That was my hunch and I'm convinced this is all being orchestrated very cleverly by the Top of our party.

No, it's orchestrated by Clinton Inc. This is Carvells game.
Trent said he was sorry. He faultered under pressure, not very smart. BUT, rather than give the race baiters and liberal press their ratings or a victory, I say leave him there for now, talk him out later.
If you cave to Democrat temper tantrums, they'll just keep doing it. Never reward bad behavior.
Democrats have the minds of children. People need to learn this. Once they get the idea and treat them like misbehaving children, things will move along just fine.

The Vacant Lott started this, so quit covering for his ambiguous and now obviously demented comments for which he has attempted to take us all down with him. His leadership was going to doom the GOP, one way or the other, sooner or later. The fact that the race pimps and communists see an opportunity here as well is the other side of the battle for me. I want to take their handpicked GOP Leader out of the equation, keep him in the GOP Majority Senate and move on to bash the racists that want to hold down minorities and America. We see this differently, and that's how it is.

Never reward bad behavior.

Its not rewarding bad behavior by the democrats, they WANT him to stay.

We can't afford to let Lott become the new Newt Gingrich, they can't attack Bush but they sure as hell can villify Lott and the GOP as racists for the next 10 years.

His inept handling of an initially very manageble situation has proved Lott doesn't have the skill to be Majority leader, case closed.
