Last monday I was debating with anyone and everyone who thought Trent Lott should step down as the ML, After a week of seeing Trent Lott abandoning all of the principles he has stood for since becoming a Senator. IMHO there is no shame in condemning "Affirmative Action" and I will debate any CBC member who thinks "Affirmative Action" and the lowering of the bar that it requires, will ever help equal the playing field.

Rewarding moderation is a recipe for failure and any reasonable minded person should agree that lowering the bar by implimenting a policy that requires anyone to ignore the accomplishments of one person because of the skin color of another is a racist policy and it should never be supported. This country MUST continue the practice of rewarding excellence, otherwise, what's the use in being the best? The pay is the same!

another quote from tonight.

a Mississippi Republican, then decried some of the leadership in the South. "There has been immoral leadership in my part of the country for a long time."

Asked by BET anchor Ed Gordon whether he had been a part of that leadership, he said, "Yes, I can't deny that. And I, you know, believe I have changed and I am trying to do a better job.

"But, yes, I am a part of the region and the history that has not always done what it was supposed to have done."
