I always thought WorldNetDaily was a tad better than NewMax.com but I see I was wrong.This thread should really have had a "GAG ALERT"attached to it but then you're new so I'll give you a pass(smile).It's too bad that a good and decent man is going to be put through this by democrats and libertarians and other 3rd party mal-contents.

Some Republicans will defend anything or anyone with an R in front of their name. He should not have taken a leadership role in Medicare or the patients bill of rights, it was a conflict of interst for someone whose family business is guilty of medicare fraud to the tune of 880 mil, and reflects on his lack of integrity. He had a direct stake in both outcomes.

So now its guilt by association? How sad...

[Lady In Blue]

It sure is but I don't think Sen.Frist will be bothered too much by it at all.He's smart enough to see right through this garbage! I'm hoping he'll completely ignore it and consider the source.

Ethics expert says ties to hospital chain potential conflict of interest for Lott heir

What the hell??? Have these "ethics experts" ever heard of Linda Daschle? She's a lobbyist and relative of a guy named Tom Daschle. Talk about a conflict of interest.

This is GREAT!!!

WorldNetDaily has about as much credibility as Art Bell and is almost as relevent as Phil Donahue. Any critisim from these CLOWNS should be worn as a badge of honor!!

I can't remember which one I dropped first.
This is a better newspaper

OK YOUSE GUYS..... Lets stop Frist before he becomes the next Lott and damages our party even more...... I have before me the April 26 1993 copy of Business Week....On the cover is the a HEADLINE: EXECUTIVE PAY.....aND GUESS who is tope for the year 1992...THOMAS F. FRIST, JR. The Highest paid executive for 1992----get this: $127,002,000.00---Yes one hundred and twenty seven million...Coming in next was Sanford Weill at %67,000,000.00NOW, you mention that before long someone who has been hurt by this company HOSPITAL CORPORATION OF AMERICA.... ME....a great American patriot... a great Replublican.... but I hope they bring him down before he does more damage.... My Hospital bills for 199l to Hospital lCorporation of Am,erica were over a quarter Million dollars, with no insurance....Yep, I was a little guy.... and my entire life was ruined by that company. We had no insurance but had some property....We sold at a fraction of it's worth to pay the bills and just retiring at that time, we lost our life long dream of building our dream house.....I laid brick for 50 years and skimped and saved but lost it to a hospital. That's how hospitals get so big...$7,000.00 a day for care.... Frist is part of the problem and part of the cause and does not deserve to be making laws for us working people. As a staunch Republican and a contributor to and a member of the Republican Congressional Committee I find it hard to sukpport this person to replace Lott... He will damage us. Yes, that picture will be broadcast arou8nd the nation in no time...If I could post it with this article, I would..He must go and he is going to ber brought down. Get him out now before more damage is done.... Stretch in Apple Vallely, Ca. Excuse the typo errors (arthritis in hands)

They're both a joke and an embarrassment to conservatives. Personally, I wish they would both turn liberal...Stop hurting our cause and help us for a change.

Bill Frist, wealthy cardiologist, doesn't do volunteer medicine in Africa for publicity sake, he cares about human beings.

Well that leads to a more fundamental question that's been nagging at me.

Why would anybody go through all that extensive medical training, then after a relatively brief career, simply chuck-it all and only practice medicine on an occasional part-time basis? I just read all the details of his biography at his Senate website, and it's bloated with all kinds of info about participation in various committees, publications, awards (honorary and otherwise) etc. etc. And buried in all that, you can find the few years that he actually practiced medicine.

If he's a doctor who "cares about people", it just seems to me that he'd spend a lot more time actually caring for them.

It doesn't make sense.

[ZULU]

The best defense is a good offense. When the Dms bring up this bull, why don't teh Republicnas go on the offensive??
The Kennedy milllions are the product of a gangster bootlegger dad. Byrd is a KuKluxKlanner, etc.etc.

[Nick Danger]

even though Columbia/HCA had an obvious stake in the outcome of both the Congressional Medicare commission’s work and the patients’ bill of rights legislation, Frist didn’t withdraw from either debate

Heaven forbid that anyone who actually knows something about running a health care operation speak up on these issues. No, we need do-gooders who've spent their lives in academia, and Hollywood stars who have played doctors on television, to tell us The Real Truth.

Miss...

He sure has and Bush will pay for his strident dismissal of Lott. I never had any love for Lott. The manner in which Bush interferred in senate leadership was an error and disgraceful. Then when Lott resigns Bush is hypocrite enough to say Lott is a long time friend and he respects him. I will not vote for Bush in 04, will leave it blank.

[MHGinTN]

Your bias is showing WG, using the past tense of the verb: And buried in all that, you can find the few years that he actually practiced medicine... he's still practicing medicine, Willie, just not the way you're used to seeing with the typical DR office and staff approach.

[dalebert]

What did Bush do. He said Lott should stay. If I sent Bush a letter complaining about Lott, I am sure thousands of others did too. I was not mad at Lott for his silly antics at a birthday part. It was his lack of good sense and what he did after the fact. If he is that dumb after all these years he should not be SML.

[MissAmericanPie]

Leaving your ballot blank is indeed sending a message, the message I want to send is about our borders and how they effect people at the airport being treated like terrorists. So I will write in Tom Tancredo, seems like there is a movement towards that, it would be a shocker if he turned out to be our first write in President.

Highly doubtful, but none the less, a blank ballot leaves confusion in your message, writing in another candidate sends a message that cannot be mistaken, in my opinion.

[justshe]

Agreed re: some Republicans. It makes me sick. The armchair TRUE conservatives who were some of the first to jump on the BASH-FRIST bandwagon!

[Professional]

So, know, if you simply own stock in a company that does something bad, you're guilty by association?

No Willie, you don't make sense, as usual.

...THOMAS F. FRIST, JR.

The brother of a politician runs a company that charged you for goods and services. You feel that you were robbed, and want to take it out on his brother? Good grief.
