[Concerned]

SHELTONMAC WROTE: "And that, my friends, has become the battle cry of the neo-conservatives in the GOP, Party of Cowards."

DIRTBOY RESPONDED WITH: "Another whiny rant blaming the neocons. Quite frankly, Lott never gave conservatives any good reason to back him up, and then managed to careen madly across the political landscape, throwing supporters off his wagon as he backstabbed conservative values left and right in a futile effort to save his job at the expense of his party."

DIRTBOY ADDED: "You sound like a liberal, blaming others instead of placing the blame firmly where it belongs - with Trent Lott himself."

You summed it all up pretty well, DirtBoy. REAL Conservatives were TIRED of putting up with Lott's REPEATED SCREW-UPS and CAPITULATIONS. Lott FINALLY did the HONORABLE thing and stepped aside from LEADERSHIP, yet staying in as ELECTED Mississippi Senator to continue to REPRESENT THEM.

Regardless of the circumstances, a chance to dump Lott was too good to pass up. NOW, we need to go on the offense against the left, and especially on race issues. (Should be easy since they are racists and we are not) No game is ever won soley by defense. (With apologies to the Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl Team)
