1. In return for Jeffords' endorsement, Jumpin' Jim will probably receive a cushy committee seat.
2. In order to "prove" he's not racist, Lott will back every act sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus. I expect him to praise affirmative action on this hour-long mea culpa on BET.
3. How will the GOP get any conservative judges approved without now-believable allegations of racism? How many Senate battles will we lose completely due to Lott's gaffe?
4. As a Maj. Leader with strong support, Lott scuttled impeachment, agreed to power sharing with Daschle, lost the Senate majority to the Democrats, tried to delay the Homeland Security Act and has proven to be the ultimate waffler. How many more compromises will he make as a weak leader who dearly owes so many senators for their support?
5. Because of one bizarre comment, Lott has plunged a soaring party into disarray. What exactly has Lott ever done to deserve our loyalty? If Bush or Cheney or McConnell or Frist were under attack, our party to fight to the death for them. Does Lott -- Lott of all people--deserve any support from conservatives?
6. Since Lott has never done anything for conservatism, is this toupeed mediocrity's career path and selfish ambition worth losing the senate and the House in 2004?
7. Which party is being "cleansed"? How many of you... truly don't believe Lexus searches were run throughout last week? How far back was too far back during the Clinton administration? As many in our who were victims, what did the Leftists gain? What does it say to you... about today?
8. If you... are going to allow the Leftists (who assert they are free of segregation and racism) to publicly assault our party without demanding they look in their own mirror, what have you... accomplished?
You're the one in disarray. The GOP is doing fine. If you wild-eyed nincompoops would just cool you rhetorical jets, things would begin to die down. Instead, of dredging up everything you can find to slam Lott with, show some support and fight the liberal esatblishment. The leftwing is loving every minute of this.
