Okay, now you've succeeded in ousting Lott, what's next? Back to power sharing and maybe with another jumper say hello to ML Daschle

Looks like the only jumper we have to worry about is Lott. The others are not goign to jump. They remember what happened to Jeffords and they dont want to join him in siberia in 2004 when we retake the majority should their flip cause us to lose it.

What next? Vote on a new Majority Leader. Prove to all that are watching that we are the Party of Lincoln, not a party of racists. That unlike the Dems, we wont even accept the appearance of racism in our leaders. Then we pass Bush's agenda and collect the rewards in 2004.

And your idea is to stay holed up, fighting with the Dems saying your guys just as bad as my guy. Remember that Gingrich Dole guy that ran for President in 96. Your way every member of Congress would become a Lott Republican. I think most would prefer to be a Bush Republican. Look what happened in 2002.

You're so right - I'm disgusted by those casting their Lott by using Clintonian tactics of smear the other side.

If Lott deserved our defense and support, he would be getting it. This isn't about what the Dems are doing, it is about what the right thing is, politically and otherwise. LOTT MUST GO!!!

Please point me to where I've made that statement or indicated that is what I prefer to do..... I'm sure you have it marked somewhere as you are acting if you are quoting a context.

Sadly, such sentiments are passing for political acumen in some quarters.
