Kewel. Love that area. Have friends over in Buena Vista and love it there too. Maybe I'll see you sometime down there.
To: Physicist
That question should be directed at Trent Lott. He's the only one who can turn that seat over to the Dems. If he is too racist to be Majority Leader, how can he be a Senator?

his words were loaded by any historical interpretationCorrection: You mean "I ASSUME his words were loaded by any historical interpretation". In reality, you don't know and you believe Jesse Jackson over Trent Lott.

SmokingGun.com is a very reputable site. They pony up the money to get original documents and photos that are part of the public record. They then scan the documents.

So Lott was lying because you can't find something? Sorry.. I can't find something that does not exist. Lott and his defenders have yet to come up with anything from Thurmond on defense in 1948, either.
That tells a thinking person all they need to know. Lott was lying.

If Lott is lying, you should have no trouble proving that. Please do so.

To: TennesseeProfessor
Trent Lott has publicly said:
As majority leader, I can move an agenda that would have things that would be helpful to African-Americans and minorities of all kinds and all Americans, but specifically aimed at showing African-Americans that they have particular concerns and needs that we have to advance an agenda that will help rural and ...
I don't want a Republican leader pursuing that agenda. I want a Republican leader pursuing the President's agenda of tax cuts and sound judges. Even worse, Trent Lott made it much harder for those of us with pricipled stands against minority set-asides or reverse discrimination to explain that we aren't racists.
Thank you. And now, the vacuous one is giving us that opportunity! Hallelujah! What's that on the horizon? Hope? Yes, yes indeed...

If Byrd had publicly said what Lott said and you were aware of it, would you complain that Byrd make a racist comment and that the dems and the media gave him a pass on it? Be honest.

You mean "I ASSUME his words were loaded by any historical interpretation". No assumption necessary, Hank. You don't have to figure out what Lott meant or what his motive was, you can read his words at face value, look up the underlying facts, and connect the dots. You're not even willing to pick up the pencil.
In reality, you don't know and you believe Jesse Jackson over Trent Lott.
Still trying that lame approach. Once again, a tremendous number of conservatives agree with my position. How many agree with yours, that Lott's comments are not racially loaded? Oh, and BTW, Trent Lott is agreeing with the position of Jesse Jackson now, last I checked.

"When this whole thing shakes out, the Democrats will get the Senate"
BS. Appy, you've said all along that it's Lott's words that count, as he says them. Well, try these on:
GOP officials are concerned that removing Lott from his leadership position might prompt his resignation from the Senate, which would throw the Senate back into a 50-50 split if Mississippi's Democratic governor picks a member of his own party to serve on an interim basis.
But Lott insisted Wednesday that he would not give up his Senate seat. "I was elected by the people of Mississippi to a six-year term," he told reporters. "I've served two years of that contract. I have a contract and I'm going to fulfill it."
How do you read those?

Byrd has already made overt racist comments and is allowed to keep his seat. That standard should exist for everyone if it exists for one. We can't have the Democrats saying "It's OK for us but not you".
To: dirtboy
Whatever Lott's motive was (I lean towards imbecility) Agreed. And that's largely been his "motive" with all his varied stabs at damage control, too. The total ineptness of this man is astounding, IMO. How in the world did he ever get to be Leader in the first place?
