I find that many of you are referring to RACISTS as being of Southern origin.

From where I stand, much of America (northern, southern, western & eastern) are STILL holding onto racist ideals.

None of us is better then the next. Maybe Trent is finally getting to understand that and is ashamed of his actions (and those of his cronies). Maybe he has recognized it's time for the OLD GUARD to step down. Either way, we will have a fresh persepctive in the White House come '09.

I just hope this great nation of ours decides to come to our senses and quit the infighting. We USED to be the greatest nation…now, not so much. Together we can make anything happen. Let's focus on change for the better already.

Good Riddance - you and Hastert and other big spenders have given the Republicans a bad name anyhow and put the party in the position it is today.

I had been thinking with all these Republicans jumping ship that it was because they were having trouble working with so many more democrats or maybe, just maybe, they were having a hard time supporting this administration and wanted out rather than feeling forced to continuously support GWB's policies.
Stupid me for giving them, even this guy, the benefit of the doubt. He ran for re-election just last year because of all the devastation from Katrina and is jumping ship so he won't have to wait 2 years after his term is up to rake in the big bucks as a lobbyist. Disgusting!

Oh, isn't he just the loyal soldier!! Just goes to show it's all about the money. He wants to be able to start lining his pockets as soon as possible. What a jerk! Another good republican. lol.

http://bigheaddc.com/2007/11/26/trent-lott-fallout-the-gay-escort-who-knew-too-much/

This is the real reason he is resigning. Please report the facts.

testing….testing CNN Are you there? Then why do you keep deleting out my blogs, I met all the requirements and never said anything innappropiate in it. What gives, did I forget to put the period in ".com"!!!!

I hate to admit it but as a Dem I liked Lott as politician. He and Dashcle were the last two civil Senate leaders we had and they worked hard not to let partisan politics get in the way. He did have his issues but who hasn't, on both sides.

And as for Strom Thurman and the like, I love how they are for segregation unless it's between them and female slaves, then integration is just fine. Who knows how many descendants we have who were born as part of the ultimate hypocrisy.

Good riddance Lott. I know you have well recovered your losses from Katrina plus some and I'm sure we will hear about it.

Why don't we outlaw ALL lobbying?
–
I suspect Republicans are leaving so that Democrats will take their places. Then the Dems will take power and have to spend billions fixing the problems created by the Republicans. Then people get mad at the higher taxes, and the Republicans will sweep the 2012 election.

It's a common pattern.

I hear the KKK has an opening for Grand Wizard. He should apply.

Maybe you guys are missing the point - Ron Paul has 90% excellent ideas…and 10% completely insane ideas (getting rid of the CIA/FBI/Department of Education..etc) - Ron Paul was and is a Libertarian…thats it…read their doctrine…as far as belonging to the Republican party - a Democrat who decribes themselve as "moderate" will agree with most all issues with a moderate Republican - the difference being that if either had to "weigh" how they would "side" - Democrats would side with social issues…and Republicans would side with fiscal - name the moderates in either party (not Ron Paul…Liberatarians don't count….) - theres one ….Giuliani…you may not like him…but…he's the only moderate…

Have to make the deadline to become a lobbyist, Mr. Lott?

As of January 1st, if you are in the US congress (house or senate), you have to wait 2 years to become a lobbyist. So Trent here is trynig to beat a deadline.

I guess, profits before people , as usuall. What a low-life dog this guy is, I always knew it, but now he proved it, to EVERYBODY.

Maybe that is why all these Republicans are quiting their house and senate seats this year?

Hmmm, makes you wonder doesn't it, truthseeker?

"A senior Republican source close to Lott said one reason for the decision
is the new lobbying restrictions on former lawmakers.
Nothing surprising here… another Republican who thinks his own pocketbook and Washington Special Interests are more important than serving the people!

Could there be anything more hilarious than to watch an entire nation completely and utterly destroy itself with meaningless divisive politics?

A nation of ignorant apes murders each other over which tastes better—Coke or Pepsi.

Meanwhile, corporate plutocrats and oligarchs and their military industrial complex drive the nation further into ruin.

