He said what he DIDN'T mean. He never said what he DID mean.


If you think Trent Lott has explained himself to black voters who legitimately deserve an explanation of what he meant (and I don't mean the Sharptons, Jacksons and other race-baiters) who might otherwise vote Republican but for the "appearance" of racism, I would suggest you think again.

Lott said what, on the face of it, is racist. If he meant something else (which he might have), he damned sure hasn't bothered to tell us what he meant.

His answers satisfy you, but by his stupidity, he has not done any reasonable measure of damage control. He is doing damage to the party.

The guy is nothing but trouble for the Republican party. How many more F-UPS does he get? I never ceased to be amazed at Republicans shooting themselves in the foot and being political imbeciles.

I want the albatross to go. Evidently you don't.

Honestly, as long as it doesn't cost us the Senate I don't care one way or the other.

I never was a fan of his anyway. I just hate to give them this after the way Sharpton, Jackass and Gore have been acting.

Yeah, Trent did something stupid and maybe he's not exactly a powerhouse in the Senate. But I know he wasn't endorsing the Jim Crow era with those comments, Gore his prostitute's know it too.

IMO, they are just too devoid of real issues to care.

Also, as someone said last night.. It's kind of a tacit admission that we are embarrassed of Thurmond also. And that bugs me.
