Democrats, having supported the most corrupt presidential administration in American history, have absolutely no moral authority whatsoever. It is their utter immorality that has doomed them.

The Democrats always seem to dwell in the past. The way they are operating, the vicious attacks will continue against Republicans.
The answer.... Republicans need to promote the future, push aside the past, argue that everyone on both sides has made mistakes, but only the strong leaders can admit to making mistakes, but move on. Walk away from the intimidators. Tell them the issues have been resolved and there is nothing more to say.

Unfortunately I see Lott's resignation as a sign of weakness. Politicians are so afraid of making mistakes they cast the idea they are accomplishing nothing except preparing for the next election, but forget to represent the people who put them there. We do not need to exhibit weakness by backing down to the attackers.

The small groups who cry out the loudest remind me of a child who crys until given candy. Eventually they realize that if they continue crying, they will get more candy, and eventually graduate from accepting a candy appeasement to more sophisticated forms of extortion to get their way. The NAACP (national association of always complaining people) is polishing their techniques to use a crying affliction agenda to extort the big prize, reparations. Any politician who allies themself with opposing reparations will be the next people accused of racism. Where does the extortion racket stop?

Democrats, by contrast, show no signs of reevaluating their policies on race, or on any other issue. Lott says he has learned from his mistakes; the Democrats have committed themselves to refusing to learn from theirs.

Bingo! They are doomed. They are giddy with the belief that they have found the Achilles Heel of the Republican jaugernaut. They fool themselves. The are delusional. The clouds of their political bloodlust will hasten them into rocky chores and dead ends. C'est la guerre.

I wonder how dissapointing this next two-year stretch would have been for Repubs, WITH Lott in place, even if he had not misspoken.

What the Dem senators now face, will be a final stretch, with a Senate led by a man with strong conviction to Republican standards, who won't be in their back pocket, ready to cut last minute, back-room deals, like Lott was.

Sounds like their WORST nightmare......they should have given him a pass for their own sake....but they couldn't resist their own pit-bull mentality!

Breaking News. This has to be at least a week old. At any rate the Demoncrats still don't get it. No reason to clue them in.

Republicans see this, and they have begun to pursue black voters.

Black leaders rather should recognize that Republicans will vote on a candidate's potential, not their color and that the first Black President will be a Republican. Others should also note that the first Woman President will also be a Republican.

Of course, both candidates could be the same person.

For decades, they (the RATS) have used one of the better moments from their past - the battle against segregation - to great political advantage.

Once again, it must be pointed out that more Republicans voted for Civil Rights legislation than RATS. And it was RATS like J. William Fulbright, Al Gore, Sr., Fritz Hollings, Robert Byrd who staunchly opposed desegregation.

It was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower who ordered the University of Arkansas to allow black students to enter. Sooner or later this is going to sink in.

"Republicans see this, and they have begun to pursue black voters. They have a strong incentive to do so: if Republicans had secured even 30 percent of the black vote in the last presidential election, the result would not even have been close." Half of the freepers miss this point.

The sorry A$$ Bill is on C-SPAN right now in a re-play of him with children and he's talking about the homeless and "there are more this year because the economy isn't as good."

What a jerk!

How do Hispanics and Asians feel about Blacks, and I'm talking big picture? One wonders if the former groups would rather be in the other party. One could say that the Hispanics and Asians are just as entitled to piss and moan as liberal African Americans, but they don't.

IMHO, the GOP wastes its breath trying to make inroads with the NAACP crowd and its voters. These blacks believe that the Govt is the only thing that has ever taken care of them. They WANT big govt, that's where most of them are employed.

That's alright. All the Demoncrats have to do to compensate for their failure on racial issues, is run a few adds showing black churches burning and James Byrd chained to the back of a pick-up truck...and the NAACP and Jesse Jackass will praise them as saviors of the black race.
Pathetic.

[starboardside]

The title says it all. The Dems are the sorriest lot.

[goldstategop]

The Democrats are digging themselves into a hole. They may succeed in keeping the blacks on the Liberal Plantation but in the process they'll lose what little's left of their soul and the country.
