Does anyone have anything on Frist - scandals, irregular votes, anything?

[NAO]

I think people are mis underestimating the danger posed be Frist.

He was smart enough to become an M.D., which puts him ahead of 95% of the population and 98% of elected representatives.

Combine that intelligence with his rabid ideological allegiance to the Radical Theocratic Agenda of the Religious Reich, and put him in a position of power, and he is a very dangerous man indeed.

Taking down a poor dumb slob like DeLay is easy. It's like shooting endangered fish in a toxic waste barrel with a semi-automatic assault rifle.

But Frist - is he actually as holy as he claims? Has he ever voted in favor of abortions or gun control? Is anything in his political career in opposition to the rabid ideology of the Religious Reich? Has he done anything unethical that has been discovered?

This needs to be a priority. Short term, to neutralize the momentum of the Bush agenda and the power-drunken Religious Reich. If Frist and his theocrats are not stopped, he may ride his success right past Condi and Rudy and all the other neo-cons to become the 2008 TheCon Republican Presidential candidate.

1. Doesn't he own part of a hospital that performs abortions?

I've heard that floating around here and there but I'm not sure.

Time to Google!

2. Randi Rhodes said he owns many hospitals...I don't know

whether any perform abortions.

5. I'm not sure - back when I lived in TN I heard rumors about that

Like I said, it's time to use the power of Google to find out what he owns.

No one is that perfect.

7. He killed cats

And admitted it in a book. He adopted them as pets, and then used them for experiments.

Edit: Damn. I wasted #500 on that?
