Well, that is only to be expected from a "dysron," i.e., one of normal or even slightly above average intelligence, whose fears and compulsions reduce his analytic abilities to a moronic level. There is no way that any person operating functionally with a "full deck," would think it in the Republican interest to (a) smear Trent Lott; (b) publicly disparage the contributions of Southern Conservatives to the improved Republican prospects since the 1960s; or (c) work with the biased and extremely Leftist New York Times on a project that incorporates "a" and "b."
