Republican does the RIGHT thing AGAIN

So you are saying that the Republicans sell out their own and the Democrats have more loyalty?  

Spin spin spin.

BTW, what's the deal with Frist? I know he's a buddy of Bush, and fairly popular personally in the Senate, but he's only been around since the mid-1990s. What pushed him to the top of the list?

bummer huh?

Riiight... so what your saying the Republican majority Senate decided not to hand the shaft to Clinton and put an end to the affair?

Hmmmm... maybe they should have? Oh wait, maybe they had whats best for the country in mind?

What Lott said was not exactly the best choice of words.  He was simply trying to say a good thing about an old man.  What the Democlods did was jump at the chance to take those words out of context pump it for thier own gain.  

While I'm at it... I have a question concerning Polesi.  Why didn't you Demunists just go out and find a relic from the polituro to lead the House minority? lol

I thought we were talking about which party puts the interests of the country first, USA, not your country. Obviously not the dems.

As someone said previously, the lines are already clearly drawn. What losses?

Do you actually believe that Lott wasn't hurting the 2004 Republican congressional ticket?  The sooner they got rid of him the better.  Nothing heroic about it... he became dead weight and they cut him loose before he dragged down the party.

In Berkeley, CA, the newly elected mayor finally admitted to stealing 1000+ copies (from the copystands) of the UC Berekeley newspaper and throwing them into the trash. ---snip--- Guess what would've happened if the person was politically to the center or (gasp), to the right?

How exactly do you steal something that is free?

Soooo what you are saying is.......

Even with sufficient evidence to convict, the Repulicraps foresook their duties to the Constitution and the Law and decided to do "what is best for the Country" instead of the "right thing".

Sounds like you're applauding them for moral bankruptcy.

The House Republicans voted for impeachment, but the spineless Senate Republicans let the slimey weasel go.   Who was their leader?  I can't remember his name now...

The way I see it:

1. Lott was receiving pressure from the party to step down, probably because he would be a liability to the party. While this is true, it speaks highly of Lott that he accepted his responsibility for the words and did what he needed to do. It took him two weeks... so? He tried the apology route, it didn't work, so he must make amends in the only way possible- step down from leadership. Sorry, I'm finding it difficult to find fault with this in any way.

2. The radical faction of the Democratic party is making hay out of this, and it is indeed becoming a central plank for 2004. To ignore this fact is foolish for the Republican party.

3. The Democratic party and supporters have there own Trent Lotts, but they can never be called on it. It's a double standard, and everyone knows it. Sure, they are good at rationalizing away why their crap doesn't stink, but they never seem to make that step that shows they accept responsibility for their actions. They DO make sad faces and bite their lips, but they hang on. And the public loves them for it.

4. It doesn't matter. Lott did something stupid that caused an uproar. His actions were extremely impolitic, and he endangered the future of the Republican initiatives for the next several years. That is unforgiveable, just as such an error in corporate America would result in demotion or termination. The party IS holding Lott accountable, and it should. Spin it any way you like, but the Reps are getting tarred for doing the right thing.

Me, I do my job even if the people around me won't. I don't spend my time worrying about what they do or don't do, nor do I listen one second to what they have to say about my work when I know they don't live up to the same standards they criticize me about. In the same way, the Dems should be very quiet right now. Either that, or their versions of Trent Lott should start making public apologies and stepping back from positions of power. I won't hold my breath, though.

By taking more than your share.  Isn't that obvious?

I will start this reply by saying that I am neither a Democrat or a Republican.  I think both parties are full of it on so many issues it isn’t worth getting into on a Game message board.  I will say this.  If Lott were not the moron that he is, he would not have said what he did.  In the second place, Southerners created the very problems that he said would have been avoided if what’s his name would have won following WW2.  They brought the slaves to this country.  I never heard of any war trials concerning that very simple fact after the Civil War.  The biggest mistake this country made following that war was the compromise that was reached concerning Africans.  The choices presented were to deport them all to Africa at the expense of the south, Or to grant them complete equal rights.  The decision was for equal but separate.  We have the southern landowners and clergy to thank for this.  Then known as the Democratic Party.  When Kennedy was elected to the presidency and began implementing his policies on equal rights in the south, all those Southern Democrats suddenly became Republicans to include Ronald Reagan.
On that note I will leave you with a very old Roman proverb that reflects on almost all aspects of life.  Slaves make cruel masters.

Vote on the issues. Blindly following is a sign of mental surrender and sheep behaviour.

If you do, sometimes you'd vote for one part, another times for the other. Much harder to dumbocrat and ratpublican ALL fediddleing issues.

This stereotyping by intelligent people is saddening.
