The Republican agenda can be defended. But not with Lott as ML. Dump Lott, then we can go back to business as usual. Rats will get no traction out of this once a new ML is found.

You're being naive. The Dem plan is to demonize GOPers one by one. They probably would have started with Ashcroft, but Schrum found these 'tasty" remarks by Lott. Everyone at the party knew what he meant, but taken out of context, they sound good for the Dem side. And Lott is not an adept sidestepper, to say the least.
The GOP has a choice - stick with Lott, and face it now, or dump Lott and wait to see who they go after next.

And if the GOP doesn't call a halt to these assassinations at some point, they will continue until no one is left standing.
Because that's the way the Dem party machine works.

More intense naivete on the part of our team.
