Senator Frist, leading the Republican Party straight into the minority.

Last week, the Bush boys and the Judiciary had their crack at it, and blew it.

Now Frist and the Senate look to be blowing their chance.

Frist is such a sissy boy. And to think some people think this milquetoast could be president.

Frist has long since become a member of the Senate "club."
For members of the Senate club, public opinion simply doesn't matter.

He should be dumped at the end of this session (late '05) and replaced with Mitch McConnell.

I think these comments also suggest that the "nuclear option" -- why were we so stupid as to let it get this name??? -- is a dead option. If Frist, who is supposed to make this happen, can't even mildly criticize the judicial branch or the Schiavo courts, how in God's name can we expect that he'll stand up to Harry Reid's threats, let alone get all but five of the GOP senators to?

More sterling leadership from the GOP.

And the diehards can't figure out why so many conservatives are sick of the GOP's "our candidate's the lesser of two evils" strategy toward its base, and why we're thinking third party at this point.

There has not been a strong, conservative Republican Senate leader since Robert Taft, Sr., and that was over 50 years ago. From Everett Dirksen onward, the GOP has gone along with the Democrats, whether they are in the majority or the minority. Bill Frist is the latest in a long line of wimps, including Trent Lott and Bob Dole.

The Senate considers itself a "gentlemens' club". A common euphemism for high roller topless nightclubs are "gentlemens' clubs."

Frist, what loser. Doesn't he realize that he and the whole House and Senate have just been bit** slapped by that federal judge?

Don't be silly. Frist is the grown-up in this case.

DeLay risks losing the House with his crusade against the judiciary.

Frist isn't leading the Republican party any where-he is less than Lott Lite. If he was this timid in the operating room, it's no wonder he swished...switched! I said Switched!, to politics.

What is it with these Mr. Milquetoste Republicans? Most of them don't have one testical among the lot.

Does Hitlery have dirt on them? Are they just window dressing Republicans? Do they care more about appealing to moderates than having any core principles? Do they not see that the judiciary is an out of control soon to be trainwreck? Are they dancing the minuet, trying not to offend Democrats for some reason - maybe the abovementioned dirt?

What politicians should do is before election (or after, I don't care) write a little pamphlet about all the "bad" things they've done. Then, it's all out there, and they don't have to cower in fear that someone will tell on them. I could care less if someone smoked some wacky weed in their past, or had a divorce. People can and often do change.

But what sickens me is politicians acting as though their main concern is to get along with liberals. Screw Frist, I hope he never runs for higher office. I'll never vote for him after than statement. Some people might think that's too fanatic, but I want someone in charge with guts, someone who isn't a eunuch, too afraid of the status quo to tell the truth and see the truth. I'm sick of politicians who are more interested in the "game" of politics than the raw truth.

Every civilization in the history of the world has come and gone, grown and expanded, then dwindled and dissolved, often violently. Our will be no exception. I'd prefer it stay awhile longer. Pretending that everything is a-okay is a surefire method to hasten its destruction.

Frist thinks that now that Terri is dead, people will just forget the whole thing.

I think and I hope, he is wrong.

People better not forget, or people better hope they won't become inconvenient for someone, who will decide to take water and food away from them, until they are dead.
