Frist is exactly why the Republicans got nowhere when we had the presidencey and both houses of congress. He's as weak as a kitten and kisses the leftists butts. What an extreme disappointment.

What the hell is wrong with these people? We have a $1.5 Trillion Dollar Deficit, which is 50% of the entire Federal Budget and they want to spend another $1.5 Trillion on another Socialist boondoggle?

Not to mention the entire Unconstitutional issue, which is the real threat.

The Chosen One decides that Health Care is now a “crisis”, and the RINO Lemmings join in with the Libtard Chorus.

The only sane Politicians left in our Party are Congresswoman Michelle Bachman, Senator's Sessions and Inhofe and Governor Sarah Palin. If you can add to the list, go right ahead. As for me, I'm grinding my teeth while I write this.

This is why he is a former Senator.

Tennessee is much better off having Corker in the Senate rather that Frist. Corker is not as conservative as I like, but Frist turned out to be a pantywaist laughing stock. Good riddance.

Now, if we could just get rid of Alexander.

Coburn and Demint also seem legitimate. And there are probably a few others in Congress, although none from MD, DE, PA or VA as far as we are aware.

Good point though in inquiring and solidifying the list.

The "our Party" thing however is long long over with. We have argued that on FR for quite some time. There is absolutely NO political point in identifying or supporting the "Republican" party. There are explicit logical reasons for this, e.g. delimiting the national forum into arrested consensus two-party thought, ala John McCain vs Barack Obama.

There needs to be external, imaginative, articulate, independent, presentation in the national forum to reintroduce reason and balance. That will only come from external-to-DC political organization (parties).

“Frist also says the bill fails to tackle tort or malpractice issues.”

How can you disagree with this statement unless your reading comprehension is marginal.?

He was ineffective as Majority Leader, always wanting to make nice, never willing to fight.

Frist: disgusting.

The good news here is that Frist is the ex-Senator. Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander argues the overhaul will collapse during debate next month. And Sen. Bob Corker is--- last I heard --- against the whole $@#$# thing.

Only a RINO would say a bill that reeks from top to bottom has anything good in it, or that a bill composed of hundreds of pages of oppressive gibberish and poorly disguised pork “lacks” even more language. Your reality comprehension is marginal.

“Do you disagree with every issue he addressed?”

You seemed to have completely ignored my original question which in no way can be construed as supporting the bill.

No, I didn't ignore it. Allow me to clarify:

Q: "Do you agree with Frist that this bill lacks tort reform?"

A: "No, because this abomination of a bill should not even exist in the first place. Anyone who wants to tack more language to this misbegotten Communist legislature is an imbecile, and anyone who defends RINO Frist is a retarded fool of the Marxist sort."

All of them. They're all going left.

Frist was never on the right from the get go. Making him SML was a very costly mistake. His so called Medicare reform as SML all the Party-Bots were in such awe of was a direct carbon copy of what a former Democratic governor, Al Gore, and Hillary helped push through in Tennessee called Tenncare. It nearly bankrupted the state and afterward a RINO governor kept the corruption alive and well his two terms also.

Actually a DEM governor half way a fisical conservative brought it under some needed control. He nearly eliminated the entire mess due to the corruption and I wish he had. The so called Frist Medicare reform was designed and done solely to pave the way for this we see today.

Frist is a RINO as bad or worse than Lamar Alexander and Lamar has supported Universal Health Care for nearly a decade now. He praised the RINO governor while he was bankrupting the state coffers. This also caused a tax revolt at the state capitol. But don't tell the sleeping Republicrats that though. They think their frog is still a prince.
