"Do you not count it as offensive when absolutely no African-Americans at all vote for any Republicans in vast areas of the country?"

I'm not being rude but [even if that were true] that has nothing to do with this subject. Lott's actions are Lott's actions.

"Look, everybody has known since time began, if you want respect, you have to earn it, and when it comes to politicians and voters, politicians respect voters. People who don't vote for them don't necessarily get respect."

So what?

"Personally I don't care what African-Americans think about a guy they don't vote for - he already knows what they think."

Something else that doesnt have anything to do with this. Your judgement seems to be clouded by some sort of bitterness.

Some of you guys cant help but get bogged down in the "personal" side of this. Lose that. Look at this mathmatically. 1+1=2. Lott remaining as a leader equals the media and the Liberals continueing to have a toe-hold in accusing Conservatives of having an inherent slant against minorities.

Whether it is true or not is of little consequence in politics. It is the perception that now has one more ember to burn.

Lott has to go. He either goes now...or he will go later and so will other Conservatives simply because of their association with him.

Some of you guys are willing to win a battle and lose the War. Lott put his own foot in his own mouth. The media didnt say it. Jesse Jackson didnt say it. Lott said it...

...this is the outcome of it.

I am most concerned with the Democratic party's bias against Asian-Americans. You chop Hawaii out of the picture (where the Japanese-Americans unaccountably worship at the font of Democrat nonsense), and you will find that throughout the country, Asian-Americans have been frozen out of the Democratic party machinery.

This "feezing" is done mostly by African-American party operatives. More than one of my friends and associates (from Hawaii) have tried to enter into local Democratic party politics only to be discouraged by the treatment they received by the African-Americans, and, of course, their "White Liberal Guilt" driven running dog lackies.

So, whachyoutalkin'bout boy?

Lott remaining as a leader equals the media and the Liberals continueing to have a toe-hold in accusing Conservatives of having an inherent slant against minorities.

That's bullsh!t, because the media and the liberals will continue to accuse conservatives of having an inherent slant against minorities no matter what Lott or any Republican does.

George W. Bush allowed Colin Powell to have a prominent speaking role at the Republican convention in 2000. That move really paid off when Bush got 9% of the black vote. Particularly pathetic when you consider that he probably would have gotten 5% of the black vote even if a KKK grand wizard had addressed the GOP convention.

It's time for the Republicans to simply ignore irrelevant voters and stop giving a damn about what their "representatives" think. Nobody in Maxine Waters' district would ever cast a vote for Trent Lott even if he were the last candidate on the planet, so who gives a sh!t what they say about him.

And anyone who cast a vote in the U.S. Senate in favor of acquitting Bill Clinton in 1998 should be treated as a useless, unprincipled @sshole. In public. On talk radio shows, television interviews, etc.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hume, but Senator Daschle's opinion on this matter means absolutely nothing to me because he has already shown that he has no standards anyway."
