Frist on Cnn Late Edition; Dean on next

[Catt03]

blasting Kerry for not showing up for Senate votes....

He is encouraging Kerry to drop out as MA senator and has the numbers of times Kerry has missed votes.

Next Republican talking point

[LTR]

1. How many votes has Frist missed?

Or how little work did Bush do as Texas governor in 2000?

[MoonRiver]

4. And how much work did * do in the National Guard?

5. Why isn't Frist concerned about Bush being on vacation 42 percent

Why isn't Frist concerend about Bush being on vacation 42 percent of the time?

Has Frist ever said he's worried Bush is going to too many fundraisers instead of working for the public in the White House/

2. Actually, we could say that Kerry's not showing up, has not caused

NEARLY, BY FAAAAAAAAAAAR, as much damage done by the Repugs showing up and voting for every law that will hurt America.

[Eric J in MN]

3. I'm sure Frist wants Kerry to particpate in those votes so much.

I'm sure Republican Bill Frist wants Kerry to particpate in those votes so much.

Real sincere, on his part.

[Catt03]

6. It was a bad critique

and if the numbers are right....it does not look good.

Also new Republican buzz word or words;

Kerry "parachutes in" for a few hours and expects Congress to re organize around him.

I will look for transcripts later

[TN al]

7. Let me just go on record here...

...as pointing out what a petulant childish person Frist is. He is very high on my "jerk list." I ran in to him once when he was running for re-election and I was surprised by how small of stature physically he was. It doesn't translate on tv just how small a man physically he is. It does translate however how small a man emotionally he is.

8. They pulled the legislation

when he showed up to vote for the veterans bill. It was to be voted on until they pulled it. I saw it on the daily vote call. Also when they wanted to vote for the extension of the unemployment compensation they had a repuke ready to switch his vote should Kerry show up to vote on that piece. They are snakes. I wouldn't let gov. romney pick out my toilet paper never mind a senator. My ass is discriminating unlike romney.

9. The Party of False Outrage - outraged when it suits their agenda

This is one of the things I find most disgusting about Repug politicians. They are very good at Outrage. . .but only Outraged in the most partisan way and when it suits their agenda.
