Wow, Nickels needs every last vote now..
If Lott stays, we can all say bye, bye to the newly won GOP Congressional majority come 2004 and maybe the Presidency cause the GOP will be potrayed as a "racist" party with a "racist" leader. What a pity. After the great GOP electoral victory of 2002, we are now looking at paralysis of the conservative agenda in the Senate with a very ineffectual leadership indeed.

Sadly, I have to agree with you until the Iraq war starts.

Face it. Senator Lott never said anything racist. You're crucifying him on what you thought he meant. I'm beginning to respect Senator Lott. He isn't going down easy!
Are there any posters from Mississippi out there? I'm wondering how this is being perceived there.

they won't portray us as a "racist" party, if Lott steps down from Majority Leader?
They didn't portray Bush as a "black" killer in the last presidential election? What about the dragging death of that black, whose daughter said, in a national TV campaign that a vote for bush or a republican was JUST LIKE HER DAD BEING DRAGGED TO HIS DEATH ALL OVER AGAIN... or "every time you vote republican, another black church burns, another brother is killed..." eh?
We won before with their accusations. They have nothing else. Whatever happens to lott, we will be portrayed as racists and that is all the democrats have, because you see, they are NOT IN POWER... and if they keep pushing the race thing, THEY WILL LOSE AGAIN.
AMERICANS are tired of the "poor black people" crap. Especially the BLACK AMERICANS who have discovered the truth. Republicans are the party of Lincoln. Democrats were the pro slavery party. They still are.
Lott will survive.
We will move on.
We don't need their votes.
Black Americans are just .... AMERICANS.
Eventually, they too will stop believing the "republicans hate blacks and want to starve seniors" crap, and vote in their own best interests.
Done right, 18 mos of repubican rule can go a LONG way towards putting truth up against the lie in tangible, believable ways that cannot be ignored.
Dumping TRENT is tantamount to admission of racism, and Lott is NO racist. This is a tempest in a teapot, and will die. Whether Lott stays or goes. And America sees what is being done... they know, this is a put-up JOB by the democrat hacks of the old failed regime... hillary's goon squad.
OLD TACTICS "yawn...."

OUR voters don't care about that "racist" crap. We will lose because with Trent Lott the first honkie in the Black Caucus, the GOP will look the same as the Democrats. And when people see Democrats and Democrat wannabes, they vote the former.
White voters don't want more "affirmative action", they want U. of Michigan's program overturned. White voters don't want reparations. White voters don't want tax cuts and credits to every one who is not white.
Who gives a sh*t about black voters? They will never vote for us anyway. All we need is 65% of the white vote and we win every time.
