That one is easy. On Fr most of the people are republicans, not conservatives. Same in the rest of the country. No different than democrats, they follow the party line, Bush shoots his wounded comrades the republicans cheer him on.
Lott shot himself, in the foot. Which happened to be in his mouth at the time.
What comes around goes around..
Yeah, like the saying "politics is like making sausage, you don't want to see what goes into the mix" I think we've seen sausage making up close this time!
