This is hilarious! So we kick LOTT out and we still are the party of neosegregationist. Have you folks been watching your Liberal friends on TV lately! Gees!
What does it take to wake republicans up. This is only starting!
I honestly don't think the Democrats wanted Lott to stay as ML. The proof of their power and control was that they were able to make such a fuss that Republicans tossed him over. They were going to portray Republicans as the party of segregationists whether Lott stayed or went.
Democrats Lick Their Chops - December 19, 2002
Ladies and gentlemen, I offer the following AP story to prove my point that this isn't about Trent Lott anymore and hasn't been for the longest time, and to answer the question, "If Lott goes that ends it, doesn't it?" No, because it's not about Lott.
As evidence, I present this Associated Press story by Jesse Holland, headlined in the Chicago Sun-Times: "Democrats Lick Chops, Eye Civil Rights Agenda." Have you ever watched your dog or cat lick their chops after eating? I have two cats that do it all the time, cute little things. Can you just see Tom Daschle licking his chops? This is a phrase we use all the time, but try visualize Fritz Hollings licking his chops. Read the opening of this story:
"Whether Trent Lott stays or goes, Democrats and black groups see his apparent nostalgia for a segregated past as a golden opportunity to revive a hate crimes bill, push a minimum wage increase and force the White House to tilt new tax cuts toward minorities and the poor.
They predict the sudden Republican sensitivity to racial issues will continue whether or not Lott stays on as GOP Senate leader in the next Congress, when the party controls both houses."
This stuff like "sudden Republican sensitivity to racial issues" has to be dealt with or it will continue to be cemented in stone. Let me tell you who's not sensitive to racial progress, and that's the Democrats. The Democrats need their voters dumb, stupid, uneducated, and mildly hungry. They need as many of them in that state as possible because that's how you define need and inability. The worst thing in the world for a liberal Democrat politician is a self-starter, somebody with confidence, somebody who doesn't need somebody else for his needs, somebody who doesn't look to Washington for the answer to every problem, somebody who doesn't want to be a member of a group.
Look at who's keeping racial hatred burning in this country. It's not Trent Lott. It's people like Democrats who force busing in Boston on people who don't want it, blacks, as well as whites. It is Democrats standing figuratively in the schoolhouse door, preventing poor blacks from getting into decent schools. Affirmative action is another example it's gone way beyond its original intentions and become an insult and reverse discrimination.
It's time for this battle on race to be joined by our side, folks. It can no longer be avoided. The Democrats see an episode like this Lott situation as another way to divide the nation and paint all conservatives as racists. We can't let them do it.
Hardly.
Race, and division of society into specific (interest) groups for control, has been at the bottom of Democrat strategy since the thirties and it will continue to be there into the next thirties.
Point of the article seems to be that Lott's idiotic comments gave us a chance to dump someone that most wanted out anyway - and a sign that his alleged underlying racism was not to be tolerated on the right.
That MIGHT be a good thing, it SHOULD be a good thing, but it won't hinder the left from continuing on it's hateful little way.
Oh, I think they wanted him to stay. It started with John Lewis "forgiving" Lott. Then Carville chimed in that he was so moved by John Lewis' statement that he "forgave" Lott as well. Carville said we must have tolerance for the shortcomings of others and hope they could redeem themselves. As this article states, the Dems were going to use the Lott issue as a wedge to drive the political agenda to the left and paint the Republican party as racist at the same time.
While it is true the 'Rats won't stop now, it would have been so much easier with Lott as the face of the party at every press briefing. Now, Lott is perceived by many people as having acted in the best interest of the country by stepping down, while the 'Rats continue to pile on for political gain. With Frist as the new leader, the 'Rats will appear as even more transparent and desperate. Where was Hillary when "racist Republican" Bill Frist was in Africa helping bring medical care to those without?
When Sharpton tries for the Democrap nomination and gets screwed, the Democraps are going to have major problems.
GOD! That man is SUCH a liar! And just what the h*ll would HE know about what America stands for. I guess it depends on what the meaning of "stands" is.
The only thing the democRATS are trying to prevent is the thwarting of their sleazy fraudulent voting campaigns.
Why is it that the democRATS fight every attempt to uncover voter fraud that would restore integrity to the election process? Short answer, because they would LOSE much more frequently and they don't like to lose.
Translation: If blacks get better educated, wise up and start thinking for themselves and taking responsibility for themselves instead of being the perpetual victims, we're screwed!
And it will continue as long as republicans continue to play to it and kiss their butts. It needs to be ignored, other than an occasional statement aimed at revealing the RATS for the mean-spirited, racebaiting hatemongers that they are. Beyond that we should just be focusing on relevant issues leaving them to stew in their own juices.
What a dream come true that would be...the orc queen falls due to the relentless conspiracy of truth launched by the republicans. Nearly perfect!
"Vile" doesn't even begin to cover it. I couldn't believe the bold-faced lie in Hillary CLINTON's statement about the republicans exploiting race! That statement alone shows how truly stupid they believe their black constituents to be. If it wasn't for exploitation of blacks, the Rats wouldn't have a party, and they know it. God help them when blacks wake up and realize that not only have they been lied to and played for fools by the Rats, but also that they are being called morons with every hypocritical statement made by a prominenet RAT in "their interests".
Well said--you've NAILED it!
IMO we are seeing the Clintons careening from mistake to mistake and making their position a little worse as they go. Remember they got caught refusing money to Carl McCall in order to funnel it to Florida in a horribly failed attempt at pure Clintonian revenge.
Most of us wondered at the time if black voters would hold them accountable. Hillary MUST have, not just the black vote, but a HUGE black vote turnout for her in '04 if she goes for it, '06 for re-election, and/or '08. What's a girl to do?
She HAD to distract black voters from their dawning realization about the nature of their exact value to the Clintons. Not just Rats--specifically the Clintons. Unfortunately for the Rats, the Clintons are still writing the scripts for the whole Rat party.
Unfortunately for the Clintons, they can't control their scriptreaders--at least not all the time. This really blew up in their faces and they're scrambling to pick any little scrap of success from the ashes. Hahahahahaha.
