  • 95% of our current politicians are a JOKE. From what I've seen now the Republican party has become a HUGE threat to us and others around the world. It's as if a bunch of corporations and laywers are running this country (into the ground). DID YOU KNOW FOOD PRICES WENT UP A WHOPPING 40% in ONE year! That my friends is INSANE!

  • In 2002, Lott lost his Senate Republican Leader post after he was quoted praising the staunch segregationist Strom Thurmond during Thurmond's 100th birthday party. "I want to say this about my state: when Strom Thurmond ran for President, we voted for him," Lott boasted. "We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either."

  • good to see that not everyone leave of their own when they are under attack. respect for Specter.

  • When I posted, no comments were viewable, so to clarify with whom I agree...with the senator, I meant to say, not responding to some comment.

    It is too bad that we are getting so thin-skinned that an innocent comment by a good man at a birthday party for a very old man caused such a terrible feeding frenzy. We're the losers for it!

  • I agree! Absolutely a great man sacrificed on the altar of PC who should be now in Congress. I have met the man, and he is a superb individual and a true gentleman. Forget Strom Thurmond...IF TRENT LOTT were in the White House NOW, the country would be a lot better off!

  • Believe it or not.......I couldn't care less.

    Idiot des Tages

  • עס סימז דער איד איז לוסינג י.ק
