As a Hispanic I can say that Lott did more for the Hispanics of America than any racist democrat. If the Dems believe they will get any traction from this controversy, they are wrong. Fact is I will become more directed to call democrats racist and that anyone who agrees with their policies is a poverty pimp that hates Hispanics. Weak tactics from the left will harden the substantive position on the Right, we should rejoice.
Well said, my friend. Throwing trash is all the Democrats know how to do. This too will pass (although I dislike Trent Lott for many other reasons than this particular gaff)...
BTW, my son is currently with the Ca. Conservation Corps, Sequoia Division, headquartered at Porterville.
