Am I the only one troubled by this Republican unconditional surrender to an obviously phony charge?

Yes, you are. The GOP wisely used Lott's statement as an excuse to to get rid of someone who was for a long time a severe liability. Lott was easily rolled by Democrats to do whatever they wished, and after his statement, it would have been even easier for the Dem's to control the Majority Leader.

All politicans are whores to some degree or another.....its the nature of the beast...
Lott needed to go...a chicken shitte way to get rid of him via slander...no doubt aobut it....
Do Republicans get down & dirty...yes indeedie ometimes they do...nobody's perfect

But the Demoncraps are evil and led merrily along that route by the Clintlers and their ilk...imo

Then why did Lott's fellow senators keep re-electng him their leader?

You said it in a very simple and elegant way. If others can not see that, they do not know a thing about politics.

The GOP wisely used Lott's statement as an excuse to to get rid of someone who was for
a long time a severe liability.

I remember hearing a few years ago about how Lott was a special guest/speaker at some
Jefferson Davis Museum/Center in Mississippi.

At the time, I said to myself "I hope he's there to tell the crowd that despite some
good aspects, Jefferson Davis was lucky to avoid finding himself at the end of a rope".
(personally, I'm glad that was the case...our country got over The Civil War a lot
better by not having that sort of retribution.)

But for Lott, he seemed to have forgotten to showcase that he was in The Party of Lincoln...
not The Party of Jeff Davis...
(I hate that the Rev. Jackson seems to have stumbled across this thought while on
the Sean Hannity Show.)
