Can I assume that, to be perfectly consistent, you will also condemn any sort of power that Sen. Robert Byrd, who actually WAS a leader of the Ku Klux Klan (as opposed to Lott’s admittedly dumb remarks at a gathering honoring a racist senator) holds?  You wouldn’t want to be hypocritical, would you?  After all, we all know that only conservatives and Republicans can be hypocritical and dishonest, right?  Your fingers must be getting numb holding your noses while you look the other way concerning Byrd’s history at the same time you condemn Lott.

In repeating or replaying the infamous Lott paean to Thurman, what struck me most was that it was a party for the Republican caucus or at least part of it. They cheered Lott’s comments loud and long. So they used Lott to cover their butts when it became public, but the GOP made amends as soon as they thought it was safe.

Trying to re-polish Lott means that the Republican Party is in need of real talent members. On the floor of Senate there’re lots of wodden cranes who only know to bow head down and say “YES” loudly.

This was the results from vote stupid !

Well done, Jabari! I love this piece. You have come a long way my dear…friend?

Well, you get the point I’m trying to make. If I were in the country, I’d come to Washington to give you a hug for this one. Very well done.

As for rabblerowzer, you deserve a hug to my…friend? Your comment nailed it.

When this administration went as far as killing white people in the WTC atrocities, it was time for this person of color to pack and head for safety. It was freighting enough having police target black men, now the government gets involved to sway more of those simple minded, in some cases, through no fault of their own, white folks.

Unions have been wiped out because low income whites, most union members voted republican. Trailer park whites vote republican because their belief is the democrats support social programs which “helps those blacks.” And, you can’t live with yourself knowing your taxes may support some black person, huh?

When you think of who the republicans consistantly target for support (racist whites with little or no financial stability, most of whom live in Mississippi) you have to give credit to the master mind behind all that has happened during the past six years—The Devil Himself—Karl Rove.

Time to WAKE up!!!

Of course you are correct in all that you have stated, but the focus should not be on Mr Lott. There’s a MUCH bigger picture that needs to be recognized. There is a “class” war going on right now, right here in the good ol’ US of A. This needs to be addressed ASAP! 

The Republican Elite knows that the American demographics is changing. At some point, the WASP will be in the minority. Fear and panic has settled in among this group. Before the demographic shift can work it’s course, a wicked tactical campaign to nullify the possible ramifications will have muted all positive effects. Yes my friends, a full scale offensive is under way RIGHT NOW to consolidate the economic and political power base in favor of the WASP.

All issues presented now are really smoke and mirrors. A distraction from the true plan…

* Disenfranchise minorities
* Erode constitutional protections
* Permanently repeal tax laws to favor the rich
* Eliminate access to higher education for poor
* De-regulate big business to encourage monopolies
* etc, etc, etc…

Basically, we will soon see a country where power and wealth will be in the exclusive hands of a relative few- the OLD money conservatives. The system will be rigged so that EVERYONE else is effectively SHUT-OUT… permanently!!!!!

Does anyone really think that the OLD GUARD is simply going out with-out a FIGHT???

get REAL

Watch…
We’re going to see a form of south-african APARTHEID right here in AMERICA- and it’s going to occur right under our noses.

WAKE UP!!!

Lott better keeps his mouth shut with Scott tape when he’s present on the floor.

One more time going to “storage” he’ll become an earthen statue.

It is really ‘heart warming’ to see Rpublicans embrace their roots again!
I fully agree with rabblerowzer; when will poor folks and blue-collar workers finally realise that the GOP,has been, is and will always be working for BIG BUISNESS and PRIVATE INTERESTS. Their only motto is to diminsh the role of the Fed Govt. ( if possible, eliminate it all together) and give all the work to private companies like Haliburton,Diebolt,Betchel etc,etc so that they can exploit and cheat to make billions more; and once they are “full and bloated” they might throw a few crumbs at the rest of us [99.9%] to live on!
“Trickle-Down-Ecnomics” is nothing more than an euphemism for ‘mass exploitation’.

Racism is the backbone of the Republican party. The not very subtle racist “Southern Strategy” employed by Republicans has enabled them to win election after election and to shred the Democrat’s social safety net to pieces. Dixieland is the heart of the Republican party and their divide and conquer racist policies have enabled them to win the hearts and minds of low income whites who are more concerned with keeping African-Americans down, rather than minding their own self-interest. Blue-collar whites consistently vote for politicians and policies that harm their own circumstances and opportunities to maintain their white superiority “cultural heritage.”

Republicans have focused blue-collar white’s attention on race issues to divert them from noticing that their job opportunities and living standards are declining right along with African-American’s.
