I think we are missing the point here. This whole Lott issue is not about Democrats it is about Republicans.

Those who look and say there is a double standard and whine and complain and say "but the Democrats do it why can't we" are just as bad as the RATS themselves. You sound like they did on Nov. 6. Blaming everyone but themselves.

The Republican party has been a haven for racists for decades (regardless of whether there are also RAT racists as well). We are finally in a position to leave that legacy behind and Lott is being put up as a sacrifice for the greater good of the party.

If he were defended and allowed to stay on (as justice would dictate, but not political necessity), it would be used by the media as "proof" that Republicans are only interested in helping rich white people get richer and continue to harbor the attitudes of the past century. We cannot allow this lie to continue to be spread and that means holding ourselves to a higher standard and watching what we say.

Republicans have always been held to a higher standard (partly because we want it that way) and so I say to all of you who feel the need to point this difference out - get over it.

The RATS have gone far with their lies about being the party of inclusion. Republican tolerance of racists in our midst have let them get away with it for far too long. There is a purging going on and it is about time. Once the myth of a hidden racist agenda is disavowed, the clear contrast between the values of America's largest parties will become more evident and the one that truly represents the best interests of the American people will grow stronger.

Lott is but a nail in the coffin of Republican racism. G.W.B. is the hammer.

I can't speak for others, but I am not saying we should do it also .. I can handle being held responsible for our actions as a party.

All I ask is that the Democrats held responsible for theirs

Regardless of who says it, it is wrong .. but at the same time I do realize that the Dems will never take responsibility

Because for them to do so, they would first have to learn what responsibility meant

OK, I've had enough. The way people talk these days you'd think there never were any racists. People say things like "I grew up in the south but my family wasn't racist." Puh-leeze. It's like the good germans after WWII. "I good Cherman... no nazis here". You'd have thought there never were any nazis.

I guess I'm a racist. When I was a kid I got ganged up on by blacks and I did NOT have a good opinion of "their kind". I got over that -- many of our generation applauded Dr. King and his call for a color-blind society. But then it turned into cultural blackmail. And like any other kind of blackmail enough is never enough. The black victicrats keep pushing for more... more... more. I believe that affirmative action has been responsible more than anything else for the degradation of the ability of our most important institutions to perform effectively -- especially government, medicine, and law. The racial bullcrap and coddling of criminals has ruined law enforcement because the black community chooses to be proud of being vicious killers and criminals. The illegals storming the borders are stressing our system even further.

I must be a racist. I believe that the evil race hustlers are coming for everything I have and stand for. Enough already. I have extraordinary respect and admiration for MEN like Dr. Williams, Justice Thomas, and Secretary Powell, but I say NOT ONE DIME MORE for the cowardly black racists like Jackson, Sharpton, and Lee and the fools they represent. They want a war. We need to give it to them.
