Trent Lott A Liberal?
Is the Great Former Majority Leader a Closet Liberal?
That's what James Dobson, head of Focus on the Family (e.g. radical right wingnut) seems to think. Why? Because Mr. Lott had the gall to try to find a consensus or compromise to head off the radical rights plan to defuse the filibuster. That's just how weird things are in DC lately, anyone (regardless of their previous support of the Party) is painted as a traitor and liberal if the don't support 100% of the far rights (and to a lesser extent, the President's) agenda. Trent Lott is many things, but he is not a liberal.
I totally agree! Who the hell is Mr. Dobson and who does he think he is telling us who is Christian, pro-family and republican?!

Money Quote:"James Dobson: Who does he think he is, questioning my conservative credentials?" Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said in an interview. Dobson, head of the conservative group Focus on the Family, criticized Lott for his efforts to forge a compromise in the fight over the judges. Lott is still angry. "Some of his language and conduct is quite un-Christian, and I don't appreciate it," the senator said.
I totally agree! Who the hell is Mr. Dobson and who does he think he is telling us who is Christian, pro-family and republican?!
