If Lott leaves the Senate, the Senate goes to effectively a 50:50 split since the Mississippi governor would appoint a democrat to fill Lott's seat.

Then we make sure that Lott understands that resigning the seat entails some really negative consequences for himself.

Just how is the conservative agenda going to move forward?

It ain't going to move forward at all with this jackass in charge.

Within the agenda, how do you expect Bush to get his judicial appointments through the Senate judiciary committee?

How do you expect to get them through a 49-vote Democrat filibuster?

This country has far more important issues to deal with than some poorly chosen words from Trent Lott.

Yeah, I noticed. Mind explaining why Lott didn't?

The hate which is spewed from the left on a daily basis is far worse.

Yeah, go use the "so's yer old man!" argument.

I have news for you--that argument does not work.

The democrats see an opportunity to at least get a split in power in the Senate.

Except for a few voices, very few people here are looking at the motives behind the attacks on Trent Lott.

And you don't get it. The Democrats want to make Lott the issue for the next two years. With Lott out of the leadership circle, that issue goes away.

The issue goes away??? That's not how the democrats play ball. If they believe it will get votes, the democrats will use this issue in the 2004 campaign regardless of whether Lott stays or goes. The democrats are trying to attach the "bigot" or "racist" label to all republicans--not just Trent Lott.

The democrats can say and do anything they want with no consequences (e.g., Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Bill Clinton, etc.). As soon as Kennedy and Byrd resign their seats, I will support Lott's resignation from the Senate.

So you prefer blackmail from the Dems rather than our own Lott?

We are seeing the desperate dems at work here. Don't you think they will pull this same stuff on another weak spot? We do need to make them see this race baiting is going to cost them more than it does us.
