I wish to God Republicans would get past their dislike of Lott and move on to the bigger issue here- responding to absolutely ridiculous charges from liberals. If any of you who think this will end if Lott resigns, you have another thing coming because they are going to go after every single Republican nominated from here on out.

This isn't about a stupid comment from Lott.

This isn't about getting a majority leader with a spine, as some have said.

This is about standing up for what is right. And by wanting Lott to resign, every single one of you are playing into Democrat hands.

This is about EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN growing a spine and fighting back against absolutely baseless and false allegations from a corrupt group of liberals who can not face the reality of a Republican majority. The stereotype against Republicans will not change until we challenge them, and set the record straight.

Now those of you who dislike Lott can ride this issue to Lott's demise. But I for one am not going to let the Democrats continue to foster the completely false stereotype that Republicans are racist.

I understand you, really, truly and honestly I do.

And if it had been a one time thing, I'd agree.

The bad thing is that he is a Senator, and knows what this history is - and said it anyway, not thinking about it. In my book, to say it and not care makes him either bindingly stupid or a racist - there is no third option. And my money is on him harboring some deep seated junk.

Should we have jettisoned Strom ages ago? You bet. We pay that price now, of all times.

I don't think he should quit the Senate - we need the votes - but he is a limping duck, I'd be willing to wager - and distance isn't bad.

Sorry - doesn't mean I'm any less fond of ya.

The biggest, most effective weapon of the extreme leftist, socialist, and liberal screw worms, is the word "racist and racism" And they use this weapon routinely, at will, on anyone that does not agree with their agendas. It's truly the weapon of choice.

re your post #271

I totally agree with your assessment of the situation. The liberals will never stop with these bogus attacks.

I am in awe at how Republicans are so willing to eat their own at the drop of a hat. The Democrats never ever do this when one of theirs steps into it.

Maybe if Lott had committed some crime I would be more willing to feed him to the wolves. I am not saying that the Republicans would not be better served by having someone else take the majority leader position in the Senate. The decision and timing of a change in leadership should be on the Republican timetable, not when the opposition demands it for whatever trumped-up reasons.
