Not a Lott to Cheer About

Comments by Republican senators on Thursday suggested that they were feeling the heat from conservative critics of the bill, who object to provisions offering legal status. The Republican whip, Trent Lott of Mississippi, who supports the bill, said: “Talk radio is running America. We have to deal with that problem.”

At some point, Mr. Lott said, Senate Republican leaders may try to rein in “younger guys who are huffing and puffing against the bill.”

That, my friends, is from a New York Times article posted this morning. I heard about this earlier in the day and was annoyed I wouldn’t be near a computer for hours, but so it was.

I have spent the day fuming on this one.

Livid.

Hang on tight, kiddies, ’cause Uncle Bit is about to unload.

This blog and most others on the right stuck up for Trent Lott when everyone, and I mean everyone was screaming for his political neck. So, too were the Talk Radio people he now castigates, back in the day. I’m telling you, dear reader, he owes the fact that he is still in the United States Senate today to talk radio and to the right side blogs. It’s that simple.

Lott is now about betraying that trust.

I could almost deal with it if that were the only trust he were betraying, but it’s worse… far worse. First, has anyone noticed that he’s sounding like a Democrat?  I mean, not only in terms of this bill, which clearly is in direct violation of his oath of office, but in terms of who he blames for the bill not being passed; Talk Radio, and the Blogs.  Sounds like the Book of Hillary, Chater 19, verse 27: “It’s all a Vast Conspiracy”

However; If you think about it, the people he’s really blaming, are the voters.  The people.  All Talkradio and the Blogs have done is to inform the American people what this bill is about, and what damage it will do. The real pressure against the Bill was brought by the people. That’s what Lott is really objecting to, here. To my thinking, he’s betrayed the trust of the voters.

Add to that, the idea of a lot has just given the Democrats a weapon to help them push through the ‘fairness doctrine”, again.

I’ve suggested publicly, that this immigration bill being pushed by Mr. Bush, is a move to reveal to the American people just who the RINOs are.  My guess is that Lott has just been so revealed.

Add to that, that Mr. Lott has just been successful in handing the Democrats yet another weapon to help them push their “fairness doctrine” into law. 

Here it is, Gang: There is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant”. Either they are immigrants, who arrived here and live here legally, or they are illegals. The former, are entitled to everything that our society offers, provided that they are willing to become citizens, which by nature of the word, would include learning the language, and adopting the United States, culturally, as well as financially. The latter are entitled to nothing whatsoever.

If Lott can’t understand those basics, he doesn’t deserve the chair he holds, and he certainly doesn’t deserve our trust, either as Republicans, or as Americans.

Am I clear enough on ths?

Lott had no complaints when the people reacted and saved his sorry ass from the Democrats and the nonsense they manufactured over the Thurmond thing.

Now comes the question of why we bothered.
