People are twisting his understandable statements to push their agendas. The Republicans will regret his ouster on these terms.

Everyone with half a brain knows Lott was praising Stroms Pro States Rights position and dedication to the Constitution.

Segregation never even entered his mind.

This is simply a reprise of the gambit that has been in play for a few years now on the Confederate flag. The intention is to split Northern and Southern Conservatives, and make the future election of a Conservative President absolutely impossible. In the process, they have managed to make a lot of Conservatives dance around like absolute fools, afraid to defend any of their traditions--and if Conservatism is not about tradition, what is it about?

Again, I say to those who are in a panic over a statement that I agree with, that is that it would have been good for America if Strom Thurmond had been elected President, "Get over it. You have nothing to gain by dancing to the Left's tune. Nothing! Six months from now, no one will respect you for it. Nothing of any value can possibly be gained by it. Get over it!"

And see Creating Hate In America Today, to see more evidence of the Left's game plan in this.

If this is true then why didn't Lott have half the brain to explain this was what he was really talking about?

Worse yet, why did he apologize for it, calling it a "terrible" thing to say..that he "regrets" it etc. etc.

What's wrong with "Pro States Rights position and dedication to the Constitution" that Lott should apologize for it, or try to avoid admitting that is what he meant?

I heard Lott offer alternate explanations on Hannity today of what he meant by "all these problems", and none of them included anything you refer to above.
