Supposedly Reid should resign, because Trent Lott had to resign. The Republicans should have had enough guts to tell the Democrats and the media to stuff it.
Instead to this day we can depend upon the Republicans to eat their young whenever the media and Democrats tell them to. The Democrats can rely upon arrogance and media allies alone, without any resort to courage, to ride through this issue. They understand the feebleness of their opponents.
“Instead to this day we can depend upon the Republicans to eat their young whenever the media and Democrats tell them to.”
If you go back and look at who was demanding Lott’s scalp you will find that it wasn’t Democrats at all. They took a few cursory shots at him but then they largely ignored him. The people who wouldn’t leave the issue alone was a group of PC Republican activists and commentators who were eager to show how racially sensitive they were. I think you’ll find names like Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt among the pack that was responsible for forcing Lott out.
Reid and Obama themselves said he should resign. Only seems “fair” exercise of Social Justice to demand that these creeps follow their OWN advice on such matters.
