The problem with Lott is that he is a terrible leader and a political nitwit. He sold the pubs down the river in 2000 and was rewarded with the defection of Jeffords and an illegitimate takeover of the senate by democrats who at least know that this is war.
Lott let the Clinton impeachment trial become a joke. Certainly we may not have been able to get 67 votes to impeach the b--tard, but because of Lott THERE WASN"T EVEN A TRIAL!
Lott is a MINORITY Leader. He will ALWAYS be a Minority leader. If the Republicans had 70 seats, Lott would make sure that the Republicans acted and looked like the MINORITY Party.
Lott is not fit to lead a boy scout troop. This is a great opportunity for the pubs to pull the plug on this faux-conservative faux-republican faux-leader.
We need leadership. We don't need Headlines.
If Lott says he will resign the Senate if he doesn't get his way, then let him. We'll deal with. We'll deal with it like men. Let us not cave into blackmail by cry babies.
