well the buzz on this thread was that cheerleader lott was gay and thats why we did not get a trial in the senate b/c of the blackmail.

Well, lets use the blackmail against him, we 'out' if resigns, unless he does the back bench thing!

Lott's not "gay." For heaven's sake, he's got grandchildren!

Let's just dump on old Trent: he's racist, he's a fag...why not label him a thief; surely he stole something. Maybe he LIED to somebody, sometime, too.

Trent Lott is not my choice for Leader, but destroying a human being is a reprehensible thing.

Why are you surprised that Lott wants to go home to Pascagoula and make a million dollars serving on 5 or 6 Boards of companies which appreciate all he's done for Mississippi?

That's what I'd do, if racist pimps and foaming-at-the-mouth conservatives were branding me a racist. Wouldn't you?

Many gay men are married and have children.

If I didn't know better, I'd think that this was DU. Can these people be GOP members and call our senate majority leader a terrorist, gay and a racist?

This reminds me of the attacks on Bush in the primaries. Maybe Kristol is responsible. I'm surprised no one has accused Lott of drunk driving yet.

I see your pt. on the price of public service and so did mithchell and kissinger.

But a guy can have grandchildren and 'switch hit', especially in the 60s.

I never called Lott racist, b/c he is not. The dems have clearly demagoged this one-- I gotta hand to them.

They will fight to the death for the power and we will always find a way to lose on 'principle'

"Lott's not "gay." For heaven's sake, he's got grandchildren!"

I don't know if he is or isn't, but, either way, this is a *piss poor* defense. Malcolm Forbes had children...

If the Lott did things he is not proud of and wants it to stay out of the headlines, then he's open to extortion/black mail. That would explain some of his actions. I can see why he could be blackmailing us....he knows the game all too well.
