I'm tired of this crap about Lott. Too many people are twisting his words around and making him out to be a racist white boy.

Bullsh-t. Everybody knows what he was referring to with Thurmond's 1948 campaign, and it wasn't segregation. While I realize that he has to at least soothe some people, if I were him I wouldn't have even apologized for my remarks. I would have explained them instead. If that isn't good enough, then I wouldn't want your vote anyway.

Lott should remain Senate Majority Leader!

I don't really know if he was talking about segregation per se, or the larger issues of states' rights and the fact that this country is not a democracy. Seeing how he has acted this week, he is strictly in CYA mode and cannot articulate a strong position against the onslaught of racialist demogoguery.
