I'm glad you changed your mind about Lott. I deplored dumping Lott at the time not just because of politics, but also because the vilification of Lott was another victory for PC, that tended to diminish the freedom of speech of all of us, so that we can't say what any protected group deems insensitive. Now the same thing is happening to Santorum, and a lot of people don't see that it is the same thing.

It isn't the same thing.

What Lott said was stupid and inexcusable for a politician who should have known better......whether he meant it or not. Santorum was making a statement on an issue consistent with the law of the land.

Two entirely different situations.

Clarification......what the RATS are doing is the same thing (of course, since they never vary their playbook), but the two situations are different.

I have to admit I didn't like Lott as Majority Leader, but you all were right. It was the slippery slope effect and now when any Republican says something the RATs don't like they ask them to resign and a large part of the media cannot get enough of any misstatement which adds pressure! The RATs figured they could get Lott to quit so why not everyone else they disagree with.

Something is wrong in the Senate with the debacle of the Tax Cuts and it had better be fixed and fast.
