Say what you want about LBJ. He may have been the most evil man since Hitler, but he had vision.

Does Lott have vision? He's politically blind. Its 40 years later and Pubs are still lucky to get 5% of the black vote.

And the amazing thing is that Black people as a whole have a lot more in common with the republican agenda than they do with the democratic agenda. Its just that blacks don't trust Republicans. And with statements like Lott made in addition to his segregationist past and his lame apology, its no wonder.

You have to be kidding.

And it's not just black support that the GOP will lose if they stick with Lott. Independents/moderates/moral conservatives are not gonna like voting for a party with such a dunderhead at the highest levels.

Not to mention their extremely up-front take on population control and reduction -- at home and abroad -- as buried in their U.S. national defense policy documents and the Congressional Record.

I think it pays to remember that back when Gore, Kennedy, et al. were anti-abortion, it was primarily (if not soley) in recognition of abortion as a means to target Unwanted factions of society ... much less clearcut the undesirables who were overcrowding our access to minerals and other natural resources in Africa and Latin America.

Once the Stupid Party (the Democrats who, unlike the Evil Party never actually made abortion a National Policy) swallowed abortion as the zenith of freedom ... true hope and liberation being the ability of a mother, race or people to Off Their Own ... the Dems were in the clear to make abortion their rallying call.

And render votes perfectly predictable from there on out in the process.

That is, until the GOP came out of the closet with their ratification of Roe and passage of the Schumer Amendment among the sound and fury that was their Chinese Fire Drill bits of Parental Consent legislation to keep the troops busy and "winning" properly-defined Square Ones nationwide.

Vision-in this case it ain't everything. His vision was keeping black people dependent on a party for their needs to be met instead of themselves.

Vision-to trust black people to always be afraid of their God given ability to be entrepreneurs and to trust themselves to create wealth.

I'm not taking anything away from LBJ, his record speaks for itself. To judge Lott over these statements as having no vision, difficult to agree. Things could have worked out totally different if Clinton was removed and Gore was seated in his place. That took some consideration.

I agree that there is so much in common with the republican agenda. "My people perish for a lack of knowledge" education is the key. Where should we begin with that education, can't be in the leftist schools. I suppose prayer that those who have believed a lie will have their eyes opened to know the truth.
