I was going to post something relating to Trent Lott's dissing of "talk radio" but let the moment pass.
Michelle Malkin hasn't...(btw...Michelle has a newly revamped website...check it out)

It's difficult for me to accept that someone with a conservative background like Lott said this, but he did. Any advocacy of limiting free speech must be opposed. Be it the 'un'Fairness Doctrine, McCain/Feingold Campaign reform or what.
If Lott truly sees Talk Radio as such a Problem, perhaps it is he who is out of step with us, the American Voter. After all, we listen to various Talk Radio hosts, not to be told what to do, but because these various hosts agree with us and for the most part, share our values.

Liberals believe otherwise, Lew.
In their arrogance, they believe Conservatives are being led by talk radio hosts.
Lott apparently has bought into their supposed intellectual superiority and now is one of them.
That's a shame.

I'm disappointed. I always thought better of Lott than that.

I couldn't believe it was Lott saying this either. Another one bites the dust.

I haven't been a Trent Lott fan for a long time.
Trent Lott is one of the porkiest porkers in the Senate.
| Quote: | Lott defends road project funded by Katrina bill
WASHINGTON — The powerful Mississippi Senate delegation is using a mammoth bill funding hurricane relief and the war in Iraq to have taxpayers foot the $700 million bill for closing a just-rebuilt rail line along Mississippi's Gulf Coast.
The track, running east-west through virtually every city and town along the coast, was damaged by Hurricane Katrina. CSX Transportation and its insurers just spent about $300 million repairing it.
Now, Mississippi GOP Sens. Thad Cochran and Trent Lott want to tear it up again and use the right of way to build a new highway along the congested coastline. Cochran is chairman of the Appropriations Committee, which approved the project Tuesday as part of a $107 billion-plus measure funding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and additional hurricane relief.
Critics are blasting the move as a power play by the Mississippians, accusing them of using the must-pass Iraq and Katrina bill to advance a home-state project that's hardly an emergency. But Mississippi officials say a new road would be important to the future economy of the coast.
Lott vigorously defended the rail-line plan: "I'll just say this about the so-called porkbusters. I'm getting damn tired of hearing from them. They have been nothing but trouble ever since Katrina."

Exactly one of the things we hate most from the left - attaching pork to necessities. Why would we think we'd hate it any less when it comes from a professed conservative? 
| Quote: | | "I'll just say this about the so-called porkbusters. I'm getting damn tired of hearing from them. They have been nothing but trouble ever since Katrina." |
I'll bet they have, Senator!  As they fully intended to be when you elected folks forget that we elected you to eliminate pork, not add to it!
Get over yerself, Senator, and get with the program!
Unlike Democrats, who are treated like the second coming of the Savior by other liberals, being Republican doesn't make you immune to criticism from conservatives!

Because of the likes of Lindseed Graham and Trent Lott, the Republcan party is beginning to morph into some kind of Demo-Rhino crowd. How sad!

It goes on and on with these so-called repubs. Time for me to register as an Independent. I've been a registered Republican since 1964 (Barry Goldwater).

Barry Goldwater was the first candidate that I voted for for president in
'64 too. The other one was Ronald Reagan for Governor of California.
I got to vote for him four times - twice for governor and twice for president.
The only time that I haven't voted for the Republican for president was when Wallace ran. I went downtown LA and voted absentee with three other guys because we were deploying before election day. I didn't really think that Wallace could win, but I wasn't a happy camper with either Nixon or McGovern. I surely hope that we will have a candidate that I can get behind. I think that all the present wannabes will burn out long before the election though.

Senator Graham has morphed into Fritz Hollings I believe - unfortunately.
The sentiment among conservatives in the state, I believe, is that he must be replaced. There is a huge amount of discontent with him.
It'll probably get worse before it gets better, i.e., Sen. Graham may lose to a dem before we get this straightened out.
I simply do not understand how you can abandon your core principles so quickly. Its astonishing to watch. But then again he is simply a politician. |
