Yes.

I am a little bothered also that he didn't get more of a defense from the right.

I mean, Daschle even opened the door with his apologizing FOR Lott's stupidity.

I really think it was a real opportunity that could have been crammed successfully right back down their throat with a bare minimum of effort.

Heck, if anyone has a shameful history in this regard it's them. From Carl McCall (sp?) to "Jew Bastards" to the Civil Right's Act, they don't have a leg to support them under any kind of serious scrutiny.

But, that was yesterday. Today I am just hoping our agenda didn't get too dinged up and that our brave politicians won't be ashamed to put it forward.

There's really no use in having control if they don't have the nerve to push our agenda.

I had this thought today: Perhaps the Dems will use us against ourselves. Maybe we should just keep our mouths shut. This entire incident was caused, stirred up and decided by Conservatives, probably we, ourselves on FR. Something to think about. In certain ways, the Libs have less power than we think they do, so they give us enough rope to hang ourselves. Let's refuse.
