Yup. No one thinks Lott is a racist. But he certainly is stupid and stupidity has no place in national leadership. In the 21st century I don't want the GOP associated with racism and segregation. The last thing I want to see is conservatives associate with all the reactionary worst of the Jim Crow South. Let the Democrats have their wackos, loonies, and misfits. And in the meantime we'll try to run like hell away from ours. We don't want them, period.

Lott should not step down; he should not offer any more apologies-this matter is done! We should judge people based on their hearts and actions, and unlike many of his detractors, Trent Lott has no history of being a racist."
