Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Well if Lott has to go Byrd has to hit the door right behind him.

Thanks for the ping, however I will not sign this petition... I don't think it is helpfull to point fingers at others to take (well deserved) heat off yourself..

Do I think Lott is racist? No. Do I think his remarks were not well thought out before they were made? Absolutely.

When an person holds a such an honorable position in our government they must be VERY careful about what they say.. Simply because "bad speeches" can't be unspoken... I think it would reflect great credit on the Republican Party to ask Sen. Lott to step down from his Leadership position. Not because he is a racist but simply because it brings DOUBT in the mind of some Americans and that alone is enough IMHO.. we have plenty of great leaders in the Senate that would not have this baggage. If Republicans allow Sen. Lott to continue to be Majority Leader it WILL interfere with our ability to get our legislative agenda passed.
