This is rather blunt. But it is the truth! Bush, with all of his grovelling gets what? About 8% of the black vote. If we kowtow to the neoracists and deep six Lott, what are we going to get? 8-1/2% Didn't La. election prove that blacks vote as a monolithic block according to how their handlers tell them. It's going to take generations or some great change before most blacks think for themselves and spread their votes over the political spectrum and vote according to their interests rather than how the liberal RAT plantation owners tell them.
I didn't like the impeachment-fixer Lott before this stupid incident but we can't secretly dump him now at the behest of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Missing the point. Lott made his political blunder on the eve of the Louisiana Senate runoff. He helped turn out the black vote for Mary Landrieu. Now, if he is replaced as majority leader and resigns, giving the D governor of Mississippi a chance to name a D to the Senate, that would be going from 51-53 seats in November to 50 in December. Even Jeffords only gave the Ds one seat. And that was after Jeffords voted for the Bush tax cut.