It is so very enjoyable to watch history in action. An entire nation with a rich history, bathed in blood and baptized in the sufferings of native peoples and colonized populations all over the earth, gets its cosmic comeuppance as it is torn to pieces from the inside and unable to defend itself from the outside.

Democans and Republicrats dangle the keys in front of the infant's eyes, while their hands greedily reach into the cookie jar—stealing from the people, while at the same time dismantling the foundation that the once-great nation was founded upon.

You apes are hilarious.
Destroy, apes, destroy!
Tear each other to pieces with your false gods of money and oil!
Is your neighbor doing something he shouldn't be, ape?
Put a camera in his house!
Have you consumed enough for your god to love you, ape?
Have you spent enough money to go to heaven, ape?

Kill for your god, apes!
Kill for the Homeland, apes!

Vote for that one, ape.
No, vote for that one, ape.
They truly care about you.
They really do.
The politicians love you, apes.
They really enjoy kissing your babies.
This one will save you, ape! Vote for him!
No, that one will save you, ape!
Vote for her!

Ignorant little animals.
What a tragic farce you are,
(Dis)United States.

Gee, you mean a Republican would quit fighting for the people (or however they advertise it) in lieu of his own personal financial gain? But Republicans love Jesus and their constituents?!

LLenny said, in part: You are the same people who think smoking drugs and staying drunk is perfectly OK.

You drug-infested morons will batten down the hatches come 2009, because that's when the REAL fun starts in this country. Better start learning to speak spanish also

A racist Republican demonizing Democrats with false generalities—say it isn’t so!

I've been drunk once, stoned never, don’t smoke, badgered my wife to stay off nicotine, and am generally against the notion of better living through pharmaceuticals.

I wish Obama hadn't done drugs. But I just don't see many people using "the president used to" as a reason to start drug use.

You see, I don't care about empty rhetoric or moral grandstanding. I care about the consequences of the election. I think those consequences will be best under Obama.

As for speaking Spanish, there's far less need for me to study Spanish (Hablo español ya, tonto) than there is for you to get over your racist views regarding Latinos—they’re the fastest growing segment of our population, you know.

It is not hard to see why you are upset by liberals celebrating Lott’s departure from Congress. But it’s a good thing for America, trust me.

How typical: a piece of crap bigot that should've resigned long ago, Lott is resigning so that he can avoid the law curbing lobbying for two years after leaving office.

This pig is leaving to make easy money off taxpayers. A fitting ending for a useless lawmaker that did nothing while in office but fight for the far right.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. As former Senate Majority Leader and current Whip, he's a main part of the cause of so many of today's problems, everything from the war in Iraq to the $9 trillion debt to the do-nothing Congress. That he's probably a despicable racist is almost incidental.

First the rank-and-file, now the leadership. The Republican Party surely is falling apart.

It just proves the old adage about how you reap what you sow.

Typical Republicans try to defend bigots by pointing out that some bigots used to be Democrats. The argument is old. They were southern white bigots at a time when Southern Racism was rampant. Had nothing to do with party affiliation then or now. It just so happens that the Southern bigots are predominantly Republican. Truth is truth.

By the way, good riddance. Four terms in the Senate and his state is no better off than before his term. I would know , I used to live there. And the notion that Chip Pickering is even being considered is crazy. Last I heard he lives in Virginia and doesn't even own a home in Mississippi.

He's self-seeking, greedy jerk!
Remember, he was one of the senators (of BOTH) parties)who was "Aggravated" that so many Americans were giving him their inputs on immigration a few months back! The gaul of those Americans! Imagine!

Forget about any "representative gov't" notions with guys like this-and most of the DC crew are exactly the same.

Sorry to see a real conserative leave office. Mr. Lott should be commended for his service to his country. Maybe he can get congress to pass a bill that would bring our vast quanities of shell oil to the market. It was suppose to have been profitable when oil reached 30 dollars a barrel. At least maybe he can get the ball started.

Hey moderator,,,

Care to tell me why my posts are often censored?

I've seen cars for sale ads on these posts and they seem to be ok with CNN moderators. Is censorship something CNN embraces?

