Likewise, you would be correct railing against someone who has decided that Lott is a racist, should resign as MJ on moral grounds, but should stay in the Senate to preserve the GOP majority. But I think most of Lott's conservative critics see this as the latest, most telling display of his terrible judgement.
The GOP has never been good at separating issues and dealing with it's own and I fear the repercussions.
Well, as P.J. O'Rourke once said, the Republican Party campaigns on the notion that government doesn't work - and then gets elected and proves just that. So I think this muddling is inherent to the party, and just something we'll always have to deal with. The Dems may excel at marching in lockstep, but I really don't care to go there - I'll take some chaos any day of the week over their goosestepping...

I can accept this, though I wish we could have dealt with the leadership issue outside the "Big Top". I guess we deal with the hand dealt us.
