I see later down in your post that you are one of those still pi$$ed about impeachment. Figures.
Please make Nick Danger's post true. I am very tired and would like to rest. Oh, and thanks for a beautiful day.

Now tell me, mhking, mafree, swheats, T Lady, & Trueblackman, what's the point of us remaining around here?
I desire a sincere answer from you all, if I may. Straight up.
101 things that the Mozilla browser can do that Internet Explorer cannot.
I totally agree with you my friends.
That isn't the problem. The problem is if the Democrats gain more votes from teh black community through higher voter turn-out. The support for Democrats and Republicans is so close to 50/50 that voter turn-out is very important. Simply look at the recent LA run-off election for evidence of what high black voter turn-out (turned against the GOP) can mean for Republicans.
I don't care about the GOP or whether it holds 'the majority' or not. But what the GOP is doing to Lott (supposedly one of their own) is more disgusting and more pathetic than I thought possible. If I was Lott I would stop this 'apologizing circus', cancel the BET (a segregated, openly racist media outlet) apparition and let the RNC know that Lott's public lynching would be automatically followed by Lott's publicly leaving the 'stupid' party.
Please post the quote where Bush says Lott should remain as Senate Majority Leader. I don't believe he said that, much as "clearly" as you put it.
Prez. Bush can't tell the Legislative Branch how to organize itself. He's Executive - a different branch, that is. Unless we're under Martial Law.
------------------------------------
At least a partial lucid voices here for the first time concerning the issue.
As to the initial question, the answer is because people have been conditioned to panic into hysterial at accusations of racism.
In 90% of the black community people such as Jesse Jackson and Kweisi Mfume are considered the voices of moderation. In order to obtain any further Black support Republicans will need to become Bill Clintons and Ted Kennedys. That's a fact of life. If that is done, the Democrats will just move farther to the political and countercultural left to counter it and Republicans will still lose. Moreover, that move by the Republicans will alienate increasing proportions of sane people in America, which is what they have been doing and why voter turnouts are so low. The mainstream of America has been left with nobody to appeal to them.
Say what? This ain't about race or racism, it's about power.
Let's say a Supreme Court justice has a fatal heart attack next week or month....then what?
To me, this is a deperate dem power grab and has nothing to do with Lott's actual comments or racism. It is the sheep's clothing that AL, Jesse, and Maxine wear to start the racial blackmail.
