Bill Frist has won the Republican straw poll. Hoping this gives him some momentum going into 2008.
Nothing I’d like to see more than Bill Frist as the GOP standard bearer. Well, maybe Tom Tancredo or Sam Brownback too. Embrace your wingnuttery, Republicans! Start talking about dead babies and eliminating the federal government. Don’t let those D.C. fatcats pick McCain for you…
Bill Frist is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.
This, of course, is only possible if you’re the love child of Squeaky Fromme and the Zodiac Killer, and have spent your entire life in your dad’s basement save for that one time when dad took you to help him stalk and kill some young woman and that nice Bill Frist guy pointed the way.
Oh, yeah, thank you, Repugs. Going for nutty, corrupt Bill Frist (who will forever be linked to Terri Schaivo, an issue where the Rethugs got 22% support) rather than electable John McCain or Rudy Giuliani (and the media always omit mention of Frank Keating or Giuliani banging a staffer when they mention these two, good fortune Bill Frist would love) is a gift.
McCain is a Republican?
McCain is a Republican in much the same way the Lieberman is a Democrat. Except McCain doesn’t have a running stint on Fox News to go and bash his fellow Republicans.
Sam Brownback…God’s Senator. Now there’s a man I’d love to see the GOP run for President. Would GOP then stand for God’s Own Party?
No. McCain has been constantly gardening his “moderate’ cover story.
I speculate the reason he suddenly flipped on Bush just before the
2004 race, and his subsequent boot-licking and knee-cap sucking, is
that Bush has promised to endorse him in 2008 if he’s a good boy on
swing-vote issues. He has been a good boy. He is not as moderate
as he would have you believe.
As for Frist, I hope he has another Terry Schiavo moment on the
subject of stem-cells and seals his Chernobyl-style crypt for
the next 25,000 years.
Jut what the world has been craving. Another Republican, err on the side of life Southerner who the SEC has subpoenaed. I can’t wait to see how women’s rights and gays are treated running up to 11/08, just to get the backward, bigoted voters out in droves. This is just plain ole tiring.
Folks, McCain is more of a true-blue conservative than Bush is, which, come to think of it, isn’t saying much. McCain was the original darling of the neocons, until Team Bush took out a political hit on him in South Carolina.
I still can’t figure out why McCain associates with Bush after that hit, the worst one I have ever seen in American politics, worse than the DLC on Howard Dean. Somebody must have gelded him or something, because I would give it everything I had to destroy Bush, were I McCain.
Then again, being that docile probably is a legitimate reason to mistake McCain for a Democrat. He’s useful, since he makes it look like there’s actual dissent in the Republican ranks.
It won’ be Frist period.
Where can we find a Republican not tainted by the culture of corruption?
John “Keating 5″ McCain?
Bill “HCA Medicare Fraud” Frist? To laugh.
Rudy Guiliani? Let me tell you about the corruption in his administration sometime. Did I mention he is pro-choice, lived with a gay man (not that there is anything wrong with that) and married his first cousin (although that should pick him up votes from many red states)?
Tom Tancredo? Too radical right wing.
Sam Brownback? Too radical.
Mitt Romney? Flip flopper.
factcheck,
Whats this ‘we’? When ‘we Republicans’ pick our candidate, the likelihood is that he or she will win. Since 1980, seven elections: five Republican winners, two Democratic (DLC) winners. So just hold on to your help. Uhh, we’ll ‘probably’ call you.
