He is not a bigot. He said a bone-headed comment. Lott was what, 7 years old in 1948? You are GIVING the senate back to the dems by demanding Lott resign.

I have never seen one Freeper ask Lott to leave the Senate. We just don't want him leading our party. We will retain a 2-vote majority.

However. If we keep Lott as our leader, we will most likely lose the Senate and the House in 2004. It's not just the minority vote. White, middle-of-the-road voters will not support a party they perceive to be tolerant of racism.

Why on earth is Lott -- who has brought this party nothing but failure and incompetence -- worth squandering our fragile majority? Especially since he will spend all his time pandering to the Maxine Waters' of the world?

If Lott steps down from majority leader, why should he stay in the senate?? If he is too prejudiced to be the majority leader, isn't he also too prejudiced to be a senator???

Wanna guess what Jesse and Al will say?? They want him to step down because a dem in Mississippi can then appoint a new DEM senator.

POOF! What fragile majority? Say hello to majority leader senator Daschle.

The Lott case is a defining moment for the Republican Party. So far Bush and the Republican Senate are failing the challenge. I'm ashamed of them.