I remember seeing Lott after W won. Lott had a cowboy hat on and was partying down at W's "ranch" (like that idiot ever worked a day in his life). Then W and Co. booted him out of his position after the "comment" (hey paranoid neocons, if the comment wasn't racist, why didn't W stand up for him?). Then his house gets blown down in Katrina while W parties at the ranch! Then Lott sues the insurance co. that helped put him in office and the judges, who he helped get appointed, rule against him!! Now he is quitting with many years left to serve!! Goin' golfin' w Rove, Rumsfeld, Snow, Hughes, Delay, George Allen, and the rest of 'em?

I wonder if anyone has considered that maybe Trent Lott just doesnt want to serve in a 3rd world government. So far under King George we have an unstable dollar- so bad that we have to listen to comments about it from no less than Iran's Amadinijad.. now that the US dollar is worth less than the Canadian dollar… when they said "backed by the good faith of the US Government", I dont think anyone ever intended us to actually require real faith!..Im gonna ask my employer if I can be paid in Euros.. i mean at least that's stable.

Yes, get rid of these (*)()*()* only problem is they are held accountable for all the graft, greed and wars they ahve caused.

All you need to know about Lott is his support of the policies of Richard Nixon and Dubya Bush.

One could only conclude that Lott is also a dangerous and immoral person.

Trent Lott: American racist.

Sure he's going to resign - Bush rebuilt his coastal home in Mississippi after Katrina!

The rest of the people's homes in the area? Ah, they're not friends of the program!

Good riddance!
But who knows who Mississippi will choose to replace him.
What a frightening thought!!

He paid back the corporations early, his nose has turned the proper shade of GOP-Brown, he can now reap the rewards on K-Street. Great job!

But I hear his toupee plans to run
term..

Good riddance to this phoney bigoted
nut..He can hang out with the other right wing kooks at some "think tank"
or make up some phoney company and become a war profiteer like the rest of the recent ex-officials and their family members.

If this doofus IS resigning now so he can become a lobbyist in a year instead of two, this calls for law against lobbyists.
Speakers in Congress are speaking to empty chambers now because everyone is meeting with a freaking lobby.

Now he's free to attend parties where there's pointy white hats.

Dear. Sen. Lott, can you please take your buddy Mitch McConnell with you????

Excellent post, Terry. I believe that if a lot of Republicans out there really looked at what their party stood for (and how voting for Republicans works against people), they'd become Democrats.

GOOD RIDANCE!!! Don't let the doors hit you on your way out.

Boo-hoo.

Another Republican rat leaving the sinking ship…. what a surprise. Will the last crook left in Washington please turn out the lights when you leave?

"… call Trent Lott a racist for some off-comment that was misconstrued. Let's [not] overlook the fact that Strom Thurman was a Democrat when he ran as a segregationist." - Juan, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Southern Democrats were Conservatives before the late sixties because of loyalty to Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal policies that provided employment, rural electrification, and many other benefits to the grandparents of today's Southern Republicans. Those grandparents remembered not Lincoln's conquest of the Confederacy but Herbert Hoover's indifference to their welfare during the first four years of the Great Depression, between 1929 and 1932, when FDR won 42 of 48 states, including the entire South. The solid South remained with the Democrats through Johnson's landslide election in 1964.

When Lyndon Johnson campaigned in for Congress in Texas in the thirties, he said he had three planks in his platform: "Roosevelt, Roosevelt, and Roosevelt," and the poor farmers of Texas' Hill Country liked all three planks. No Democrat should be proud of FDR's tolerance of southern segregation, but he left a much better America to us after his 15 years as President and we embrace every good thing he did and cherish his memory.

Harry Truman, who succeeded Roosevelt, said in 1947, "My forebears were Confederates. … But my very stomach turned over when I had learned that Negro soldiers, just back from overseas, were being dumped out of Army trucks in Mississippi and beaten." Strom Thurmond, a Democrat found that his stomach was turned by Truman's attitude, so he switched to the Dixiecrat Party and promoted a return to segregationism.

The FDR coalition of Northern Liberals and Southern Conservatives lasted until the Lyndon Johnson jammed two unacceptable laws down the Southern throat: Medicare, which integrated Southern hospitals and the Voting Rights Act which allowed Southern Blacks to vote. After the passge of those laws, Lyndon confided to an associate that (I'm paraphrasing) "I think that we have given the South to the Republican Party for the rest of my lifetime." but poor Lyndon didn't live long enough to see the South return to the Democratic Party.

