I don't find anything admirable at all in your use of this incident to dump Lott.

That's politics. He has become a liability.

Tell me, what is admirable about hamstringing our Senate, letting the Dems make us the Party of Lott, and couging up the Legislative and Executive Branches in two years, just because it galls you to concede a lost and worthless cause to the Democrats?

It's all about self-congratualtion and spite for Lott defenders; any downside to Lott stepping down goes threefold for him staying.

If the Democrats want to do us a favor, let them.

Your strategy is like fighting to keep the Germans from blowing up a bridge you wanted down anyway.

My defense of Lott was a simple matter for me. Since I didn't believe he was a racist, I do believe in redemption and I find loyalty in bad times an admirable trait, I was locked in.

And if you or anybody else doesn't like it, that's life.

Lott has to go. I was going to blame conservatives for not sticking up for him but after hearing about what he said on BET I realized this guy has no spine, how do we expect him to stick up for conservative values when he won't even stick up for his own self. I wasn't around FR during impeachment but just going on the power sharing agreement I can't help but see that Lott is a jellyfish or a demoRAT plant. Now it's up to us to make sure this guys is OUT ! If he retires he is lower than a snitch.

I can't help but notice you keep saying "Lott supporters".

Since I'm probably on that short list, let me explain what a "Lott supporter" means to me:

Lott is a Republican with a 93 ACU rating; - Lott is not responsible for Clinton's spin resonating with the American people during a period of (perceived) economic boom; - Lott has carried Bush's water for two years; Lott made a mistake of the mouth, not of the heart; - Lott is not a racist; and ---

I do not believe in "borking" a Republican, I do not believe in branding anyone a racist, I do not believe anger over Clinton's survival should put our majority in the Senate at risk; and...

I am disappointed and angry that we have now put the voting record of every Republican lawmaker up for grabs by the lowest bidding "race pimp".
