what did the Leftists gain? What does it say to you... about today?
8. If you... are going to allow the Leftists (who assert they are free of segregation and racism) to publicly assault our party without demanding they look in their own mirror, what have you... accomplished?
I just proved that incorrect, why are you ignoring it?
2. Yes, without reading the RAT press it is still predictable. I'm saying that if even a conservative can't honestly conclude that what he said in context of the sum of his recent and ancient past, then what does it matter if the lefties are howling about it.
Clue me in on what that means.
3. If the Lott hadn't said it last week and if he didn't have a past that corroborates the worst you could take from his remarks, then it wouldn't be an issue. You are "judging Lott in context to the Lefties" yet you refuse to address Levin's actions.
4. That's what Joe Blow is going to see, over and over and over again.
See 3.
5. And, for the record, the first post you put up was my illumination of a typo. Segregation. There, I got it right.
LOL! You have a goldmine of examples, if replacements are needed it's no problem.
It is. I'm tired of 'leaders' who worry more about what the RATS think than what we Republicans think.
One of these days we're going to get somebody who can think like a majority party Leader instead of like a scared minority party leader.
Can't be soon enough for me.
You don't. Period. Brought to you courtesy of the STUUUPID party.
You don't defend the statement. You ask that the entire party not be judged by a dumb statement by a leader who was raised in a different time and place, who knows now that the old attitudes were wrong, but had a momentary relapse.
