Your right, your free to say that you will dump the party if the party dumps lott as leader. Some might perceive such actions to be childish.
I could give a rats a** what some people think about my actions. I didn't care when I was protesting Bubba Clinton on the streets of Kansas City and Tallahassee Florida and I sure as hell don't care what some RINO thought police think about me either! I'll be screwed if I give my vote to a party that hounds a member out of office because he might have committed a 'thought crime'!
Hell if I want to go along with that kind of thinking, I might as well vote democrat and drop the hypocrisy, ya know what I mean?
