If DeMint did orchestrate this assault on the amnesty bill, good for him. Lott should resign in disgrace and DeMint should replace him. DeMint apparently has more leadership capabilities than Lott.

I’m not sure what Lott is complaining about here. That he wanted no guest worker program? Given Lott’s history, I don’t trust him to stand up for his base. I called him myself and blasted him for the poor Republican leadership we have at the moment—the leadership intent on ignoring its constituents.
That said, DeMint and Jeff Sessions have become by far my favorite US Senators we have representing us. But again, we need a strong voice condemning this amnesty nonsense from the Chief Executive Office. We aren’t going to be getting that from Jorge. Not that we ever did with him. *sigh*
Say what you want about Tom Daschle but he was able to out-flank helmet head time and time again on the Senate floor. Daschle basically wound up being the de facto Majority Leader thanks to Trent's ineptitude.
Even the great compromiser himself, Bob Dole, never became the kind of door mat that Lott was.
Great to see there are some Republican Senators who happen to have a brain and happen to know how to use it!! That was pretty smart, huh!
