ORIGINAL: corysub The Obama Administration is a gift that never stops giving! Now the Presidents nominee for head of the Office of Management and Budget may withdraw due to "tax problems"...Jesus..don't any of these democrats who love to raise taxes for the working man pay THEIR taxes!!???? Geithner, Daschle, Killfeer.....who is next?? Could you imagine if Cheney had not paid even $10,000 in taxes due....Chris Matthews, Olbmernann and Maddow would want his balls cut off. Trent Lott was forced out of office for a joke at a party...and these criminals are being chosen to lead the country towards "change"..WTF.... Sure didn't sound like a joke to me then...................still doesn't now. CNN.com - Lott apologizes for Thurmond comment - Dec. 10, 2002 Lott, R-Mississippi, made the comment Thursday on Capitol Hill during a 100th birthday celebration for Thurmond, who is retiring next month after nearly 48 years in the Senate. The comment was broadcast live on C-SPAN. "I want to say this about my state: When Strom Thurmond ran for president, we voted for him. We're proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed our lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years, either," Lott said at last week's party. Thurmond ran as the presidential nominee of the breakaway Dixiecrat Party in the 1948 presidential race against Democrat Harry Truman and Republican Thomas Dewey. He carried Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and his home state of South Carolina, of which he was governor at the time. During the campaign, he said, "All the laws of Washington and all the bayonets of the Army cannot force the Negro into our homes, our schools, our churches." Thurmond's party ran under a platform that declared in part, "We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race." You are going to compare tax evasion to a guy who made a comment at the Strom Thurmond's birthday party! Is that all it takes these days to get someone knickers in a bunch...Any facts to support that Trent Lott actually was a racist? If you are going to judge every southerner for actions over the years since reconstruction we might as well seperate out into the gray and blue again. Seems democrats harp on every word uttered by a republican, demand death, firing, or dismemberment, and yet look the other way and honor people like Sen. Robert Byrd, a former leader in the KKK, or a Jessie Jackson who refered to NYC as "Himmie Town". If you want to pick on a racist party...look to the democrats who had a Governor stand in the door to block little children from entering a school because of their color, or a democrat Congress that fought the Civil Rights Act of 1964! Sorry...I don't by todays thinly guised hatred for Bush, for republican, for anyone to the right of Barney Frank as a reason for concern over racism. Not these days, and not after white people elected a black president. I think the Obama is a 100% threat to the economic health and safety of our country...but that opinion is based on his radical life history...not the color of his black father. And I sure as hell don't like him 50% because he is half white!...his color is a "distraction" used by liberals.
