There you have it--a simple, two-tiered strategy: Keep Trent Lott in power, then portray the Republicans as the party of Trent Lott, neosegregationist. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

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!

[gaspar]

Missing in this analysis is the fact that most conservatives felt Lott was a loser and so the Democrats did the Republican Party a favor. It also may have made a terrible blunder if Frist shines as majority leader. They may have created the monster that will kill Dr. Hillary Frankenstein in 2008.

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.

We must never forget how vile are the professional liars and race-baiters of the Democratic Party.

[expatpat]

The black vote is critical to the Democrap Party -- they have to get a high turn-out there, and that's what all the race-baiting is about. Unfortunately for them, the blacks are finally becoming smart, and starting to demand real leadership positions in the Party, so the current white leaders are going to either p*ss them off or lose much of their own power.

When Sharpton tries for the Democrap nomination and gets screwed, the Democraps are going to have major problems.

"He just embarrassed them by saying in Washington what they do on the back roads every day."

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.

"Reno warned that federal law contains "special protections for the rights of minority voters and guarantees that they can vote free from acts that intimidate or harass them." She continued: "For example, actions of persons designed to interrupt or intimidate voters at polling places located in minority areas by questioning or challenging them, or by photographing or videotaping them, under the pretext that these are actions to uncover illegal voting may violate federal voting rights law and will not be tolerated."

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.

" "I think there's no question that the African-American community, no doubt about it, is the base of the Democratic party," Gore campaign chairman Bill Daley said on CNN just before the election."

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!

[Once-Ler]

The press will have a hard time convincing middle of the road America that the Rep party is racist after 2 weeks of free media showing Republicans rebuking Lott for a fairly innocuous statement.

It is hard to imagine a better outcome for our party.
It is almost as if it was planned.

[driftless]

The Democratic strategy for helping Blacks has been built on deceit for the past thirty plus years. They've made a devils bargain with race-hustlers and other assorted scoundrels like Jackson and Sharpton to stay in power. No lie is too big or too outrageous for them. But like Hitler said, the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it.
