Conservatives and Republicans must stand up to these double standards and race baiting tactics

I am glad republicans are held to a high standard. It only makes us better, tougher. Democrats have lost their way by failing to punish their racist miscreants (or other miscreants). Lott is not fit to lead us. As long as we hold ourselves to a high standard, we will never be the embarassement to our god, country, families or our own sense of well being the way the democrats are.

If the LEADER of the PARTY in the Senate would even CONSIDER throwing the game to the opposition, that is prima facie evidence of his unfitness.

>>>I am glad republicans are held to a high standard.

Me too. But the Lott incident had nothing to do with being held to higher standards. It had everything to do with Democrats being angered over their losing the recent election cycle. The liberal establishment, saw an opportunity to take advantage of a situation and fanned the flames of racial passions. Immediately afterwards, the entire event snowballed, out of control.

>>>Lott is not fit to lead us.

I called for Lott to step down after the Jeffords fiasco. However, I don't want the liberal estrablishment to dictate the terms of Lott's surrender. That's exactly, what has happened here.

Having said that, Lott's pandering on BET, really pissed me off. It's up to the GOP Senators to decide if Lott should stay, or go. It looks like Lott wants to fight. We shall see.
