The Democrat Plan to regain control of the US Senate in January. Written by VannRox For BLUEBAY December 17,2002 Well, they are doing it again. That’s right. Pulling the rug out from the Republicans yet again. The victories of the November 2002 elections are but a faded dim memory, and yet the control of the US Senate, once thought and assumed to be in Republican control, may just be a fading dream. Like the Senate was in 2000, with a balance of power organized by Senator Lott, under the assumption that the Democrats would abide by the agreement, we find ourselves in yet another like situation. To refresh ones memory, it should be remembered that the Senate in 2002 was evenly divided between the Democrats and the Republicans. Lott, the Senate majority leader, felt that a power sharing agreement needed to be composed to "share" power with the Democrats. He believed, that the power composition would stay evenly divided, and that any dead lock would be determined by the VP – A Republican. What he, and the rest of the Republicans, did not know nor expect was that the Democrats began in earnest to recruit Republican Senators to turn and switch control to the Democrats. They were very active in this regard, and they, as well now know, promised the world to "Jumping’" Jim Jeffords. Who, as I should remind everyone, left the Republican Party and became an independent. Thus giving power to the Democrats. The Democrats then used that power to effectively stall each and every presidential initiative presented to Congress. They rendered George Bush sterile. To this day, many important bills and judicial confirmations have been stalled due to this action. The Plan for January. The Democrats have taken an innocuous comment made by Senator Lott, and are using it like a blunt mallet. Pounding and pounding away. Attacking and attacking like a rabid dog at Lott. Why? It is more than mere "Borking", they are approaching this with a ferocity that has been unequaled. Indeed, not even Carville would be capable of such sustained slander, vitriol and vociferous attacks. They have claimed every crime under the sun, and few not even in existence to unseat Lott. Why? If, the Democrats manage to "win" the fight with Senator Lott, and thus manage to have him step down from the Republican Leadership, they will have created a situation where as their control of the Senate is GUARANTEED. Senator Lott has made it known, that if he were to step down from the Senate Leadership position that he would leave the Senate. This is public knowledge. This would then force the current Governor of Mississippi; a democrat, to replace the Senator. He has also made it public that he would choose a Democrat…and a very liberal one at that. Thus, this action would crate a situation in which the Senate would be a 50% 50% mix of Republicans and Democrats. – Just like in 2000. Al the projected ties would then have to be broken by the VP. Stupid Political pundits and Democrat Activists within the media are making the same kind of statements presented to the population prior to the 2000 Senate Jim Jeffords Switch. That it is on Principle that one must (just MUST) get rid of Lott. "Oh my Gosh he’s got to go"…decry the seminar callers who have flooded the Rush Limbaugh Radio Show. They argue, that that is the "right thing to do…". The Democrat Activists are quite busy. Why? Because there are a number of RINO’s just ripe for jumping from the Republican party to the Independent or Democrat Party. One, who will remain nameless, but who represents a North Eastern State has been siding with the Democrats for years now and is ready to make just a switch, provided the keys to the Kingdom are provided to him. Unofficial sources are said to believe that his (the Senators) feelers on this subject were answered in a very understanding way. "…think of me as Santa Claus…" has been the response that is supposed to have been uttered. There is no question that this is in the works. Provided the Media pressure can be maintained through Christmas, and the Democrat activists can maintain a pro-leave Polling appearance…. Democrat strategists believe that they could possibly regain control of the US Senate in January. To facilitate this, special envoys have been sent to Mississippi to increase pressure there, via a write in campaign, and a media blitz, and promises of riches beyond any Democrat ideal of wealth have been hinted at within the halls and chambers of those "in the know". One such offer of such riches is the possibility is as a VP candidate in 2004. Yep. The Democrats are doing it again. And, we Republicans are just stupid enough to fall for it.
Actually that would be Clinton as history will reveal.
Outstanding spoof - but yet so true! Good post!
There will be no moe defections.
