One little problem. If Lott leaves, the Senate is 50-49-1, not 50-50. The Pubs still have a majority. If there is a jumper to independent the Senate is then tied, 49-49-2, with Cheney being the tie breaker. The Dimplecrats better play nice now cause it looks like the Pubs will pick up three or four seats in 2004. The minority leaders office might just end up in the basement next to the boiler room.

"Feel the power of the Dark Side of the Force"

It has now been shown that the liberal DemonRats cannot win an election fair and square, but they ultimately win in the end.

In New Jersey they switched candidates.
In South Dakota and Louisiana they stole the election and thus two Senate seats by voter fraud and other corruption.
In the Senate itself they gain back control by hypocritically destroying a Senator.

Next, they will threaten other RINOS and "moderates" like Olympia Snowe, Arlen Specter, Lincoln Chafee and others with the same...unless they switch parties.

Goodbye Republican control. Hello DemonRATic control.
Little Tommy Daschle must be jumping for joy.

The Dems can't get their agena advanced through legislation, so the have their liberal judges advance it from the bench.
They also can't win elections or power fairly, so they do as I described above.

"The Emperor will be pleased my apprentice Darth Daschle"..."Yes my master Darth Klinton"

The term of the Dem Gov of MS is up in one year. Haley Barbour is going to run against him and is predicted the likely winner. If Lott will hold on one year (which he might do as a personal favor to Haley if nothing else), then Barbour can go ahead an appoint a Republican replacement.

Jeffords proved that the greatest point of power is threatening to change parties, not really doing it. Jeffords showed that you can't count on the Dems for squat. After all, with the DNC financial problems, layoffs, etc., which Republican senator would like to depend on them for financial support in the next campaign? The more likely scenario would be that the Republican would end up having to supplement the DNC campaign warchest.

Alot of wishin'-and-hopin' on the part of the Dems in this article.

The Demoncraps have put themselves in a WIN WIN WIN situation with this fiasco - or so they think

Scenario 1 - your scenario - Lott Resigns, Chafee switches, Dems control - DEMS WIN

Scenario 2 - Lott stays - Dems hammer Republican Racist theme ad nauseum - DEMS WIN

Scenario 3 - Lotts steps down or is removed, Stays in Senate, Don Nickles or Bill Frist becomes Majority Leader - Dems now have "Right-Wing Extremist in the mold of Newt Gingrich" to hammer and howl and scream at and about for 2 years - DEMS WIN.

At least that is WHAT THEY THINK - Now Reality steps in

Scenario 1 - Lott Leaves, in 90 Days Miss has Election and brings in a REAL Conservative Senator -- Doesn't really matter what Chafee does - if 50/50 there will be no sharing and Cheney will have the deciding vote - Conservative judges get confirmed, Bush agenda gets pushed forward, America prospers and the Dems are seen as the Race-baiting chest thumpers they are

Scenario 2 - Lott stays, Conservative judges get confirmed, Bush agenda gets pushed forward, America prospers and the Dems are seen as the Race-baiting chest thumpers they are

Scenario 3 - Frist or Nickles leads the Senate even more to the Conservative side and the Difference between Dems and Reps becomes even more apparent - and Conservative judges get confirmed, Bush agenda gets pushed forward, America prospers and the Dems are seen as the Race-baiting chest thumpers they are

This whole charade is a Demoncrap ploy to do nothing more than keep the Blacks on the Plantation, because the only chance they have in 2004 is to get a Huge Black turnout -- It does not matter whether Lott stays or goes, who controls the Senate etc etc -- Look for the Racial Drums to beat louder and louder over the next 2 years Culminating in a series of 1960's style Race riots in Late Summer 2004, with the biggy being a huge Race riot in Harlem (if the Reps pick NY) or in whatever city they do pick on the EVE of the Republican Convention. You heard it here first

Senator Lott has made it known, that if he were to step down from the Senate Leadership position that he would leave the Senate.

Then Lott is a scumbag, isn't he? No better than Jeffords.

Senator Lott has made it known, that if he were to step down from the Senate Leadership position that he would leave the Senate. This is public knowledge. This would then force the current Governor of Mississippi; a democrat, to replace the Senator. He has also made it public that he would choose a Democrat…and a very liberal one at that.

Lott should step down as Majority leader *and* remain as a Senator. If he is a loyal conservative and Republican he would do that and puncture the Democrat plan.

Remember, the Dems wouldnt have this opening if Lott didnt put his foot in his mouth.

As I said after the Nov. 5, 2002 elections, Trent Lott would find any way possible to hand the Senate back to the Democrats. And I was sort of kidding!!

His "off the cuff" remarks at Strom Thrumond's party were on a card and you can see him looking at his notes.

Lott wins again! He's a hidden Democratic operative planted to keep the GOP out of power.

I fully believe that if Lott isn't able to hand the Senate back to Daschle, he'll hijack a plane and crash into the next Senate Republican Caucus meeting!

It would almost be worth 2 more years of gridlock in the Senate, proving to the country that Democrats can't be trusted yet again, and win more Senate seats in 2004 if it gets rid of Trent Lott.

Go ahead Lincoln Chaffee, switch after Lott resigns. And you're pitiful grab for meaningless and temporary power will push you into the same ash heap of history as the NJ Democrats and Jim Jeffords. One hundred years from now the bridges with your name on them will crumble to dust.

Thanks a LOTT, Trent - For Nothing!

What a great plan them Dems had. But wait, how did they get Lott to utter those words at Thurmond's birthday party? In order for us to go along with this grand scheme of theirs, you first have to believe they coerced Lott into being stupid enough to say the things they could then use against him. Kinda hard to believe when he's said THE SAME THINGS in the past! And it hasn't been the Dems squawking, it's been his own party and for good reason. HE'S AN IDIOT WHO SHOULD SHUT HIS BIG, FAT, STUPID MOUTH ALREADY!!

Why would anyone want him as the spokesperson for the party? Even before he took the gaspipe, he was an ineffective leader who bent over backwards to make nice with the Dems when the Senate was split 50-50. Does anyone remember his role during impeachment? How he left to House Republicans out to dry? My God, let's get rid of him!
