Sorry Luis doesn't fly. Lott was ousted for one reason only, offending those of the NAALCP and other racist organizations for making a non committal statement about a great statesmen that, as has been pointed out, could have meant many things.

Does that mean Lott should have stayed in the position before this happened? Of course not. His stance changed so often one would think he was a liberal. However to throw him to the multicultural wolves as a way to get him out of that seat was a mistake that conservatives will be paying for for years

Lott was ousted after he began sucking-up to the NAALCP.

Lott spent the better part of the past ten years administering CPR to the Democrats.

The impeachment (I had actually given Trent a pass on that, convinced that it was a smart political move), the power-sharing scheme, his failure to maintain control of the Senate Republicans with Jefford's switch, and now, a remark so idiotic that it singlehandedly revitalized a demoralized, disjointed Democratic Party.

If you don't demote Generals for losing battle after battle, and constantly giving ground to the enemy, what do you demote them for?
