Assuming you both don't think he is a racist (like I said, if you honestly do, your opinion. No argument.) how would you feel about risking the majority we have been lusting after for so long?

I mean, we have been effectively locked out and praying for the power to do some of these good things all of us have been bitching about for years.

And what about the potential of this tainting the SC?

If confirmations go south we are going to be screwed, literally for decades.

Are you really sure want to go for broke here? Knowing what might be at stake...

Trent is risking that by his blackmail. Trent is to blame for what he said. Trent is to blame if he pusses out and quits the senate if he has to step down as leader.

Trent. Trent. Trent. Lay the blame where it is deserving.

Trent is the self-serving prick here.

Jhoffa_, I would like to take this opportuntiy to nominate you as the supreme FR diplomat. Seriously, you're posts have been pretty consistent and consistently pretty fair to what you espouse.

On the topic at hand, I have 3 dilemmas: 1)The Lott in charge means we don't have majority type power anyway, 2)He's now totally compromised as his white guilt is showing and getting worse, 3)I'm beginning to wonder about him myself.

He has, in my mind, been a man of week character and fleeting integrity, and in my experience, people of this type could easily have other issues and have been masking other 'beliefs'.

I did not know or care to know that a)Trent is proud that MS voted for Thurmond in 1948, b)Dixiecrats had one issue; race, c)The Lott wishes the Dixicrats had won, thinking we'd all be better off, d)The Lott's political *MENTOR*, ala Fulbright for xxxlinton, was the 1948 Dixiecrat VP candidate, e)The Lott can be tied to the CCC.

The next revelation will be so damaging to anyone that supports him now that we are way, way beyond the point of diminishing return in this excercise and in the political life of the Lott.
