All These Problems

We stand for the segregation of the races and the racial integrity of each race.

-- Strom Thurmond, 1948 presidential candidate

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.

-- Trent Lott, Senate Minority Whip
