So, I take it Daschle can run as an ardent anti-Communist, considering what you think of him.

Personally, I think it's rather frightening that someone who ran on a ticket in 1948 is still in office!

He's been dead for quite sometime if it makes you feel better. They just forgot to remove the body until now.

Although I'm probably closer to the Commie Party platform... I'd vote against them. The idea that there is no private property/possessions is just stupid.

Which is why they don't hold that idea.

Chris, Yeah, well, I know of people who think Reagan was a communist. Truman did a fairly decent job of smashing the American communist movement.

The more and more I learn about the Commies, the less and less they sound like Commies. Perhaps you guys should change your name to shake the stereotypes.

It's a frequent call, but imagine if I called myself something other than a commie. Everyone else would still call me a commie, and then I'd just look disingenuous.

Well, technically he isn't anymore. His term ended this year and he has been replaced by Lindsay Graham.

Frankly, I think that if you have a minimum age requirement to be a Senator, you should have a maximum too. Having a 100-year-old senator who is so decrepit he's basically a living marionette for his advisors is just not healthy for the government.

I think 80 should be the cut-off. Then we could take care of Byrd and Hollings, too!

Well, they backed the wrong horse. Look on the bright side; he may be a jackass with possible racist leanings, but at least he was an effective politican. The Dems only had Daschle.


If the GOP decides to replace Lott as Majority Leader, who do you think will fill the void? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it won't be McCain...

I always thought 'educated' and 'racist' were mutually exclusive...and that 'racist' and 'idiot' were synonymous.

Well, I saw the press conference, Lott handled it ok until the end, when some guy working for Al Sharpton started yelling stuff out, but it was hard to understand him.

Just my impression, but this matter looks dead, Lott basically said "I was trying to make the old guy happy, and ended up saying an incredible stupid and insensitive thing".

If the Dems keep pressing this, they are pretty much wasting thier time in my opinion.

Then you've clearly never heard of David Irving.

Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, Violet Trefusis, Vita Sackville-West- all of them have come out with some anti-semitic gems, for instance. And yet, all received better than average educations, and can't be assumed to be idiots.

Plenty of Afrikaaners, Americans, British, French, Japanese, Chinese, et al., all held (hold?) racist beliefs whilst simultaneously being educated to university level- the Japanese for instance, were held to be unsuited (by virtue of their race) to aerial warfare, or warfare in the jungle, and yet strangely did rather well at both.

Just yesterday I was watching footage of a black South African who was telling of how in the days of apartheid, he received music tuition from a white man, and was frequently stopped by police because it was assumed that a young black could not legitimately be carrying a violin case, as it was 'well known' blacks did not have the mental capacity to play such an instrument. He used to placate the police by playing Afrikaaner folksongs, saying that they wouldn't have appreciated his playing Bach anyway- which I thought was rather amusing.

Consider also the extent to which otherwise well-educated intelligent Germans would blind themselves to the illogicalities of Nazi science and racial beliefs; racism is really not the sole prerogative of the uneducated.
