Thanks for the interesting background info about Frist and Tennessee politics.

"The Bushes have always been attracted to the more moderate, big money Republicans"

Yep, they're about as far away from the independent, principled, Reagan/Goldwater kind of Republicans as can be imagined. I do like Dubya considerably more than his dad x41 (one of the worst Presidents of the 20th century), but only because he seems a bit more removed from the eastern establishment, compromising Rinos. Time will tell.

I agree. I like Jr. better than his Dad. It is their family dedication to globalism, free trade, multi-national activities, etc. that really upset me. I try to take the good with the bad but I fondly remember the Reagan era where the President put America first and didn't care what other countries liked it or not.
