Do you not count it as offensive when absolutely no African-Americans at all vote for any Republicans in vast areas of the country?

Look, everybody has known since time began, if you want respect, you have to earn it, and when it comes to politicians and voters, politicians respect voters. People who don't vote for them don't necessarily get respect.

Personally I don't care what African-Americans think about a guy they don't vote for - he already knows what they think. As far as being offended, it's been the Republicans, not the African-Americans, who have been accused of starving babies, taking medicine away from old people, and forcing raped women to bear unwanted babies. Oh, yes, must add, it's been the African-American DEMOCRATS making such accusations along with their running dog "white liberal guilt" lackies in the media.

I'm not being rude but [even if that were true] that has nothing to do with this subject. Lott's actions are Lott's actions.

"Look, everybody has known since time began, if you want respect, you have to earn it, and when it comes to politicians and voters, politicians respect voters. People who don't vote for them don't necessarily get respect."

So what?

"Personally I don't care what African-Americans think about a guy they don't vote for - he already knows what they think."

Something else that doesnt have anything to do with this. Your judgement seems to be clouded by some sort of bitterness.

Some of you guys cant help but get bogged down in the "personal" side of this. Lose that. Look at this mathmatically. 1+1=2. Lott remaining as a leader equals the media and the Liberals continueing to have a toe-hold in accusing Conservatives of having an inherent slant against minorities.

Whether it is true or not is of little consequence in politics. It is the perception that now has one more ember to burn.

Lott has to go. He either goes now...or he will go later and so will other Conservatives simply because of their association with him.

Some of you guys are willing to win a battle and lose the War. Lott put his own foot in his own mouth. The media didnt say it. Jesse Jackson didnt say it. Lott said it...

...this is the outcome of it.
