Lott borked himself. Blaming the Democrats is like blaming the cow for the manure on your boot.
Doesn't anybody see what's really going on here? The rats don't care if Lott goes or stays, and they don't care if they can use this "issue" in 2004. They want to force the Republicans to"prove" that they aren't bigots by agreeing to the liberal agenda on everything from the minimum wage to affirmative action to welfare, free medical care, abortion, etc., etc., etc..
Once they're done with Lott, they'll Bork someone else. They can't be allowed to succeed, even if their success carries with it the positive effect of getting rid of Trent the Roundheeled. They must be defeated every time they do this. That's the big picture.
