Frist's stance on pro-life issues may cause many conservatives to rethink keeping Lott as Majority Leader. I know I would not like Frist there seeing how he stands on this issue.

Regardless of the good job he did as NRSC chairman. Different roles, different talents.

**During last year's stem-cell debate, Frist proposed using leftover embryos from in vitro fertilization clinics for scientific research.**

Hmmmmmm.

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

Folks will be twisting themselves in knots explaining Frist's contradictions.

Maybe it's because he is an M. D.

Frist suits me to a tee. Lets get this done and get our agenda moving.

Of course to those of us with ONE monomaniacal agenda, Frist may not seem like the ideal candidate.

But for those of us that are looking for action on tax reform, reform of the Social Security System, education reform, clamping down on criminals sneaking across our borders, and ending the stranglehold of the socialists on our print and television media, Bill Frist looks like on of the two or three people that can get this job done.

Frist is pro-life. He votes pro-life.

He promoted a man who performed abortions for Surgeon General.

I don't give a damn how he votes. If he promotes an abortionist, he's got a problem.

Most Republicans are not sons of the Republic. At best, they only delay the inevitable.

Frist has an ACU rating of 100. Has he ever met with Henry Kissinger? Let the games begin.

Lott promised to support a PBA ban, right out of the chute.

If Frist doesn't, some conservatives are not going to be turning their wrath from Lott to Frist.

I like Frist, but, then, I'm one of the few who thinks Lott is being railroaded for no good reason.

I was most certainly under the impression that Bill Frist was Pro-Life.

They are destroyed anyway so what is the harm in using them for research?

"We shouldn't attack Frist for not being ideologicaly pure enough."

That makes sense, "the perfect is the enemy of the good."
That said, this Forum has many single minded "pro-life" nuts who apply that litmus test to everyone, no matter how far removed from that subject the person's job is.

Recall one a**hole who posted long gasbag attacks on Kissinger's appointment to the 9/11 committee, [and (Former)Gov. Kean's appointment as his successor] because he had been in favor of population planning in the Phillipines.

Frist has an ACU rating of 100.

When? His lifetime rating is 88. That's lower than Lott, or McConnell, or Santorum.

Why did he support David Satcher, who actually performed abortions?

While Satcher's nomination was widely presumed to have originated with Vice President Al Gore, like Satcher, a Tennessean, his confirmation was actually championed by Frist.

Senators are EXPECTED to support nominees from their own state!
