I think you have become so emotionally involved in this situation that you may not be able to see the big picture anymore. If you look back on Lott's record, this is not the first time he has shown segregationist tendencies and it's not the first time he has made segregationist remarks. For you, it seems easier to blame the President than Lott. I just cannot relate to your unbending support for Senator Lott, no matter what the facts are. He didn't even think he had done anything wrong for days and refused to address the issue at all. Then phoned-in apologies, tepid at best. I understand there is no use trying to reason with you on this particular issue so I am no longer going to try. Have a good day, though. God bless.

Pot... Kettle.... That cuts both ways doesn't it. All some of us are trying to say is if you let the race pimps call the shots on this one at this immediate time then be prepared to dance their jig for many moons to come. In due course things need to change but to let them push you into this because they hollered and squealed like stuck pigs is no way to govern.

I have no eartly idea why you are anyone would think that the man wouldn't leave the Senate if ripped apart and demoted by his peers. Tell me you could honestly stick around and hold your head up.

My gut feeling is Lott is gone and the Republican Party can kiss any effective governing out the window for the foreseeable future. All the democrats have to do is put up road blocks and they will now cave. The opposition has won. But then that's the position the Republicans like to be in, underdogs and then they can moan and groan about the democrats, etc. They haven't learned how to lead and apparently never will......

President Bush is a united as you say. That means he compromises with the opposition to accomplish parts of his objective. He's not a staunch conservative, never has been. jmo, of course.... You have a nice one also.

Tom Daschle didn't either. Dick Gephardt didn't either. They BOTH said "Well, some of us say things we wish we hadn't."

This whole thing became a big deal when Maxine Waters got involved, and the "canonized conservatives" saw an opening to run Lott out of the Leadership.

Don't get personal and don't patronize me. I understand how you can hold the position you do. If you can't see my position, that's fine with me.

You are not going to change my thinking on this.

I think both liberals and certain conservatives are being craven. They both want to get rid of Lott, and they don't care how they do it.
