Hey Dale - here's a quote from you about your feelings about the moral character of our public officials -

"...people in public office, should set the example for the rest of us. They are our chosen leaders. I expect them to know the difference between right and wrong..."

With that said, how can you think that Trent Lott should remain the leader of the Senate.  Or maybe you think what he said wasn't "wrong."

And as far as turning this into a simple Dems vs. GOP match - I think you should look closer at who's really putting the heat of Lott to step down.  Here's a hint - he's the idiot in the White House.  You're right about one thing, Dale.  It is politics as usual...in this case - how best to get GW re-elected.