After that, Southern Democrats turned Republican in wholesale numbers. Nixon, in 1968 was very aware of segregationist dissatisfaction with the Great Society's accomplishments for poor Blacks, and he pioneered the Southern Strategy, allying himself pretty openly with segregationists by waving the flag of "States' Rights". Later, Ronald Reagan and then Newt Gingrich fine-tuned the strategy, building a truly unholy alliance of Southern Segregationists, economic Conservatives, and Evangelical Christians.

No Liberal can be a Segregationist, but the door is open wide to all former Segregationists who are tired of low wages, no benefits, and crappy jobs.

Good. He's been a disgrace to Mississippi ever since he was elected. I remember growing up in MS, and most of the people I knew wouldn't trust a penny or a second to him. But he kept getting re-elected. Why? Because he paid enough money to the right people. That's all.

Re: Your post of November 26, 2007 10:09 am

Mr. Sheridan…you have it RIGHT ON!!! You hit the nail on the head for Chris and other like-minded, dis-heartened repubs. Their party was hi-jacked by the far right, starting around 1980, and its been getting worse ever since.

The problem has been that too many of these people who believe themselves to be conservative, or who just like to be labeled that way, have bought into the republican lie machine….and have ignored the facts in front of them. Up until a few yeasr ago, there was a 'split' gov't, and the "communistic/socialistic" dems could always be blamed for all the evils, despite the repubs. being in power too. Now after these few years of monolithic repub. rule, it is very much harder for that lie machine to confuse people as to just who messed up. The sorry thing is: who are the ~30% of Americans who actually think Bush has done a good job, and who are these people, like Chris, running around still trying to find cover in a repub. party that goes against their own self-interest and that clearly does the counrty great harm? This is like a child burning his hand on a stove, and then contuing to try to find excuses to go back and do it again. This kind of hyper-partisan, ignorant, even stupid behavior does not bode well for our country.

The dems are not perfect, but at least with them in power we can get the public debate back on track….with a dose of input from a grounded rupub. right. But hopefully with only an amusing nod to the poor rightwing nutjobs who are still battling against the "Enlightnement".

I'm happy with the one we have on the party logo. At least ours doesn't prance around on aircraft carriers in pilot drag declaring "mission accomplished" prematurely.

THANK GOD,HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE YEARS AGO.IT IS PEOPLE'S LIKE HIM THAT GIVE OUR GOVERMENT A BAD NAME.

I can tell you all Robert Byrd is not going anywhere anytime soon. As long as he lives and is healthy to stay in the Senate he has said he will and guess what West Virginia will keep electing him so you all can shut-up about him being KKK and leaving because simply he is not going anywhere anytime soon! HAHA!

Most of the members of the Senate are millionairs, and without knowing if Lott is amoung them,I am still willing to wager that 90 per cent of the American people would financially trade places with him.
For Lott to leave the Senate to get around a law the Senate passed is reprehensible and if Lott voted for that law even more so.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$Greed$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$I hope Barbor can find another greedy Mississippian to fill the spot

And for the last time - it's the "DemocratIC" Party - NOT the "Democrat" party. I refuse to sit idly by while people thoughtlessly us that stupid phrase in an attempt to attack us Democrats. It shows me that you're letting people like Limbaugh and Hannity do your thinking for you.
Posted By Wayne, Greenville TX : November 26, 2007 10:12 am

I've taken to using the term "Publican Party" when talking to any dittohead or Bush "dead-ender" who insists on the childish "Democrat Party" usage. "Publican" is a something of a dirty word in Biblical meaning - publicans in Roman times were tax collectors and (probably overpaid) government contractors.

And it's a polite enough term that it will survive comment moderation - where more accurately descriptive vernacular words beginning with letters like "A" probably won't.

Good riddance!

And to all Republicans who support this wicked man, I say to you: you are truly lost souls. You're hopeless.

So much for the committment to our country these self serving weasles have.
Why do these jerks run for office if they have no intention of completing their term? Don't get me wrong, I don't think much of Trent Lott and even less now. Thanks Trent, for playing your stupid games while the rest of us deal with the expense and disruption surrounding your hijinks.

is is truly incredible news. Even with a replacement, this is another huge headache for the GOP… and check out these race-by-race detailed Senate rankings to see just how much behind the Republicans already are.

