Fox News just reported that ABC reported that Nickles has called for a new Senate leadership challenge to Trent Lott!
Do you have any evidence that he has done this?
I don't know.
All I know is, when Bob Dole ran for President, he left his Majority Leader's job, and then the Senate.
When Newt Gingrich left the Speakership, he left the House.
When Bob Livingston revealed his affair, he left the Speakership and left the House.
Republicans, when they step down or lose powerful positions, don't stick around.
I'd be shocked if Lott stayed, especially since he's essentially been branded a racist.
I wouldn't stay, I don't care what the ramifications are.
I'm not going to leave my job over something I'm not.
Don Nickles from my state would make a great majority leader. He is just someone we would need to make sure the Demorats are not able to set or influence goverment policy as some idiot freepers amongest us would like.
The reason the Demorats want Lott gone however, is quite obvious. The Govenor of Missisippi is a Demorat and if Lott is ousted he would naturally appoint a Demorat to the Senate. That would give the Demorats 51 seats and an illegitimate majority.
The voters made it very clear on November 5th they want Republicans to run both houses of Congress. That they did not want the Democrat party to become the source of law in this country anymore. The Demorats know this full well but obviously they don't give a blankety blank what they the people want, they are going to do damn well as they please even if it ends up doing enormous harm to this country.
Sadam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and all the other foreign terrorists would love to see this happen because they know with Democrats in charge, it would shift the focus of surveillence from the FBI away from them and towards pro-lifers, christians and all other critics and adversaries of the Democrat party. These groups the Democrats consider terrorists.
In the meantime, while all that happens, the dictators will continue to imprision and torture all of their adversaries and critics and hire professional rapists to visit their homes and rape their wives and molest their children and I might be so bold to say to I'm sure send kudos to those Bill Clinton butt kissers who are helping them out by misusing and abusing this web site by promoting and condoning the unlawful, unethical and sleazy activities of the Democrat party.
I might close by saying that ad-mons have been doing an excellent job of going after the Bill Clinton butt kissers who've been sign on and posting Demorat party propoganda. I say it's time for all of us as freepers to indentify those Bill Clinton butt kissers amogest us (I've had a dealing with one of those jerks on another matter) and make sure these jerks are not able to set or influence goverment policy.
Regards.
If he goes on BET tomorrow or anytime else it's gonna be to TRY TO TALK HIS WAY OUT OF IT LIKE SOMEONE ELSE WE KNOW. The only way he can redeem himself from this and his "other" moments of stupidity is by action, not by trying to slither out of it like Slicko.
If you take the Commerce Committee Chairmanship away from McCain, he'll leave the party.
Actually these kind of wild and hysterical accusations make it hard to take anything you post very seriously.
Bush and Powell never slammed God and Christians.
That's a ridiculous accusation.
He said it two years later. He didn't say it during the Senate deliberations.
I respect Bill Bennett. I don't agree with him on everything. I don't agree with him here, just as I didn't agree with him on Prop 187, which advocated English only in California schools. (The English-only classes which Prop 187 brought about are working beautifully,BTW.) Nobody's infallible.
Hey, I could be wrong here, but I will not brand another man a racist over comments that were not racist. I'm sick and tired of dancing to the tune of the race pimps and their willing accomplices in the media.
Agreed. With help from his own ineptitude, Lott is now d@mned as a racist with an even more weakened position as Senate majority leader if he stays, and d@mned as a proven prima donna if he leaves.
IMO, he's not getting ousted (the senate elects majority leaders from the sr senator of the majority party not serving in any other position, such as President of the Senate, or pro tempore)
If we start ignoring this mess, the media will stop ranting because no one is listening, and opportunistic politicos will have no platform on which to elevate themselves. He'll stay where he is, leaving the Republican party with an even more weakened majority "leader"...and the Democrats SHOULD be happy...IF as I have stated all along, this isn't a side ploy to get at the president and make him another "one termer" like so many Dems and third partyists are so droolingly hopeful for.
No, but we might get far less than 9% if he stays now. The dims will keep on using this as a weapon for as long as they need it.
