Should Republicans in the Senate be led by a man who profits from abortions? I think that's something conservatives should seriously consider.

I bet I can prove that you somehow profit from abortions.

I think if you want to prove that Frist will be worse for the Pro-Life agenda that Lott has been, then you are going to have to do better than this. Lott has done nothing to advance the pro-life cause. He couldn't hold a Majority in the senate long enough to get a single pro-life judge appointed to even a Federal Magistrate position.

The battle for abortion can only be fought in the courts. Lott's record in getting conservative judges on the bench appears to be a big fat zero.

Look Trent, Glad at least you participate in free republic. That is the only thing conservative you've ever done. Gee, he may of also worked in hospital that participated in abortions. OOOHHHHHH! Your an idiot!!!!

I've only read the first 15 comments on this thread and, I can tell you this. I was disappointed with the GOP for several years, which is the reason I left the party. The problem is that my view of GOP and its supporters at FR has continued to deteriorate ever since. Any time it appears to me that it can't sink any lower, it does.

I don't know Frist much but he appeared to me to be a phony (the citizen legis-LAY-tohr standupp routine) ever since he showed himself publicly as a senator. But what really disappoints me is the quality of debate on this issue. The same righteous clowns who simply couldn't tolerate Lott saying words that the demos decided were unacceptable are now happily supporting or declared themselves 'not bothered in the least' by the fact that Frist appears to actc (not BELIEVE or SAY WORDS) but actually ACT in defiance of one of the most important statements of his own party platform.

The same wiseguys who were SO afraid that W would no longer be able to appoint anti-abortion judges if Lott stays, are SO happy now to have an abortionist as their seante leader.

I love it. I propose the entire Monty Python troop for Senate hoping that the 'other' party could get the Marx brothers on their side of the aisle. Then we could get some real entertainment.

Do you have any mutual funds? (rhetorical question)

[Edit35]

Your implication that conservatives cannot or should not "profit" from abortions or they should be disqualified from office.

News flash, Mr. Old Hoosier. Anyone who owns a mutual fund (health sector or index) that invests in hospital chains or HMO's already profits, in a sense, from abortions.

You can stretch the logic indefinitely. For example, owning a construction firm that built an office building in which a doctor resides can said to have been profiting from abortion.

A band-aid company profited from abortions because, dontcha know, those abortion doctors had to use a lot of band-aids.

The argument is ridiculous on its face, I'm afraid.
