Wouldn't Frist be a non-starter as a candidate for prez because he's

[patrice]

Pro-War.

You can't "win" on More War.

..............


Bring Our troops home now.

1. No. Because he is insane.

[aden_nak]

3. Now now, Frist is a doctor. The clinical term is "crazybatshitinsane".

[patrice]

4. It's obvious that he is Hollow.

I'd bet that he's not a very good debater either, in an open match.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

2. no.

See: Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern.

5. Hopefully no one will forget the shameful Schiavo "diagnosis".....

[Orangepeel]

6. why can't you win on "more war"?

Who ever lost on a pro-war platform, especially when the sacrifices aren't being made by the majority of the voting public?

I hope that Frist is a non-starter for a variety of reason, including that he is a narrow-minded asshole. Unfortunately, though, "pro-war" isn't likely to be a disqualification.

[SteppingRazor]

7. Agreed -- in fact, to many, isn't "anti-war" the disqualification?

Being pro-war is hardly grounds for dismissal. Frist will be right there in the running in 2008. I'm curious to see how the GOP primary will play out, actually. So far, it looks like nothing but religious wackos, or at least those who pretend to be in order to cater to the real thing.
Will any people stand out from the crowd, maybe go the pro-business route at the expense of somewhat ignoring the religious folks?
So far, I'd say the GOP candidate in 2008 is almost definitely McCain, unless he gets stabbed in the back by the party again.

8. frist has personality deficit syndrome

he is totally lacking any charisma or charm or any positive personality traits. remember, bush selected him as the senate majority leader, not his colleagues.

[patrice]

9. Yes, and isn't it amazing how abundantly obvious that is to most people.

Frist gave me the Creeps not 10 minutes after I first saw him on TV. Robot - does not engage in self-evaluation beyond his appearances. He might even be dumber than *. Some people regard ignorance as a virtue. "Just say No. Only Single-mindedness is strength. There are many things you don't need/shouldn't Know. Obediance is fealty/honor. Silence is the "best" discipline. Love those who are better than you. Be quiet and be a "hero" for "us". Drink the blood of Others' sacrifices and above all DO "Christian" BUSINESS" All of that attached to an empty man named Frist.

[Dr Fate]

10. Dr. QUACK is out of step with most voters on social issues as well.

Dr. Quack & his "magic" medical movies are NOT welcome in the Whitehouse.

[patrice]

11. I mean, who on Earth thought anyone but an Evangelical crusader

would follow that man????

He makes one's instincts recoil! He belongs to the Uber-Machine-Soul, the Harvester, "Give us your flesh. Mammon commands it!"

[Stinky The Clown]

12. He's a non-starter cuz Rove sez he's a non-starter

See that knife in Dr. Bill's back ..... ?

Yeah ... that one. It was planted there by one very puffy faced little Machiavelli. They set up Frist to carry their water for the efungelicals. The fact is, the bushies don't give so much as a fat shit about the fundies except as a way to put votes in their column. So when the Shindler circus started, they sent out ol' dumb Bill to do the deed. Him and Rascally Rick. Both got spewed with efingelispittle and it turned out to be too acidic for either of them to survive. Rove overplayed it all a bit. He didn't want to kill them, jsut to hold them in check.

But .... oh well, sez Puffy. That's politics.
