I don't even think Lott made a stupid racist statement. I think he had a few drinks at a party and said something that could be construed as racist. And THAT is stupid. So he may be a boob but I don't think he's a racist. At any rate I wish the GOP would play offense on this, not defense. Start pointing out the hypocrisy, start playing hardball. If not, the Democrats will have won a victory and they will think they can do this in the judicial appointments, etc.

It's just not their nature when republicans are attacked they cower and throw each other under the bus. Hoping with each sacrifice they can make it just go away.

And the more the libs get away with it the more they figure they can do it again.

Be nice if Lott came out and said he was sick and tired of the double standard. And turn around and walk out.

Good post, I agree totally. Hardball IS the name of the game and it is only the Democrats who are adept at this.

The Republicans could start by saying "Lotts remarks don't RISE TO THE LEVEL of racism".
