I hate top see a man railroaded like this.

There is a double standard, no doubt about it. However, I take great pride in the fact that Republicans discipline their own. I do not see this as railroading; it was an incredibly stupid thing to say. While I think the argument logically could have been made that the context, Thurmond's party, provided an alternative way of viewing what he said, Drudge's revelations nix that. This is his own doing. Even Fred Barnes and Mort Kondracke on FNC, supported by Brit Hume, were troubled by this. Mort said it best. To have even said this as a mistake must mean that somewhere deep in his soul is something he may not realize exists--and that Lott needs to do some soul-searching. I am very proud to be a Republican to hear these voices question him. Lott did this to himself. I can't help that the liberal press would have given a Dem a pass; that's another issue. Lott deserves what he is getting.

I know I watched that show. He did do this to himself, and he will have to reap the wirlwind. HOWEVER (as much as I love to listen to them) where were they when a racial slur was said on national TV by the senate pro tem. If we let the byrd comment go by saying at least were not them. We have doomed ourselves to be attacked relentlesly by the lib media. When ashcroft brought out the carnahan blackface it helped to deter some of the dem race baiting. He can step down, but it has to come with a fight on byrds comments. Let the Naacp et al defend it.

Every one of you Lott trashers are disgusting. This is exactly one of the times when the entire party should rally against the Democrats and throw their political grandstanding back in their faces.

Tossing Lott overboard at this time is proof we don't deserve the majority.

The Democrats are using this as their first shot in the '04 election and their politicizing needs to be turned on them like a cannon to blow their lying heads off.
