That can't be good news. The only reason that Jesse Jackson would be standing up for Lott would be if there was something in it for Jesse Jackson.
Yep. Lott said he now is for affermative action. (barf)
Time to rally against it.
Right now, I believe the issue is headed for the Supreme Court? If the Supreme Court says it favors one race above another and is unconstitutional, the left wants Washington to over ride the verdict.
Lott should stay , but not as leader right now. He's a beaten dog. Now he's anti-white .
I just posted this on another thread. Please accept this as my answer to you.

I really do agree with you that the concept of Republicans eating their own is despicable. And as proof of that, I would like to remind you that this is the exact reason why we despise Trent Lott in the first place! It's not "sanctimonious" to see someone for what he really is -- a useless piece of flesh-eating bacteria who will eat his own for the right price.
Trent Lott turned his back on the House Republicans (and thus on us -- on you and me) back in 1998. He did it again a few months ago by letting Dashole tell him that "power sharing" would be the order of the day. He's a political whore. He always has been and always will be. Chester is not and never has been worth defending. Like it or not, the fact that the Dems are using race-baiting slander tactics does not change that fact.
If it had been anyone but Chester Lott, I would have been standing right behind you hollering about the stupidity of allowing the Dems to use Racial Railroading as a political tactic. And I understand everyone's defense of Lott; this hypocritical railroading is pathetic and has the potential for setting dangerous precedents if the Republicans allow it to continue after Lott is no longer Leader.
But IMHO, you're looking at this from a negative viewpoint. The glass is not half empty -- it's half full. We can and should use this to our advantage. Lott has already done the damage. We can't undo that damage. He dug his own grave by not immediately apologizing and then shutting up. In typical Lott fashion, he let 5 or 6 days go by without apologizing for the well-meaning but insensitive remark. Lott is so mentally-challenged that every time he opens his mouth, he compounds his situation. We cannot change that.
Nor can we change the fact that Lott is and always has been a bonafide "useful idiot" for the Democrats, who have no qualms about paying him off or blackmailing him, whichever the case may be.
But this time they've overplayed their hand. The race-baiting Dems have allowed their feelings and emotions to override their brain and have given us a chance to put someone in charge who isn't testosterone-challenged. I guarantee you that Carville and other Dems who are capable of rational thought are desperately sending out the faxes, telling their cohorts to back off now so they won't lose their whipping boy. But it's too late. They've dealt us a potentially-winning hand and it's too late for them to take their cards back.
All we have to do now is make sure the Senate knows that we will not accept another blackmailable, testosterone-challenged wimp in the Leader position. Because once a new Leader is in place, that Leader must go on the offensive and educate the sheeple with a class on Racial Railroading 101. The new Leader must take this mind-numbingly hypocritical racial issue away from the Democrats and cram it down their throats.
