Trent Lott - “We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples”
Y'all Politics ^ | July 19, 2010 | Allen Lang

Posted on 07/20/2010 5:21:35 AM PDT by Islander7

Former Senate majority leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), now a D.C. lobbyist, warned that a robust bloc of rabble-rousers spells further Senate dysfunction. "We don't need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples," Lott said in an interview. "As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them."

But Lott said he's not expecting a tea-party sweep. "I still have faith in the visceral judgment of the American people," he said.

He’s a lobbyist now, not a Senator.

Why anyone has any faith in the GOP to make things right is way beyond me!!!

You have to be dysfunctional to vote for any incumbent...

Why in the world would Trent Lott ever be loyal to a party that threw him under the bus. I don’t agree with what he says, but I understand it.

Lott's a sissy sans scruples.
I hope he isn't surprised when his name never ends up on the guest list to a function at the Palin White House.

Trent Lott just pointed out what is wrong with the US Senate. The US Senate is a good ole boys club set up to take care of a few elite individuals....the heck with the ordinary citizen.

Oh, so the D.C. lobbyist is going to tell the rest of us how to vote?

Go away, little boy, and let the adults fix the problems in OUR Senate.

How did Trent Lott ever get to be Senate Majority leader? They picked one loser after another. This really is the RINO big government wing of the party.

Trent Lott looked and talked like J.R. Ewing of 'Dallas' fame, but never had the J.R. killer instinct.

Trent folded up like a cheap suit when the 'Rats started beating him over the head with Strom Thurmond.

Iow, he was just one more RINO-loser.

By the way, Lott just became a multi millionaire, as his own little whorehouse lobby firm was just bought out by the largest and most profitable lobby house in D. C.

Wonderful news! Now Trent can afford to go pay a visit
to Mr. Ray's Hair Weave and upgrade from that awful
toupee he's been wearing since Nixon was in office.

Trent's pals Jesse and Al would no doubt approve.

[snip]
McCain's desperation came through the clearest towards the end of the debate, when he referred to JD as a pig. "One should never get in a wrestling match with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it." There were audible gasps of surprise from the audience.

Some thought the remark was also a backhanded slap at Sarah Palin, who is rumored to have refused to campaign for McCain a second time this year. Palin was called a pig by Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign. She refused to return McCain's phone calls when he first tried to get her to campaign for him earlier this year against JD. They had not spoken in over a year, since the 2008 presidential campaign ended. In their last appearance together, she was prohibited from giving a concession speech. She wrote a book, Going Rogue, about the difficulties working with the McCain campaign. The title referred to the derogatory label McCain staffers gave her when she would speak to the media without their permission. When Palin finally agreed to campaign for McCain earlier this year, it was widely speculated that she did so unwillingly. Noticeably, she did not tweet about her two appearances in Arizona for McCain, although she tweeted about her appearance at Tea Party Express rally against Harry Reid in his hometown of Searchlight, Nevada, taking place at the same time.

LOL! I remember those ads! Years ago, I think Mr. Ray also did some TV spots on channel 20 after midnight, on weekends. Is his business still around, I wonder?

Does the Constitution say anything about controlling lobbyists pay?

If pay was low most of these scum would return home,right?

Yeah, she was dragged kicking and screaming to tell the people of Arizona that McCain was the best candidate for the job. If so, that doesn't say much about her convictions then does it? And any speculation is an attempt to explain her endorsement of McCain away.

And Fiorina and Ayotte? Did she endorse them unwillingly, too?

“...We don’t need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples,” Lott said in an interview...”

No, Mr. Trent Lott, what we really don’t need is a spineless collaborationist POS like YOU who makes the 1940s French look like the model of Manhood and courage. Pull your frilly pink panties out of the wad in your RINO *ss and go away. Go find some Democrats to apologize to, put a liplock on their love pork chop, and try to remember what it was like waaaay back when you had your last manly thought, before you became a sock puppet.

You can go away quietly, fade out of sight and live off your millions. We will be fine without you and your kind, and we WILL forget that we ever called you and the other POS like you our countryman.

You and the rest of your RINO friends are irrelevant and we WILL vote your worthless *ss into the dustbin of political history.

Was that harsh? Was that mean? Do I care?
