"Hitlery said nearly the same thing - must be the current dim talking points."

Their strategy is getting pretty obvious, isn't it?
The Dems are grasping at straws - they would love to have another Bob Packwood scenario that they could pound on for months but it isn't going to happen. Frist scares the hell out of them because they won't be able to demonize him.

Not as strong as Lott!

[ImpBill]

Just about anyone who is unacceptable to the NAGS is just fine with me. I sure appreciate their overwhelming condemnation of Bill Frist. It gives me hope the GOP is heading back in the right direction. Time will tell.

[Hila]

Memo to NOW: you are stinking more and more and the NOW president is no improvement and should be replaced. That would be progress.

[blackie]

If the NAGS don't like them, that makes them perfect in my book!

Be Well - Be Armed - Be Safe - Molon Labe!

[Republican Wildcat]

Sounds pro-life to me, especially the opposition to Roe v. Wade.

[Republican Wildcat]

They would have probably declared Kay Bailey Hutchison a "non-woman" or something if she had been picked.

OMIGAWD! NOW doesn't approve! Quick folks, back to the drawing board! Oh I'm so distraught I don't know my hole from an ass in the ground!

"Frist has voted against sex education, international family planning, emergency contraception (the morning-after pill), affirmative action, hate crimes legislation and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

Well daggone. Ol' boy don't sound too bad when you put it that way, huh...

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

They would have probably declared Kay Bailey Hutchison a "non-woman" or something if she had been picked.

It would fit their standard form for categorical logic...