From Newsweek:
As the call began, McConnell—second in command and a Lott ally—delivered a history lesson. “Leaders who are ousted tend to leave altogether,” he said in his voice-of-doom baritone. “That is what Newt Gingrich did. That is what Jim Wright did. They don’t stick around.” If Lott left, he noted, the Democratic governor of Lott’s home state of Mississippi would name one of his own as a replacement. Republicans relishing the return of perks, power and committee chairmanships could forget it. Instead, they would face the kiss-your-sister chaos of a 50-50 Senate. “I was just explaining the history,” McConnell told NEWSWEEK. Other participants remember the moment differently. “He was raising the idea that Trent would blow himself up,” said one. Lott, for his part, distanced himself from the threat—even as aides still were making it on his behalf. “My term runs through 2006,” he told NEWSWEEK. “I intend to serve it, whatever happens.”The relevant passage, if you missed it: “My term runs through 2006,” he [Lott] told NEWSWEEK. “I intend to serve it, whatever happens.”
In other words, the Lott resignation was a trial balloon floated by Mitch McConnell that has been disavowed by Lott himself.

It has now been shown that the liberal DemonRats cannot win an election fair and square, but they ultimately win in the end.
In New Jersey they switched candidates.
In South Dakota and Louisiana they stole the election and thus two Senate seats by voter fraud and other corruption.
In the Senate itself they gain back control by hypocritically destroying a Senator.
Next, they will threaten other RINOS and "moderates" like Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee and others with the same...unless they switch parties.
Goodbye Republican control. Hello DemonRATic control.
Little Tommy Daschle must be jumping for joy.
The Dems can't get their agena advanced through legislation, so the have their liberal judges advance it from the bench.
They also can't win elections or power fairly, so they do as I described above.
"The Emperor will be pleased my apprentice Darth Daschle"..."Yes my master Darth Klinton"
Republicans are shooting themselves in the head with this strategy.
It's okay for black people to be bigots.
New math?
Jeffords proved that the greatest point of power is threatening to change parties, not really doing it. Jeffords showed that you can't count on the Dems for squat. After all, with the DNC financial problems, layoffs, etc., which Republican senator would like to depend on them for financial support in the next campaign? The more likely scenario would be that the Republican would end up having to supplement the DNC campaign warchest.
Alot of wishin'-and-hopin' on the part of the Dems in this article.
Scenario 1 - your scenario - Lott Resigns, Chafee switches, Dems control - DEMS WIN
Scenario 2 - Lott stays - Dems hammer Republican Racist theme ad nauseum - DEMS WIN
Scenario 3 - Lotts steps down or is removed, Stays in Senate, Don Nickles or Bill Frist becomes Majority Leader - Dems now have "Right-Wing Extremist in the mold of Newt Gingrich" to hammer and howl and scream at and about for 2 years - DEMS WIN.
At least that is WHAT THEY THINK - Now Reality steps in
Scenario 1 - Lott Leaves, in 90 Days Miss has Election and brings in a REAL Conservative Senator -- Doesn't really matter what Chafee does - if 50/50 there will be no sharing and Cheney will have the deciding vote - Conservative judges get confirmed, Bush agenda gets pushed forward, America prospers and the Dems are seen as the Race-baiting chest thumpers they are
Scenario 2 - Lott stays, Conservative judges get confirmed, Bush agenda gets pushed forward, America prospers and the Dems are seen as the Race-baiting chest thumpers they are
Scenario 3 - Frist or Nickles leads the Senate even more to the Conservative side and the Difference between Dems and Reps becomes even more apparent - and Conservative judges get confirmed, Bush agenda gets pushed forward, America prospers and the Dems are seen as the Race-baiting chest thumpers they are
This whole charade is a Demoncrap ploy to do nothing more than keep the Blacks on the Plantation, because the only chance they have in 2004 is to get a Huge Black turnout -- It does not matter whether Lott stays or goes, who controls the Senate etc etc -- Look for the Racial Drums to beat louder and louder over the next 2 years Culminating in a series of 1960's style Race riots in Late Summer 2004, with the biggy being a huge Race riot in Harlem (if the Reps pick NY) or in whatever city they do pick on the EVE of the Republican Convention.
