I don't know why people are giving poor old Trent Lott such a hard time, calling on him to resign his post - it's not like the rest of the Republican leadership is any less clueless than he is.

...the ironic thing about it is that lott said the country would be in better shape if thurmond has won the race for president 54 years ago.  thurmond was basicly running as a democrat (dixiecrat - jim crow democrat). i guess 'ol strom finally realised which party was better for racists

What he said was dumb, mainly because he was white. If he'd been black, a lot of you guys would have been whipping out your checkbooks. Remember Louis Farrakhan? Remember reparations? A few of you fellows on the board were nodding in tacit agreement.

Lott was impolitic, and forgot what color he was.

yep, that little fact is never mentioned in the media for the soma coma masses.

but doesn't detract from the fact that lott is as dumb as his hair style reflects. guaranteed he got a phone call or two from the rep leaders asking what the heck he was smoking.............and to shut the hell up in the future.

I dont know anyone who wants Lott as majority leader. He was a terrible leader the last time he had the job and I doubt he will get any better at it. His comment is a perfect example of his lack of leadership skills.  He reminds me of a Rep version of Daschle. Basicly he gets the job because he has been there a long time.

I would much rather see Bill Frist of Tennesee or Don Nichols of Oklahoma as Majority leaders. If anything good comes out of this maybe he (lott) will wise up and step back.

You're really reaching Guys.  Trent Lott made that statement at Strom Thurmond's BIRTHDAY PARTY.  You know what happens at a birthday party don't you?  Everyone present says a lot of polite meaningless nothings to make the honoree feel good.  When you make the statement that Lott was being racist you're saying more about yourselves than you are about him.

Get a grip.

Krusher you assume I am a Democrat,why?Because I don't like what Lott said, or that I don't like Bush?

I don't vote along party lines and I think that there are good and bad in both parties.A lot of times it's hard to tell the difference between the two.Politicians are usually not the best and brightest
of the bunch anyway.

What gets me is people who rabidly support one party or the other no matter who or what  the issue.This hurts the country big time.

I hope they fire his ass. I'm not impressed by his leadership skills. He certainly doesn't represent Republicans, particularly this administration.:mad:

That is idiotic.  What black politician who would make a statement that anti-lynching laws and allowing blacks to vote were mistakes?

If Republicans are upset about being characterized as bigots, they should support his resignation.

Montezuma,

Lott didn't say that either.  He said the country would have been better off if Strom Thurmond had won his bid for President.  He was being polite to a 100 year old man at his birthday party, not sending out subliminal messages of personal racism.

Either way, Bush just came out and blasted him for it.
