Lott DID do the right thing, and it SHOULD stop in this neighborhood, and it should stop now. The issue is now closed, except for those that want to fight old wars that have been decided, rather than new ones, that haven't.

The issue isn't closed it has just started and if your so blind to think it hasn't then you better pour yourselve a stiff one.

I agree that Lott did the right thing, but he was put in this position by his fellow Republicans. The fact that stupid praise heaped upon a 100 year old man turned into this fiasco was due to the ridiculous piling on by people who belong to his party. By not sticking by him we give credence to the race baiters and keep alive the incidious double standard.

I do not want to continue to fight this war. Please understand that some of us are just disgusted at the way we so easily turn on each other. This was handled poorly and I feel sorry for Lott, a man I never much supported as leader. Just because the issue is finished does not erace the bad taste many of us have.
