Funny how "principles" come out suddenly when here, at least, EVERYONE called for Lott's head just two months ago. Now its about "immigration?" Gimme a break.
As for Lott's statement about "putting troops on the border," why would you trust what he said about that when (if you are one of those calling for his ouster just months ago) he was not credible then. I want to know where all these people who suddenly find Lott such a STRONG and CREDIBLE leader were last year?
No, you immigration guys are way off base on this one. It has nothing whatsoever to do with immigration, in any way shape or form. Honestly, some of you are getting as bad as the pro-life kooks, about whom EVERY SINGLE thing in Washington revolves.
Immigration is an issue. We need to deal with it. But it is completely separate from this Lott thing. Rush is right, this needs to be attacked head-on as being about race and hypocrisy, and to muddy the waters with immigration reduces the important debate we need to have about both issues.
Did you even bother to read my post? I have never on this board called for Lott's ouster. I said in my post there were things I didn't agree with Lott about. Did I say he was a "STRONG and CREDIBLE" leader? No.
However, just because I don't agree with some of his stands on the issues, I don't go jumping into bed with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Nancy Pelosi to destroy him. Disagreeing with him is no excuse for gleefully betraying him to the Republican party's enemies.
Now that this has worked so well for the dems, I'm sure they are already sharpening their knives and picking out their next target. Maybe their victim will be a pro-life "kook", and you'll be able to rationalize helping them lynch another republican leader.
You are partially right that immigration is a sepreate issue from this. But I see a time not too far down the road when hispanic groups will be enthusiastically hounding Politicians out of office using the same racial tactic that has worked so perfectly with Lott.
After all, we've handed them the poisoned dagger, why shouldn't they use it?
