This was an important issue because if we had done it right the word racist coming from the left democrats would not mean a thing anymore. That is why I had to fight as strong as I did because I know what is at stake and when Bush wasn't going to stand up of course it made me even more determinded to fight and as hard as I could.
Wrong. If Senator Lott could have followed up his miserable performance at the birthday party with a few intelligent utterings, he might have saved his sorry butt. But he didn't, he continued to run his mouth and make it much WORSE for the party. It doesn't take the ego of TLB, to understand what was at stake here.
I'm a conservative, I believe in taking responsiblity for yourself, Trent Lott had that power and blew it. And all the bloviating and trying to blame the President or Rove will never change that. I will always scorn people who try to blame others, with things that they themselves have caused.
We are not Democrats! We do NOT rally around someone who is stupid and wrong. It was an important point that was proved in this incidence, that will resonate with the public. And much more important than which democrats are screaming racist. You were in the wrong fight TLB. I guess you didn't realize it?
