NOW President Says Potential Lott Replacement No Improvement

December 20, 2002

"Trent Lott made the right decision to step down as Senate Majority Leader," said National Organization for Women (NOW) President Kim Gandy. "But if he thinks that stepping down will save his party more embarrassment, he couldn't be more wrong—especially if his successor is Bill Frist." Sen. Frist (R-Tenn.) is currently the front-runner to replace Lott and has garnered widespread support from conservatives who have always considered Lott too moderate.

"Few senators have a worse voting record on civil rights than Trent Lott—but Bill Frist is one of them," Gandy noted. "Frist has voted against sex education, international family planning, emergency contraception (the morning-after pill), affirmative action, hate crimes legislation and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. This is the man who is supposed to save face for the GOP in the Senate? Think again."

"The Republican Party is making a huge mistake if they are assuming that reluctant apologies and a different face will camouflage their record of undermining civil rights," Gandy said.

"Karl Rove, credited by insiders with engineering the exchange of Lott for Frist, will be the de facto Senate leader—and the idea of the U.S. Senate being run from the White House ought to give every Senator pause," Gandy said.

If NAG opposes him that is a pretty good recomendation.

Or, is this what they want us to think?

The Left is so duplicitous, anything they say cannot be trusted - - even their lies...

[wingnuts'nbolts]

NOW is GONE. They have no more credibility. They are ghosts from the 70's and history.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Until I was undecided. NOW, I think he'll do just fine. Thanks, NOW!

Trouble is, the Left is so duplicitous you can't even trust their lies.

They would have said the same thing if the Republicans picked Jim Jeffords as majority leader.

They will do anything to maintain their societal practice of abortion, their ritual mass murder upon the altars dedicated to idolatrous vanities, their collective human sacrifice to pagan idols...

[wingnuts'nbolts]

You noticed the similarity in Hillary's diatribe and Ms.Gandy's too. As Hillary said, say it often enough and loud enough and it becomes truth.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

I've seen the left do some interesting things before. If they like someone, they sometimes damn them right out of the shoot, to induce the right to support the person even more. That may not be the case here.

True. I still don't trust anything they say, even their lies. They would have done the same thing if Republicans accepted Jim Arnold, er..., Jeffords, yea, that's it, Jeffords.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Correction. The societal practice of abortion is ritual mass murder upon the altars dedicated to idolatrous vanities, a collective human sacrifice to pagan idols...

"Trouble is, the Left is so duplicitous you can't even trust their lies."

I hope you are giving them more credit for tactics than they deserve. But you are right in not underestimating them.

Do the other three NOW members concur?

[GailA]

National Right to Life gives him a 100% voting record. ACU gives him a 100% for last year and a 88 for a lifetime record.

[DoughtyOne]

I don't trust them either.

[doug from upland]

After supporting a rapist in office, I suspect that NOW is pretty much irrelevant.

[moyden]

Let them cling desparately to Lott. The Bush juggernaut will roll on.

[joesnuffy]

Gandy is just saying that to make me like him....

The first thing that needs to happen is that the tax-exempt status of this partisan RAT organization needs to be removed.

Some people think: "Yeah, George W. Bush is pretty conservative. But he hasn't done any real damage." Think again. The Supreme Court decision in Bush v. Gore appointed George W. Bush to the presidency of the United States on Dec. 12, 2000, and he was sworn in as the 43rd president on Jan. 20, 2001. Since then, the United States has taken a significant turn for the worse. Do you know how the actions of the Bush administration are affecting your rights? This website is where you can come to get the whole picture of the Bush juggernaut and find out what happened to the "compassionate conservatism," "bipartisanship" and "fairness" he promised when he wanted your vote. Find out what he's done—and what his cronies are advocating—on the issues you care most about. And come to this website to take action on those issues. Read all about it, then go to our Action Kit to sign up for "The Truth About George" updates and action alerts. Tell the media what you think, talk back to the Bush administration and get ideas for local actions you can do with others or as an individual. Check back often, and feel free to share information you think should be on this site.

amen to that I have been ranting about that for years

[mathluv]

We need to say more, and say it more often.

[ShuShu]

My only problem with Frist is, I believe it was in 2000 he was determined to be the BIGGEST Republican SPENDER. He was way up there with the big spending Democrats as was Ted Stevens in 2001. I'm a big time Fiscal Conservative so if this is true it would not sit well with me. The Club for Growth is right to take on Big Spending Republicans & get them replaced with true fiscal conservatives.

If anyone knows something different on this issue I'd appreciate the information.

[Doc Savage]

Can we all agree that had Kim Gandy's mother made the wise choice and aborted KIM, Kim wouldn't be so talkative these days???

[BnBlFlag]

Pi$$ on NOW.

Mandatory drug testing for all employees of 501(c) tax-exempt corporations as a condition for non-profit status would have all the Leftist non-profits drying up and blowing away like aging dung...
