Does Bauer actually believe that Lott was capable of getting permanent tax cuts, Social Security reform, a voucher program and a PBA bill thru the Senate?

Lott was incapable of accomplishing this even before he stepped on his **** at Strom's birthday party.

Inadvertently, the libs have given us one victory -- stronger leadership in the Senate -- and an opportunity for another, even greater one. To dispell this whole evil notion that the GOP is composed of racists.

There is a reason why the Democrats backed off on their attacks and didn't want Lott removed...

There is another lie that TLBSHOW is spreading around. Frist is not against a ban on PBA. He is FOR it. All you have to do is check his voting record. TLBSHOW has been lying about Frist all day. Freepers need to ignore this crap.

This whole thing was an amazing display of lib/rat media power - endless Lott "racist" dialogue with the NY and LA Times,etc, and the lib networks on and on with even the slickmeister coming out from under his rock.

Lott got caught committing thought crime which is doubleplusungood, and had to be made an unperson.

Quite right. Folly is defined as acting consistently against your self interest. The Democrats foolishly (for them) have handed the Republicans a real victory, for Lott's successor will have more spine (could not have less spine) and not cave in so often to the Democrats' whines and demands in the "interest" of collegiality and "getting along".

How Lott handed this past few weeks of "apologizing" speaks volumes on why the Republican Senate has been so tame, so docile, so unimaginative in recent years. Lott just wanted to "get along". He has no real principles to guide him. After these past few weeks, we see Trett Lott clearly - everything is 'all about him'. He will say anything to curry favor - anything to be liked. He announces that the definition of a racist is one who feels superior to another, and then he knocks down the straw dog by saying to the black audience that he does not feel 'superior' to them. Alas, he even goes so far as to insist he is and always will be for affirmative action. Lott tells people what he thinks they want to hear, and only a man without a conscience or principles can do that consistently.

I say, in the coming months and years, we will be thanking the Democrats over and over again for creating an atmosphere in which Trent Lott was forced to resign his position as Majority Leader.

And the Republicans played the Trent Lott implosion well: "You can do anything to me, b'er Fox," said the Tar Baby, "but don't put me into that Briar Patch."

Excellent point. They realized they showed their hand too soon...when it was too late.
This will turn out to be a positive opportunity for the GOP.
