Funny how one dumbass comment can knock down the house of cards, huh?

But after seeing Sharpton last night on H&C, I am convinced this isn't about a racist comment, especially since this is a party who believed and forgave Clinton and fought against impeachment. Make no mistake. This is about power. The Dems lost it and want it back. So either the Dems get their wish and Lott resigns the Seante- and they ultimately win, or the Republicans stand and fight against this obvious power play.

"Make no mistake. This is about power."

I understand completely. The Lott just gave it back to them, de facto. Don't kid yourself. He stays and the next GOP Senate will not resemble anything conservative. I would call Lott's bluff, which Bush and the other true leadership in the GOP Senate will do if it hasn't yet. One of the Lott's staffers said yesterday that he would never hand his seat to a RAT governor in Mississippi. He will not end up as Leader but will remain in the Senate. It's too predictable now. Lott can threaten all he wants, but he has nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. No one but the Senate will have him at this point. Racist-smeared, GOP wimps with no pull anymore aren't that attractive as lobbyists and the Lott has no more appeal to Mississippians, other than RATS, after handing the Senate to RATS. Won't happen.

or the Republicans stand and fight against this obvious power play.

You are correct - but someway in a few months - we must get rid of Lott because he is not trustworthy in our fights with the dems. He caves in their favor and we pay the price. I don't expect Bush to feel kindly about a man who negotiates away the gains we fought so hard to make.

Yet, IMHO, we must stand up to the dems.

Two reasons

- against the PC movement that gets stronger and stronger and takes away our freedom of speech, thought, votes. Votes 30 years ago are coming back to haunt today's politicians. That is a travesty being used to "control" who gets to lead. Of course those doing the "controlling" are always the liberals.

- against the dems in their efforts to destroy our members in any way possible to gain back power. Since elections failed, vote fraud failed, their only option is to push out or switch enough members with an "R" after their name to regain control to prevent conservative judges being installed, to prevent any damage to abortion rights, to prevent another loss like they had in these elections.
