I am remembering Lott made a statement on ending partial birth abortion and putting troops on the border. I am beginning to wonder if it is the Democrats fueling this or perhaps someone higher up? Now the Pres. may want a ban on partial birth abortion - I don't know - but he does not want any discussion about troops on the border. He wants that to remain out there where he can call it the 'fringe element'. If you have the Senate majority leader bringing it up - it gives it credence and the Pres. just can't have that. It will cause the American people to actually begin dicussing this problem. He is trying to pretend it doesn't exist - and you know what? We have let him get away with it.
Now if Lott leaves the senate, resigns as ML and stays in the senate, or if he remains as ML, it won't matter as far as the illegal situation. He has been branded a racist and has been sucessfully neutralized on the subject of the border. If he made any attempt to bring it up, he and others would be labelled, once again, racists and it would die.
IN any situation, you have to see who benefits. And it is not always the most obvious.
