I have not been following the entirety of this thread, but my take on the whole Lott deal is this:

If you want Lott out because you do not like the job he is doing, fine; get rid of him.

But if you want him out because of the things that he said at an old man's birthday; things that have been manipulated into portraying Conservatives (Not just Lott) as still racist; then you are playing right into the Liberals sweetest desires.

Don't be fooled by the theory that we are better with Trent out of there, because 'Now the Liberals don't have anything to complain about', because that is NOT what they were after.

They want to be able to not only attack Conservatives, but to GET RID OF THEM WHENEVER THEY WANT, WITHOUT EVEN THE SEMBALANCE OF DUE PROCESS!!!

Think about it; we suffered here for 8 long years with a President who openly broke Federal laws, AND WE COULD NOT GET RID OF HIM! The Liberals screamed that his crime did not 'Rise to the level of Impeachment'. And he got away with it.

Now we have an individual who BROKE NO LAWS; indeed, he simply exercised what is supposed to be his Freedom of Speech, and because his words were twisted to imply that he actively supported Racism, (Even though he DID NOT ACTUALLY STATE THAT), the Left successfully had him removed from his position with absolutely NO DUE PROCESS!!

Amazing. Mark my words; this has opened the floodgates. This opens up the potentional that anytime they (The Left) wants to get rid of a Conservative, all they have to do is find a way to tie him to the evil of Racism, (Or some other 'Politically Incorrect' stance) and they can have him forced out with absolutely NO DUE PROCESS!

In conclusion, the Right has proved themselves whimps once again by caving in, (Did the Left cave in and give up Clinton???? How about Byrd???), and they have handed another big power card to the Liberals. To all of those Conservatives that wanted to put their heads back into the sand by giving up Lott, well, you made a huge mistake. You've told the Liberals that they can have their way any time they want it.

One of the reasons we could not get rid of the criminal creep, Bubba? TRENT LOTT (leader of the sham impeachment trial).

There's one difference. The RATS have the entire media to push the issues that the RATS want pushed. The Republicans don't. Byrd doesn't become a big story, Lott does. Patty Murray's words yesterday should be a big story. They're not. They're being covered up by a willing press. There is a double-standard that we have to deal with. I still say the RATS are going to far and so is the media. This could end up working in our favor. As someone else here said, they just don't get it. They don't believe that people will tire of their spin. But they will.
