Trent Lott says GOP straw poll in Memphis is rigged

[quaoar]

It's a bitch when you can't trust election results, ain't it Trent? Maybe Frist hired Diebold to do the counting.

Even before the first vote is cast, a prominent GOP Senator is calling into question the results of a straw poll that will be taken this weekend to gauge the political appeal of potential Republican candidates considering a run for the White House in 2008.

Sen. Trent Lott (R-Mississippi) told the Grind he believes the poll -- that will be conducted by The Hotline at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference -- is "a rigged deal" and should not serve as a barometer to determine who might be the best candidate for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008.

"Frist is bussing people in," Lott said, referring to Senate Majority Bill Frist (R-Tennessee), whose political organization is working to ensure he wins this unscientific early test of election viability. "These are not real delegates. These are people being bussed in to produce the results. It is a rigged deal. It doesn't matter."

Can't resist cheating, even at their own party.

3. Lott and Frist apparently can't stand each other.

Which is odd, since they are both helmet-haired dickwads. It certainly is fun to watch Lott try to kick Frist's ass. I do rather hope Dr. Frist-Mengele gets the Rep nomination, cuz that would be like shooting retarded fish in a very small barrell.

9. Lott's just pissed he was forced out after his Thurmond gaffe.

Bill Frist took Lott's position after he got the boot.

4. God, that's funny. Lott *really* hates Frist for stealing his job

and I wouldn't doubt that the clown would bus in votes.

[Guckert]

Thats a lot of short busses

5. Depend on it

If the Repub culture of corruption is involved, its rigged

6. Bwahahahahaha....

7. I never thought I would see the day that I could say that

I sort of like Trent Lott (NOT). ....Maybe just a little, now and then.

8. And see what Tweety is calling this sham on MSNBC

Picking the next president

What a condescending cocksucker.


Can't WAIT to see ratings on this fiasco.

10. Goddamn, these people can't even run an honest election for their own.

What a joke. Lott and McCain whining that Frist the cat killer brought in a load of ringers to tilt the election his way.

Enjoy it Cat Killer, this is the last election you'll ever win.

13. I see his remark as the first public admission by a Repug

that their party rigs votes.
