[rightwing2]

Fox News just reported that ABC reported that Nickles has called for a new Senate leadership challenge to Trent Lott!

You're way behind the curve, continuing to post JR's comments...that is old news. This thing is so far beyond that it's not funny.

[Walkin Man]

Please, give me a break! So now we can destroy a persons entire life because of what he was thinking, not saying??

And who determines what Lott was thinking when he made his remarks? The thought police in the democrat party? The leftist news media?? Geez....

[Torie]

All he said was "title 1." One of the reasons Specter is a doofus is that he can't communicate his way out of a paper bag. How many know what "title 1" is off the top? Is it this week's current best selling book?

[rwfromkansas]

Why should I care about the interests of one man when the entire party's image is at stake?

Lott is not a racist. I feel for the man. But, he screwed up big and there are more important things at stake than just one man.

[steveegg]

Chaffee has come out in support of Lott...

Because he knows that nothing would happen to him when (not if) he leaps with Lott as Majority "leader", while another Pubbie might actually do something to both him and Jeffords while trying to lead with a majority of VP.

[EternalVigilance]

Chaffee has come out in support of Lott...

Yeah, he should be in real good shape in the GOP with the support of Chaffee and Jeffords.

Maybe he can get Senator Clinton to help him bolster his crumbling foundation.

;-)

[The Great Satan]

Wow! A Senate Republican with stones! What's up with that?

[EternalVigilance]

Lott is not a racist. I feel for the man. But, he screwed up big and there are more important things at stake than just one man.

Yep.

[Howlin]

Would that be THIS Julian Bond?

[itsahoot]

budda you people throw Lott out the whole party is going to crumble!

I think they did a pretty good job of that already, or don't you remember the Phony Impeachment, your boy Lottypop presided over?

Shared power, loss of six seats under his leadership, folding on every issue of importance, not to mention, he must have failed public speaking 101.

You could reasure me of his leadership ability if you can just recall the dates that major bills concerning such conservative causes as Partial Birth Abortion were brought to the floor when we had the majority in both houses and the Presidency.

[TLBSHOW]

he spoke the truth

[BuddhaBoy]

I mentioned this the other day, and no one responded to it, but the fact is that if the Senate is closely divided, then Bush is better off with the Democrats leading it. Anyone who thinks having the Senate in Republican hands is an advantage is wrong, unless we had a veto-proof majority.

Bush cant really win with a Republican Senate, because they will compromise in a direction AWAY from the President. If the Senate were held by Dems, then the compromise is TOWARDS the President’s position.

I think Karl Rove understands this, and couldn’t care less if we lose the Senate over Trent Lott. The only exception to this, is on Judicial appointments, but Bush should have made recess appointments anyway.

[EternalVigilance]

Maybe it's a reference out of Scottish law...LOL

The tale began Sunday in New Orleans with NAACP Chairman Julian Bond's remarks to the civil rights group's 92nd convention. "He has selected nominees from the Taliban wing of American politics, appeased the wretched appetites of the extreme right wing, and chosen Cabinet officials whose devotion to the confederacy is nearly canine in in its uncritical affection," Bond said of Bush.

[EternalVigilance]

IMO he was was overreacting. Conservatives have been on the exact right track on this from the beginning and all the way through. Besides, none of that matters now...we're way beyond that.

[EternalVigilance]

Bond spewed a whole bunch of hyperbolic bilge there, didn't he... disgusting.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" #1 Senate conservative Kyl would be my dream candidate for Senate Majority Leader, but it ain't going to happen"

Well-that makes two of us!

[ImphClinton]

I listened to each of his apologies.

I am sorry if I offended anyone but didn't mean to. But don't ask my why I fought for segregation back in college. Don't ask me why I voted against voting rights. Most of all don't ask me to explain what would have been better had he been elected in 48 because that would show my true colors. (pun intended)

The fact that he say no need to go 45 miles to Miami to get on TV and quickly end this with a renewed call for some program to help end the disenfranchisement of blacks proves he is not worthy of the title Majority Leader.

[Walkin Man]

Thats blackmail.

Boy, I have heard it all now! If you take a moral stand and exericise your God-given right to vote for whom you see fit, thats 'blackmail'???

WOW!

Theres hundreds of thousands of patriots that are resting in the ground so that I could have the right to vote for whom I see fit that disagree with ya TBall!
