The Democrats have always said this. They've always said we starve children and put old people out on the street. The public doesn't buy it. They judged Lott based on Lott.

Agreed. Lott has burst the Dems' bubble by resigning. The Dems have no poster boy for their cries of racism now and so the public won't buy it. I think they are caught with their pants down because they didn't think Lott would resing or be overthrown. Pelosi still used the talking points but this won't last long. I watched her presser and the comments on Georgia seemed forced and out of context to me. Let them try to make a national issue out of the Georgia state flag. It just makes their lack of a real policy agenda even more apparent.

Exactly. This Pelosi spiel is a non-issue.

The public doesn't buy it.

The midterm elections proved this to me. The American people, thanks to outlets like Fox News and FR, the internet, etc, people are seeing what the lefts means and stands for. In a post 9-11 world, the American people dont want to discuss socialized health care, or alot tax dollars to more social engineering projects. National Security, the economy, the War on Terror and Iraq are what the People of America are focused on. And the Conservatives, Republicicans, whatever you want to call them, are the best people for the job of fighting terrorism. Can you see Tom Daschle with his pink tie or Gore with his sweatstains on Sept 20 2001? Im referring, of course, to Bushs historic address to the nation after 9/11. The dems can have this minor victory, because like you, I believe the nation is buying what the Dems are selling. Just my opinion.

Totally agree, Granite. When all is said and done, Nancy Pelosi and Rapist Clinton didn't force Lott to make those STUPID, STUPID comments at Strom Thurmonds birthday party.

This is a lesson good mothers have been teaching their children for a long time: be careful of what you say, because you can't take back the bad things you say.

As for that abortionist fake-Catholic b*tch Pelosi (and her nasty race-baiting colleagues), I hope she continues to speak up. I smell another "Wellstone Memorial Moment" moment in the making........ Heeheehee........

I'm not so certain about the political savy of the common American. Not all people are as aware of politics as the posters on these forums.

After hearing the "man on the street" interviews on such programs as Sean Hannity, reading posts at du, I wonder just how much the common American knows about politics in general? Do they really consider the issues or just spout the rhetoric they hear from people they look up to whether they be leaders of the community or other public figures such as film stars, basketball players or musicians?
