Frist! Frist! Frist!

Sen. Dr. Bill Frist of Tennessee, the Republican Majority Leader, won the presidential straw poll at the GOP frat party this weekend in Memphis — yes, that Memphis, the one in Tennessee.

Senator Frist won with 37 percent of the total vote and it was a great display of Party unity and grassroots energy for 06.

Second place went to Gov. Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, and Sen. Bill Allen of Virginia was third. Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the nominal frontrunner, came in fourth.

I hope the Republicans nominate Dr. Frist in 2008. Democrats would have a field day over his involvement in the Terri Schiavo matter, when he diagnosed imminent recovery for a woman who’d been brain dead for almost 20 years — by viewing her on videotape.

Frist’s main problem is he is a Bush stooge who was annointed majority leader by the White House political office in 2002 when Sen. Trent Lott flamed out. The Bush presidency is going to be a long slo-mo train wreck from here on out, and the next Republican nominee will have no choice be to run away from the Bush presidency.

Frist has been complicit with President Bush by using his leadership position to rubberstamp the the administration’s failed policies. Bush wouldn’t have been able to get away with dereliction of duty on Katrina, illegal domestic spying and going to war based on a pack of lies without Dr. Frist’s enabling.

Here’s an email Frist sent to supporters this morning:

The Southern Republican Leadership Conference in Memphis this weekend was a tremendous success. With over 1800 people representing 26 states, 19 speakers and a number of very interesting seminars, VOLPAC was happy to participate in this Republican Party building activity.

Thought you would also be interested to know that Hotline conducted the first straw poll for the 08 Presidential Primary and Senator Frist won with 37 percent of the total vote and it was a great display of Party unity and grassroots energy for 06.

Run, Bill, run!

The world should be so lucky as to have this jail bait ass head the repug ticket in ’08! The question is, “Can he manage to stay out of the pokey that long?”….Probably so, if we can’t get rid of the current DOJ before then, huh?

Frist! Frist! Frist!
