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.
