So you see no problem with you and the others doing the rats work for them?

None. They are not obsessed with "Rats." Neither am I. They are just interested in doing what seems ethically defensable, and what is the long term impact on the political goals which they wish to foster. What the "Rats" want is irrelevant, and a distraction. In fact, some "Rats" have been defending Lott. Perhaps you missed it. Daschle was for while, and former Senator Simon has been, for example.
