Don't waste your time, the unholy marriage of the race-baiters and anti-Lott conservatives has already been consumated. They both smell blood and won't be satisfied until they they turn Trent Lott's stupid comments into cause for hangin' him high.

I wonder when it's going to sink into the heads of the anti-Lott conservatives that they're putting at risk the Republican majority in the Senate. I wonder if they really want Tom Daschle to run the Senate for two more years.

The irony is that the Anti-Lott conservatives' DRAMATICS, have made them into Libs! (on this subject)

Just think, now they can show they have "feelings", and they are "morally superior", and don't forget their claim of being ashamed to be in a "lily white" party.

If the party is "lily white", it is because most Black Americans don't want to be Republicans, right now in their history they still want big government, affirmative action, and are caught up in group think, not individualism.

They will become more conservative when they mature as a people, and feel comfortable without government protection.
And when the old racists and old civil rights leaders die.

Also when city leaders decide to give their populations a decent education, and let them out of the inner city schools.

Common sense should tell all Anti-Lott conservatives that Lott did not SUDDENLY DECIDE TO TELL THE WORLD THAT HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO SEGREGATION.

The GOP was called racist before Lott's gaffe, and it will continue to be called racist whether he steps aside or not.

If he does not get elected to the leadership again. Fine. It is the Senate's decision.
