I am a republican and I believe the Democrats have serious problems with their partys leadership but I wouldn't follow Trent Lott or Dennis Hastert out of a fire. The whole senate and house leadership is a bunch of idiots.
I've never heard either of these two stand up against the dims forcefully.
Agree with you on Lott and Hastert.
I'd like to see Nickles and DeLay as the top Republicans, though.
