What the "Republicans" need to do is stop posting endless articles on the subject and venting their purist conservative spleens on Lott.

Shut up and let the President handle it.

Good work. Interesting plan. Well written. There is one problem, and I have a solution for that.

But there sure is a LOTT of truth in the point that Lott is being left to the wolves because of his bungling in impeachment. We are not exactly united on the issue of Lott, and that is why.

On the other hand, it will not be interpreted that way by the left. This is especially true when Lott's college days are looked into.

Problem and Solution: I think it would be interesting if we simply combine a demand that all senators with racial problems all step down from their committee chairs at the same time. That makes the message even more clear. Everyone should be held to the same standard at the same time. Hollings, Clinton, Byrd, and Lott.

Shut up and let the President handle it.

While you are at it, how about closing down the forum for a week and demand that Rush and Hannity pan nonstop to the Bush press conferences? I think Rush and Hannity generally help conservatism, and this plan is very similar to what they are saying.

Why don't you RINOs go crawling & slithering back under your DNC rocks?

[patriciaruth]

Good plan, but I don't think anyone has enough sense to follow it.

What sucks is that none of your articles and comments want to do Lott in because he might have implied segregation was a great idea, but use it as an excuse to get rid of someone you didn't like in the first place.

That's more racist to me than what Lott said, that no one here cares about whether he is a latent racist, only whether he's not aggressively conservative enough.

It's sickening.

[patriciaruth]

Yeah, I'm a RINO because I am not for killing gays.

In all other respects we probably agree.

[RaceBannon]

Outstanding find, we need to compile all this and e-mail it to all our friends.

[Republican_Strategist]

What bothers me is that Lott was saying anything racist really and clearly from what everyone can view and hear for themselves….he was trying to flatter an old man on his birthday. Of course Lott was just idiotically remarking about something without making any racial suggestions, but of course the Waffen PC has to come at him with everything they’ve got. What sickens me is you spineless republican that throw yourselves at the mercy of the Left.

Then when it comes to the examples of Democrats and the various double standards…you said nothing about it because the Waffen PC isn’t going to go after a Democrat. You just keep letting them lead you by the nose.

[patriciaruth]

Nutz. You're the spineless one who wants to throw Lott to the wolves.

[Republican_Strategist]

No, you are a RINO exactly because you would imply that having moral outrage over such depravity as say, homosexuality, can be misconstrued and turned into a campaign to kill them. It is exactly that type of intellectual dishonesty and paranoia that makes you a liberal. The saddest thing is you call yourself a conservative.

[Republican_Strategist]

No, I want to get rid of the idiot who said he was going to be “nice” to Tom Daschole. You are the guy that wants to let the Black Caucus lynch the guy for stupid gaffe at an old man’s birthday party.

These are well reasoned, excellent points. I agree wholeheartedly with almost all of them. the problem is that we have to deal with this furor in 1-4 minute soundbites. The public sees and hears: Lott-Racist-Republican and short circuits nuanced, political and historical facts. The bloody dilemma is that the pavlovian democrats are blatantly manipulating pc-primed, media driven emotional reflexes.

[patriciaruth]

I posted this yesterday on several threads.

Agree that Trent Lott in his Southern hospitality mode of exaggerated praise at a hundred year old birthday party said some thoughtless things falsely implying support for segregation when he probably had national defense in mind.

But as long as we're into bashing people for thoughtless remarks, let's go for some humdingers.

Can anyone remember Jesse Jackson saying "hymietown" or Hillary Clinton saying "Jew b*****d" or Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (D-CA) saying "n****r labor organization?"

And none of them said it at a hundred year old birthday party.

[Republican_Strategist]

That was an excellent summation!

[patriciaruth]

The bloody dilemma is that the pavlovian democrats are blatantly manipulating pc-primed, media driven emotional reflexes.

No, the bloody dilemma is that conservatives who don't like Lott for other reasons are giving this story legs by calling for his removal and implying they believe he is racist, while actually simply believing he is not aggressively conservative enough for them.

The media is eating you guys up.

[Republican_Strategist]

Can you help me understand something. I’m not against going back and looking at stupid comments like Hillary calling one of her own aides a “F**king Jew Bastard.” This is exactly the sort of double standard I am encouraging us republicans to raise. So do me a favor and quit pretending I’m the enemy for weighing in on this.

I’m also going to take a stand and say that I doubt the President would embrace my plan and I don’t trust him to handle it. After all, he did let Ted Kennedy write his Education Bill.

[patriciaruth]

I have never called myself a conservative. I am a Republican and maybe the only one on this thread. I believe that to be a conservative you have to be in favor of stoning gays and shooting Mexican men and women at the border, and I am a Christian and thus don't qualify.

[patriciaruth]

After about fifty or more articles posted in the last couple days by "Republican (HA!) strategists" such as yourself, I'd say you are piling on Lott for your own selfish reasons and don't give a hoot about the President.
