What the republicans did to Lott was a disgrace!

If it's all about oil, why didn't we just stay in Iraq the first time around. Or, since Kuwait is number 3 on the list for oil reserves, why not take them over? Better yet, Saudi Arabia has the world's largest reserve of oil. If it were really about oil we'd go get it.

I will agree that they ate him like they were cannibals, however, I have no love lost for limp wristed Lott. The RATS used him like a punching bag.

Trent Lott refusing to have a real trial just because the politics of the situation didn't mean much of a chance at a conviction was one of the most despicable abuses of a lack of leadership I have ever seen.

"I've gotten over it, but I'll never forget it."

That sword seems to cut both ways.

The treatment of Trent Lott after his unremarkable remarks at Strom Thurmond's party...so unremarkable in fact that when he said virtually the same thing two years earlier (here) there was apparently not one word of disapproval - not from Dennis Hastert sitting next to Thurmond, not from any of those standing around (including the tall black man in the back row), not from anyone watching the proceedings on C-Span, and certainly not from anyone on FR that I can recall - if the 'pubs could so easily sell out someone whom they themselves had elected MR three terms straight, I shudder to think what they'd do to rank-and-file voters if circumstances were right......

Rangel and his ilk can't stomach our $'s going anywhere but on social program for the minorities.

I thought that I was the only one who did that.

Bumping for those who missed it.
