I think he did himself alot of good today. I do NOT think he should resign. To Hell with the Democrats and their sanctimonious, double standard, politics of personal destruction. And I'm annoyed at the GOPers who jumped on the bandwagon.

Does he really need to keep dragging this out?

And does Rove and the RNC think that more stuff will come out this weekend so they can respond to it on BET?

[Real Cynic No More]

Isn't it nice how the Republicans ALWAYS eat their own when there's ever any whiff of a potential problem. We ditch our relationships, apparently, to prevent any of it from rubbing off on the rest of us.

Conversely, the Democrats always rally around their members whenever there's a scandal.

That's one reason we're always accused of being ineffective.

Be annoyed all you want. His comments were reprehensible. He should resign as Majority Leader. Integrity is more important than what the Left thinks.

The very reason you are angry at fellow GOP'ers is the reason we have been and always will be morally superior to the gimmies. If something is wrong we say it regardless of party. NOT SO with the gimmies. They are the party that accepted the rape of Juanita Brodderick as a "PRIVATE MATTER" for one of their own, BUT goes APOPLECTIC about statement made by a conservative that requires a racial "INFERENCE" of a 54 year old matter made in a party like, jovial setting just to PRAISE a 100 year old retiring Senator.

Absolutely!!. We have some serious problems in this country - very serious. We are targets of terrorists, we have open borders, we have people out of jobs, we have CHina making rumbling noises, we are supposedly headed for war with Iraq, N. Korea has about to erupt and we are giving air time to this? No wonder---

You're absolutely right. This whole dust up is totally ludicrous. I'm no Trent Lott fan, but this is one molehill that should have been squashed immediately.

The Dems have so little to offer that gets them TV time, they pounced on this like white on rice. It should have been stonewalled from the get go and it would have been yesterday's news in a heartbeat.

Well, I thought he stunk. He did not sound anywhere near sincere. Reading his speech, and the speech stunk. He said he was just caught up in the heat of the moment. I hope someone gives him another line. And, I'm sorry to have to say, Lott has always come across to me as somewhat of a bigot, somewhat as an ignorant country bumpkin. He appears to me to be a yes man for whatever the flavor of the moment is. It really does not matter whether he is conservative, repub, dem or green. To me he is simply spineless. Just my thoughts as a black American female.
