Exactly right. Trent Lott has sold out Republicans time and time again. The Democrats are useful idiots in this regard for helping give Lott the push that Republicans could not without appearing disloyal.
If Lott had previously stood with his party, instead of giving in to Tom Daschle every chance he got, then Bush and others would have thrown their support behind Lott, and this matter would be over.
Really? So Bush was lying the other day when he said that Lott's words were reprehensible? For Bush, this isn't about his words, but about his past leadership?
Remember George W. Bush didn't call for Clinton's conviction, either.
You'll kick Trent Lott out the door because you are still pissed over impeachment! And, if he's branded a racist in the process, you could care less.
Another "canonized conservative." Congratulations, Boy.
