I am constantly amazed when FReepers are incredulous that the Dems would stoop so low. They are at WAR with us. They will stop at nothing. They have no scruples. They will lie, they will cheat, they will commit voter fraud, they will drag people through the mud, ...in short they will do whatever it takes to remove your freedom.

The Republican's biggest mistake is playing by the rules. This reminds me of when Clinton was nailing everything in sight and Gingrich and Livingston (sp?) resigned. Lott should have said "I will resign as ML as soon as Byrd leaves the Senate, Clinton apologizes for his Fullbright (sp?) comments, and Jackson explain his hymietown comments. Until then you can all kiss my Mississipi white snake". Unfortunately he is a wuss and is incapable of disproportionate retaliation which is the only thing that stops bullies.

Probably the same ones who think it was a good policy to laugh at the democrats

Let's Get it straight: The Republicans is the responsibility party.

The fact that Democrat defended a perjurer and have race-baiters like Jesse "hymietown" Jackson in their ranks is a reason to NOT follow their example.

Our better example would be to find better leaders when the current ones display a failure to convey our true message and fail to represent us well. Lott is, unfortunately an albatross.

holding on to Lott.

Didnt we already lose Louisiana Senate race because of this?

This is all a bit 'unfair' to Trent Lott, who has done some spineless things and some great things. But unfair or not, we can do better.

RE # 24:

Absolutely correct! The correct reposnse from day one would have been to attack, recall and expose and quote repeatedly the statements you mention (plus Hitlery's f****** j** b*****!) and not apologize! Sheesh! Turn the tables on the fanatics themselves! Imagine this, the fanatical Left, foaming at the mouth succeeds in painting a somnambulistic, mellow wuss as a fanatic. And we let'em!

Our better example would be to find better leaders when the current ones display a failure to convey our true message and fail to represent us well. Lott is, unfortunately an albatross and will allow leftwing Democrats to perpetuate the lie that the GOP is racist.
