Senate majority leader campaigns against Sen. Barbara Boxer

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist campaigned Tuesday for the defeat of Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, dangling the possibility of more federal dollars for California if it sends a Republican to the Senate.

Electing former Secretary of State Bill Jones would end "the obstruction that I see everyday on the floor of the U.S. Senate," Frist said, without mentioning Boxer's name.

A Republican like Jones can "come to the table" in Washington and work with both President Bush and the Senate Appropriations Committee chairman, "who decides ultimately how much money comes to California," the majority leader said.

"Right now, California does not have anybody at the table," Frist said.

1. the unspoken game...there are laws about bribery of elected officials,

but they bribe us.

[Justice]

2. Frist is Speaking Out More Freely (I.e like a freak).

The only reason there is no one from CA at the table is because Bush (the uniter) has decided the table is only for republicans.

3. RESPONSE should be

Jones would be a rubber stamp for the Bush administration, attacking your rights and running up the deficit. Elect Boxer and Kerry together we will help California.

[othermeans]

4. Good luck

I don't particularly care for Boxer or Feinstein but I'd rather have them in the Senate than any Republican.

I actually think it will be a landslide for Boxer.

9. She voted against IWR - and very progressive in general

Apparently, Frist's efforts against Djaschle raised his poll numbers - I expect it to work in Cali as well.

18. feinstein is a dino

barbara boxer is NOT.

[sasquatch]

5. I want to see someone campaign against Frist in Tennessee

8. What Is the Best Way to Hit Frist -

Aside from making him minority misleader?

I really am sick of this ineffectual pious son of a punk bitch.

[candy331]

11. Sounds like Frist is being used as a

diversionary attack since Iraq just want go away. I suppose he hasn't found out that his idiocy is helping to unite the Dems.

10. If it wouldn't bring them down to his level,

I'd say Boxer and Daschle ought to go to Tennessee-and Big Dog and Kerry and everyone else at once.....if it wouldn't bring them down to his level.....

[Paradise]

12. nothing is beneath that 'lackey'! can't stand him! n/t

[Riptide]

13. Too bad for Frist that Bush won't be there to work with after the election

He better start worrying about how he is going to work as the senate minority leader under President Kerry.

[rhino47]

14. Is it possible that repukes are trotting out frist instead of *?

I have read an article that there were a few repubics that didnt
want * to campaign for them

[Kadie]

15. He sure seems to be making the rounds

I think this is about the 3rd article I have seen of him campaigning against Democrat Senators.

[aquart]

16. Frist thinks he's gonna be President.

That's what all this is about. Creating debts to be collected.

Bill, you cadaverous cat killer, you ain't gonna be President.

[progressivebydesign]

20. He is just too creepy for the public's taste.. No white house for him! N/T

[shanti]

17. ooh, they're AFRAID of her!

go, barbara, go girl! she's my favorite politician, tells it like it IS! us californians will never let her go, so eat shyt, frist!

[progressivebydesign]

19. I think every time that prick shows up somewhere we should wear..

.. t-shirts featuring any kind of the CUTEST KITTENS you can find. Every time.. a sea of cute little kitten faces.. The kitten killer will find it hard to go to any public even without the innocent faces of the kittens he slaughtered for his personal hobby. Meow Frist!!

[charlyvi]

21. FRIST HAS NO CLASS!!!!!

Byrd is right---where is his honor?

[LittleApple81]

22. Frist looks like a Zombie... he is so undead. n/t

[Poiuyt]

23. Media starting to rip on Frist

There was a segment on TV the other night saying that Frist has crossed over the line when he campaigned for Daschle's opponent. I forget what show it was on, maybe Keith Olbermann. They were not too complimentary. They talked about how there had always been a "gentlemen's agreement" about this sort of thing and how members of Congress used to disagree, but that they were still friends.

Way to go, Bill "Undead" Frist.

[leesa]

24. I am sure a Democrat is not allowed at the table, right cat-killer?

[GoBlue]

25. I'm from Tennessee and knew Frist before he completely ...

sold his soul. What freaking disgrace he is to himself.

[burrowowl]

26. B Boxer

is not to be sparred with by a 'kitten killer'.
Go Barbara GO!
And Frist is also a first class crook.

[dusty64]

27. Boxer is one of the

more progressive Senators in a group that is becoming much less progressive. I hope she hits back HARD at senator cat torturer, he is SUCH a puke. :puke:
