Football season!
Talk about beating a dead horse.. And the republicans go off on the dems about sour grapes after the elections. I suppose he fails to see that by his mistakes and thus "reorganizing" some of the leadership, it is a good thing for the party. I guess he fails to forget that many on the republican side, including the president, didn't like what he said either.. The rest of his ramblings look ok.. But the quote "he [Lott] is a Christian and a man of his word, I don't believe there is a racist bone in his body" Would make you wonder about this guys thinking... the KKK is full of white christians, both republicans and democrats.
As for tax cuts.. There is an intereting article this morning in the paper talking about the GOP governors who are in a bind.. They are still seeing red, and there aren't many programs left they want to cut. So they must decide to raise taxes, or cut some of "their" programs... Will be interesting to which route they take. I personally think that people will want the tax cuts more than the special programs.
Lott Isn't the Racist
Enough with the Trent Lott bashing already. The Democrats took extensive liberty with a statement he made, twisted it, distorted it, then continually bashed Mr. Lott until the media took up the charge, and then they started their own distortions. Eventually Mr. Lott succumbed to the media's lashings and resigned. Mr. Lott publicly apologized for any misinterpretation of his statement -- and since he is a Christian and a man of his word, I don't believe there is a racist bone in his body.
The Democratic leadership and the media are full of hypocrites. Our own lieutenant governor, Michael Steele, was the subject of racially charged comments -- and where was the outcry here in Maryland? Maryland's top Democrat, Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr., called Mr. Steele an Uncle Tom; our congressman Steny Hoyer called Mr. Steele the token black Republican, and the Baltimore Sun stated Mr. Steele didn't bring anything to his office but his skin color. All of these are racist remarks. Seems Miller, Hoyer and the Sun believe a black man can't achieve a position of leadership on his own hard work and merit. How outlandish! Michael Steele has proven time and again he is a leader, intelligent and a man who has served his community, his state and his country impeccably.
The hypocrisy and bigotry in the Democratic Party and media are just mind-boggling, yet it seems everyone wants to ignore it. In my life experience I've found Republicans tend to be the ones who are truly colorblind and judge a person on his merit, while Democrats tend to focus strictly on skin color first.
To switch gears, referring to President Bush's tax cuts, Steny Hoyer is breaking out the tired old, "the tax cuts will go to the rich" mantra. Let's see, eliminating tax on dividends, eliminating the marriage penalty tax, increasing child-care credits and decreasing the top marginal tax rate of 27 percent to 25 percent to name a few, will help many people like me and I'm certainly not rich. Give it a rest, Steny Hoyer; the tax, tax, spend, spend days of the Democratic Party are over.
