I'm tired of this crap about Lott. Too many people are twisting his words around and making him out to be a racist white boy.

Bullsh-t. Everybody knows what he was referring to with Thurmond's 1948 campaign, and it wasn't segregation. While I realize that he has to at least soothe some people, if I were him I wouldn't have even apologized for my remarks. I would have explained them instead. If that isn't good enough, then I wouldn't want your vote anyway.

Lott should remain Senate Majority Leader!

Then maybe he should have spelled it out a little better, since everyone knows that the point of Thurmond's Dixiecrat campaign was, in fact, segregation.

Everyone also ought to know that there is simply no point in trying to put a positive spin on the Strom Thurmond of 1948.
