Because we have standards we adhere to and they don't. The Lott affair has been debated ad nauseum and most agree that having him step aside as Leader while retaining his seat was just.
I know you disagree. But really, advocating that we go the way of the rats and rally 'round one of our own and apply no accountability is not the desirable path.
The Lott affair was never about Lott or what he had to say. It was about partisan power politics. I do resent republicans aiding the democrats in self destruction. As a conservative that aids the republicans, I also resent republicans here on FR using demeaning language day after day. In less than two years these same people will be here asking for our support and votes for Bush.
