"Talk about selling your soul to save your sorry butt.

He's either lying NOW or he's been lying ALL ALONG.

If the GOP is going to be about affirmative action (not to mention saving this piece of crap), I'm out of it."

This is what I've been saying all along. Lott in leadership is detrimental. Now, he did it and continues to do it. BUT, it *IS* better now to clear the underbrush, too late for my taste, but better do it now before the Lott can do this to us YET AGAIN.

I understand the reason why you have no time for any kind of compromise, But in the real world of politics compromise is the only way anything gets done. To think that any Republican can step in as the ML and never compromise is a sign that you have absolutely no idea how Washington D.C. operates.

For this president to get most of his agenda passed in his first two years in office is a minor miracle when you consider what this country has been through. Trent Lott deserves his share of the credit for this success. Sure we can all belly ache over a few of the compromises that did not go our way, But the overall success in these last 2 years is nothing short of incredible. We have seen our majority in the Senate stolen away and the constant drumbeat that George W. Bush stole the 2000 election and yet in no time at all the tables have turned in our favor, and we now have the majority in all three branches of the Government. A major accomplishment IMHO

For you to start painting anyone who compromises in Congress as a RINO is rediculous. I agree that Trent Lott has to go, But it's not because of his performance as the ML, but for the way he has handled himself after he made his remarks at Thurmonds B-Day Party. I've listened to all of you "My way or nothing" types for too long and you usually vote for candidates that couldn't garner any more votes than Ralph Nader
