Here's what I see...the Dems do not care one whit what is best for the economy, our national security, the unity of our people or America as a whole. They care only for POWER. That's why President Bush will win more often than not - because he truly is trying to do what is best. Since the clintons, the RATS have lost thier way. With hillary now the head of the powerful Steering Committee (which will be the voice against whatever the President proposes), the RATS will remain in that clinton web. The panic on their faces is because they cannot figure out what is wrong...why their message no longer resonates...we have Truth (Bush) vs. Lies (hillary/daschle, etc) - we will not win every battle because she will have the media...but the American people are not the same since 9-11...many have awakened from the deep sleep of the carefree 90's. Our President knows this.
LOTT: I hope that maybe this bad experience for me, and the mistake I made, will wind up helping lead to better relations and improvements. And...
GORDON: Will you take a closer look at the people you align yourself with?
LOTT: Absolutely, I will. And I will listen to and talk to African-American leaders and African-American men and women across--and other minorities.
GORDON: But will you take another look at groups like the Council of Conservative Citizens?
LOTT: Absolutely. I--you know, I absolutely will do that.
GORDON: What about Charles Pickering, who you backed very strongly, quite frankly...
LOTT: Absolutely, yes.
GORDON: Absolutely...
LOTT: I did back him, because he is a fine man with an outstanding record who actually took risks with his own life to--in actions against the Klan.
GORDON: But you know where I'm going with that question.
LOTT: I do. Sure.
GORDON: You would take another look at him now?
LOTT: I know his heart. He is a good man and is not a racist or a segregationist in any way. The things--many of the things said against him he was not guilty of.
But having said that, you know, I'll have to weigh all of my actions differently and more carefully.
