As long as he remains in place, he, (and Republicans by extension) is a lightning rod for continued liberal attacks. He needs to step down so this issue can be put to rest.
Would you continue to serve?
Intelligent people can handle things intelligently. Lott can step down as Majority Leader graciously, and continue to serve, without coming out and "admitting he's a racist."
Lott has already humiliated himself, and his party, with his words. If he has any cojones, he would swallow his pride and stay on for the good of his party (and his country).
And, just exactly how would he do that, with the press and the Black Caucus hounding him every day?

Swallow his pride for the good of his party? What kind of dumbass are you?
You know what I would do if I were Lott? I'd tell all you dumb-sh*ts to pound sand.
Trent Lott could make millions in the private sector as a lobbyist.
Why would he put up with the grief and humiliation from the likes of you?
Problem here is that if he steps down .. he will step out of the Senate
And the Dems know this .. why do you think the are pushing this issue ..
If the Dems were really outraged over what they think was a racist comment .. they then need to have a long talk with members of there current party
