What about you? You're fighting a lonely battle here too?
I've got two days of meetings, and I won't miss this place one damn bit.
Maybe people that I admire will come to their senses by Friday.
It is really hard to understand how ordinarily rational conservatives cannot see what the agenda is, and how this will play out if Lott is forced to resign.
Sometimes I think these people have a political death wish. Just when the GOP gets into a position to positively affect the country, they're willing to flush it all because they finally see some way to get Trent Lott over impeachment, or over whatever weaknesses he has displayed.
Phil Gramm's my kind of Senator; I really don't care personally for Trent Lott one way or another. But I'd tell Sheila Jackson Lee to kiss my big bu** before I would allow spaceship-head to force me to leave over an innocent remark.
I expect Sheila Jackson Lee to get hysterical; I don't expect Poohbah, and Travis McGee and others on this site to lose all sense of proportion over a tribute to an old man!
I couldn't agree with you more sinkspur, If we allow the Left to demonize Lott over a off-hand remark that could be taken in many ways would be political suicide. Lott apologized and it should be left at that. We have to stand up for Lott at this point, Otherwise we once gain have allowed the RATS to kick us in the groin
