I have real mixed feelings about this. On the one hand I think it is awful for conservatives to shoot their wounded. On the other Trent has not acted as a conservative since he became leader.

Another thought. Why is that everyone seems to be a big expert on what Lott meant by his statement. I would think the worlds leading expert on what Lott meant would be Lott.

Lott's the only one who put Lott in this situation. Lott is the only one who could do the right thing and step down and stop the slow bleed brought about by Lott.

If Lott wants to endlessly defend Lott, because of Lott's stupid remarks, then Lott should step down and defend Lott on Lott's own time, not ours.

That is my feeling on Lott.

If you read his quote, the words are pretty clear. That's the problem. It is impossible to misinterpret them. I don't think we are eating our own. I think we are holding one of our own accountable - something the RATS do not do. That's what makes us different from them. Having Lott step down as ML would send a message to the country that this President and this Republican Party will not tolerate racist or segregationist comments - and that this President truly is the President of ALL the people.

If you have followed Lott's Apology Tour, you should have a pretty solid understanding that Lott doesn't get it at all. He is apologizing because he was told he should. He doesn't think he said anything wrong--yet he has never said what he meant.
