Had they, some wondered, picked an admirable man for the wrong job?...Dr. Frist then suggested he was now embarking on an even ''heavier'' responsibility, implying that the Grand Old Party needs radical surgery.

Frist announced that his mission was to establish a new bipartisan consensus in the Senate and essentially renounced confronting the RATs on issues of importance to GOP conservative base voters which was no surprise to those who have watched his Senate career. His new mission is to remake the once conservative Senate GOP in his own moderate image. Frist is the pro-choice moderate GOP leader Democrats have always wanted because he will work hard to pass Democrap legislation. He will be an absolute disaster as GOP majority leader with his anti-gun, pro-choice, pro-illegal immigration stands. Frist's inaugeration as Senate Majority Leader on January 7th will spell the death knell for conservatives in the Senate. Lott was much better and despite his verbal gaffes will be sorely missed as a more principled GOP leader, less inclined towards bipartisanship and collaboration with the RATS than his more moderate successor.

It was dispicable of the demRATS to have vented their electoral frustration onto Sen Lott in that manner.

But I didnt think it was imaginable anyone more inclined to accept a bullseye on his back than Trent Lott, isnt this the one who allowed clinton to get away with chinagate by dealing away the impeachment?

I dont know alot about frist but one thing I can see is that he is smart. Hopefully smart enough not to step in it like Lott did. As majority leader he is beholden to his peers to maintain the integrity of the conservative platform regardless of his personal bias. And his peers are beholden to the voters (THATS YOU AND ME) to demonstrate progress on the conservative agenda.

Frist gets a 100% from the champions of babies, Right to Life for his voting on the issue of abortion.

Planned Parenthood, the abort as many babies as you can gives him a F

This sure doesn't sound pro-choice to me.

I think Dr. Frist, a most attractive personality, will be primarily a "water carrier" for G.W. Bush. It will be like G.W. is not only president but Senate majority leader as well. I can never imagine Frist bucking Bush on anything. So if there is no partial-birth abortion ban voted by the Senate in either 2003 or 2004, it will be the fault of none other than G.W. Bush himself! (By the way Dr. Frist voted for Senator Gore in 1990!)
