Bill Frist is a Moderate Conservative.

A Rino. Great. That's all we need. Might better keep Lott! What's the diff?
I like Nichols. We need some real conservatives in there. Screw the "middle of the road to help Democrats win elections " crap.

Yeah, it's amazing how Bush clamors for the conservative voters and when he gets them he repays their faithfulness by stabbing them in the back with moderate/liberal choices for leaders.

This will certainly backfire on him.

Nickols dropped out. That means (1) he knows he doesn't have the support to win, or (2) there are skeletons we don't know about, or (3) he does not want the job, or (4) he wants a different job.

President Bush is a moderate conservative. So am I. I am not a Rino. Within our own fold we can talk about those who range from liberal to conservative as republicans and have some integrity about the discussion.

Jeffords was a liberal republican. Jesse Helms was a strongly conservative republican. I'd put Chaffee, Snow, Spector, etc. and their ilk on the liberal side. Frist is not one of them. His voting record is conservative...not liberal.