This is truly incredible news. Even with a replacement, this is another huge headache for the GOP… and check out these race-by-race detailed Senate rankings to see just how much behind the Republicans already are.

It's a pretty sad comment on American politics today that someone in such a high and powerful position as United States Senator would have to quit and become a lobbyist in order to preserve, or even increase his position of power. This tells me that the most powerful positions in Washington are not with our elected officials, but with the moneyed lobbyists.

Good Riddance…

It seems that Trent Lott's racist views go back long before his comments at Strom Thurmond's birthday, or his speeches at CCC functions. Through Google, I found the following in CNN's archives:

The Pascagoula in which Trent Lott grew up was settled by immigrants from France, Spain, Italy, Lebanon and Yugoslavia. But in Lott's youth, as now, blacks numbered only about 18% of the area's population, and whites didn't feel as threatened as they did in the black-majority counties of the Mississippi Delta. While most neighborhoods were segregated, the largest black precinct was smack in the middle of town, and the races mixed easily on the streets and in factories, where jobs were usually available to all. Lott recalls that "race just wasn't that big an issue for me growing up."

Chris, Middletown, CT

I can actually. The candidate is Ron Paul. The beauty about Paul is that his values are NOT socially moderate (which should appeal to the religions), but his policies ARE socially moderate (which should appeal to the more liberal). Paul is MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH…MUCH more fiscal responsible than Rudy is too.

Good Riddance….. Please Leave NOW!!!!!!!

As one of the new generation Republicans (social liberal and fiscal conservative) - I am happy to see the fringe of our party drying up - Democrats - you are now embracing the left wing…they have defined your party - maybe its time to look to the middle…moderate Republicans believe the same as moderate Democrats….and….there is only one moderate running in either party - Giuliani….social liberal - fiscal conservative (can you say the same about any of the other candidates…in either party??)
Posted By Chris, Middletown, CT : November 26, 2007 9:06 am

I'm assuming you're embracing the "fiscal conservatism = tax cuts" equation that the GOP have been selling for years. The Republicans can't claim to be "fiscally conservative" until they start paying off some of the mountain of debt they racked up during the Reagan and Bush administrations.

As for the Republicans becoming a party of "social liberalism" - let me know when Dobson, Robertson and Perkins don't have their rings kissed by every GOP candidate seeking their endorsement, and maybe I'll believe you.

If you're truly socially "liberal" and fiscally "conservative", I can't for the life of me figure out why you would want to be a member of the current Republican party.

Now that his house has been paid by insurance, while poor folks got screwed. it is time to go for bigger money as a lobbyist. good ridance to a real bigot.

The nerve of the left wing party, the Democrats, to call Trent Lott, a racist, how about the leader of the clan, old SHEETS BYRD!
I wish Trent Lott the best of luck, he has been a great leader in the Republican party, and he will be missed!
As far as the demise of the Republican Party, don't count your chickens, the public is not ready for a bunch of socialist ,that represent the Democrats!

And not a moment too soon.

Yeah…

I'm sure everything will be a lot better under democratic rule…!!!!

You are the same people who think smoking drugs and staying drunk is perfectly OK.

You drug-infested morons will batten down the hatches come 2009, because that's when the REAL fun starts in this country. Better start learning to speak spanish also, because it will become the 2nd official language before Klinton is done…

Wish he'd take the dinosaur from West Virgine with him, then we'd be free of two old fools…………..

Sure, call Trent Lott a racist for some off-comment that was misconstrued. Let's overlook the fact that Strom Thurman was a Democrat when he ran as a segregationist.

Posted By Juan, Fort Lauderdale, FL : November 26, 2007 8:28 amOf course, you'd love us to overlook the fact that Thurmond moved to the GOP precisely because the Democratic party embraced an anti-segregationist policy in the 1960s, as did Lott himself (and Jesse Helms, and a whole slew of others).

Southern white racists spent years in the Democratic party because they couldn't bring themselves to associate with the "party of Lincoln" after the Civil War. But they split the Democratic party over civil rights (see George Wallace), and Nixon and Reagan courted them and welcomed them into the GOP.

