That was a lovely speech...only problem is your facts are a bit distorted.
Many major Dems were not applauding Lott's demotion at all, but in fact wanted him to stay on as Majority Leader as a punching bag. (including the Black Caucus, Alan Colms etc. etc.)

Furthermore the Republicans are not "apologists" for Bush, because Bush didn't nothing to apologize for. I agree 100% with how Bush handled the Lott mess.

It's really sad to see that a few die-hard Lott/Dixiecrat apologists are still not ready to come to terms with reality... are still fighting this long lost war.

Jorge...

Lost war???? Lost by whom??? I, personally will not vote for Bush in 04. That means I will not vote for president in 04, leave it blank.

The author of this story is trying to get across to the readers that this mess was not over Lott, or racism. The democrats with the aid of Bush have hung the tag of "racism" on the republican party, falsely I may add, but republicans are swallowing the line, sinker and all. The democrats applaude you, I do not.

Well, well, another "canonized conservative" painting with a broad brush. Because I think that Lott was screwed over a meaningless remark, I'm therefore a "Dixiecrat apologist"?

You've become so accustomed to smearing you just can't help yourself, I guess.
