When Republicans win a 2/3 majority in the Senate then we can afford the luxury of this kind of an infantile attack on the party by the single issue holier than thou 'everyone else is a RINO' crowd. Until then let's get behind Frist and get this agony over with and the agenda back on track

I am fully confident that when the House sends the ban on PBA over to the Senate, Frist will get it done and Bush will sign it. Until there is a Super Majority of Pro-Life Senators or more USSC Justices sympathetic to life, a ban on PBA is the first, incremental step. And, it will happen before '04 or you can kiss the Senate and WH goodbye. Anyone that thinks I'm joking had better check history and see what happened the last few times the pro-life crowd wasn't engergized and stayed home.

Incrementalism works for the communists on the left, so lets take this step and keep working. Lord knows, the bedrock of my politicking is my faith - and I have several hot button issues which I have prioritized - life being number 1.

I will quote my esteemed fellow FReeper tomahawk:

"If Frist becomes Majority Leader, we have a good shot of holding the Senate, confirming pro-life judges, and reducing the number of abortions. If Lott stays, we probably lose the Senate, fewer pro-life judges get confirmed, and the killing spree continues unabated. Hmmmm, which is a better choice?"

FRIST!

Exactly! We cannot hope to overturn Roe v. Wade by using a sledgehammer we are not yet strong enough to swing. We need more conservative judges. Lots more.

If whoever is chosen SML can help move us in that direction, we can build our strength slowly but surely. Good legislation that cannot make it past our courts is, in essence, an exercise in futility. Let's get going - time's a wasting.

By the way, I feel Senator Frist is a good choice. I think his recent voting record on conservative issues stands on its own merit. Is he perfect? No. But he doesn't try to use a 16 pound sledgehammer when a 16 ouncer will move our agenda forward - one step at a time. And I reject the notion that Dr. First is pro-abortion!