Was Byrd a member of the KKK? Sure. But he didn't spend his career attempting to turn back the clock on civil rights the way Thurmond, Lott and Helms have done.

I respect Mr. Lott. He is a scholar and has done his best in public office to help the nation and his state. I disagree with some of his politics–but that is why a two-party system is so successful in this nation. His comments related to the Honorable Mr. Thurmond…were hyped way out of context–and that is sad.

A good man and a good American,,,all you leftwing crazies that tried to label this man a racist is simply ignorant……Trent Lott is a good american.

Hey Juan from Ft Lauderdale Check your dates. Lott's comment was VERY recent and therefore more reprehensible. Byrd's membership and Thurmon's segegationist leanings were long time gone. You must be pretty desperate to have to resort to ancient history.

Good riddance to another bigoted Republican. It'll be nice when these corrupt creeps are out of office.

I heard he and Tom Delay are starting a new band, The K-Street Money Shufflers, Tom on bug sprayer and Trent on blow-hard tuba.

As one of the new generation Republicans (social liberal and fiscal conservative) - I am happy to see the fringe of our party drying up - Democrats - you are now embracing the left wing…they have defined your party - maybe its time to look to the middle…moderate Republicans believe the same as moderate Democrats….and….there is only one moderate running in either party - Giuliani….social liberal - fiscal conservative (can you say the same about any of the other candidates…in either party??)

I think Sen Lott knows that the tsunami is coming. The Republican Party is going to get what it richly deserves in November. So, let's all sing the Republican theme song. All together now…

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, Im gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Insert obligatory 'rat leaves sinking ship' joke here. Reference screen door hitting him on way out.

Mary,

That's not even funny. Well, it is about the woman. I'd quit too. I'm sure he doesn't have any problem with Obama though.

No, there are BIG issues out there right now behind closed doors. Things the media and public will NOT know. Perhaps down the road they will be given tid bits, but rest assure these resignations and changes in government are coming from a higher power. These things are required to cleanse the government and restore confidence. You probably have noticed that mostly GOP members are the ones resigning or terminating their oath. There is a reason for this which people are not aware. It is for everyones good. I know there is much disgust at the moment, but soon everything will be made clear.

Yet another Republican lawmaker jumping ship. They may spout a lot of rhetoric and present a united front, but it is beginning to sound more and more as if their united front is more of a façade in front of a house of cards. They see the handwriting on the wall, and realize that it's time to get out now rather than suffer embarrassing defeats in the next election.

I don't know if Lott was up for re-election next year or not, but either way, it's one more rat off a sinking ship.

Now if the rest of those corrupt Republicans would leave, this country might actually have a chance at rebuilding it's reputation as a world leader and superpower instead of a laughing stock.

Good riddance to the racist.

Senator Lott was just re-elected in 2006 to serve through 2013. Why is he leaving just a year after re-election? This is all very strange. What did he do this time?

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

Trent Lott can't bring himself to surve under a Black or a Woman and he's sure one of the two will win the next election.

Another thing I'm thinking is that you can't believe everything you think and yet…I can't help thinking that.

It is no fun to be republicans in the House or Senate these days. They are required to defend and support a much hated president and an unpopular war, and they lose out to the dems to those high paying and prestigious postings because they control the House and Senate.

The light at the end of the tunnel (next election) is that a train is coming to hit them hard.

"Sparked outrage" Good grief, more selective "outrage" from CNN.

Will Jesse Jackson's political epitaph similarly make reference to his "hymie-town" comments? I bet not.

Sure, call Trent Lott a racist for some off-comment that was misconstrued. Let's overlook the fact that Strom Thurman was a Democrat when he ran as a segregationist. And when Senator Robert Byrd (D), who was a leader of the KKK, used the "N-word" recently during a taped interview, they rewarded him with leadership position.

CNN, however, never tells you about the racist side of the Democrat party, and they will surely take this comment down as soon as its read!

See DC Madam for resignation reason.

Another Dixie Dinosaur bites the Jurassic dust!

Good riddance. Republican or Democrat. One person in the senate that truly shouldn't be there. Wake up Miss.
