Frist Breaks With Bush on Senate Stem Cell Debate

Frist, a possible presidential candidate in 2008, had previously declined to say how he will vote on the Senate legislation to expand federal funding when it comes up for a vote. Social conservative voters may reject Frist as a presidential candidate because of his stem-cell decision, said James Dobson, leader of Focus on the Family, a Colorado Springs, Colorado-based conservative policy group.

The far right took a hit on this issue and thats a good thing. If stem cell research has the potential they talk about with various health problems...GO FOR IT!!! Separation of church and state, this issue is being held up due to the church! If the far right wishes not to participate, their choice!
Since this isn't a national defense issue I wouldn't be for government funding or involvement, but likewise, I surely wouldn't discourage the private sector from whatever research they could do.

Do you think he REALLY broke from Bush or are they playing Good cop/Bad cop?

Bush has to appease the Christian right that gave so much money to the GOP. This would make it look as tho he did not support federal funding for stem cell research.....
He saves face and it aids Frist (the cat killer) as well. Just a thought...

Could be. Either that or he's trying to distance away from Bush not to appear to be a clone for the "08". They all have they own agenda which is definately self serving! :D

The only Republican I would even consider voting for is John Mc Cain...

Did you know Frist use to go to the SPCA or pound and pretend to adopt cats, then he would take them home and experiment on them? What a creep.

????? :eek: Where did you read that? SICK!!!!!!!!!

Did some searches....what a sick fuck!!! I thought the people of Mass. were fucked up for putting in Kennedy time after time, what the hell is wrong with the good folk of Tennessee?? :confused:

Glad you looked it up........he is one sick individual.

For anyone else that wants to know the truth about Frist......

Frist acknowledged in a 1989 book that he routinely killed cats while an ambitious medical student at Harvard Medical School in the 1970s. His office said it had no record on how many cats died. Frist disclosed that he went to animal shelters and pretended to adopt the cats, telling shelter personnel he intended to keep them as pets. Instead he used them to sharpen his surgical skills, killing them in the process.

Here's another site:

Where do we draw the line on animal experimentation?
It is likely that more than a few animal activists came unglued at the admission by Senate majority leader Bill Frist that, during his medical training, when faced with a lack of animals for vivisection projects, he "adopted" cats from animal shelters in the Boston area, then killed them doing medical experiments. "It was a heinous and dishonest thing to do," Frist admitted. "I was going a little crazy." In a Boston Globe article, Frist is described as an animal lover whose "decision to become a doctor was clinched when he helped heal a friend's dog." Certainly, Frist's means of obtaining animals for experiments is deserving of damnation, but are those types of experiments themselves equally heinous? :mad: :mad: :mad:

THAT should be enough right there to keep him off the bench. "Heinious and dishonest, I was going a little crazy"
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

We agree.....AGAIN. :D *blows kiss*

thanks Psycho. that----------> THAT should be enough right there to keep him off the bench. "Heinious and dishonest, I was going a little crazy"
DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

Made my day! :)

This really bothered me that this dude was even considered. I just sent an e-mail to my state Senator regarding the Crazy dishonesty issue. Will it make a difference, who knows! I did my part. :D

So what do I get for that Blue??? ;)

Sent one out to my congressman also! :D

Bill Frist is such a cretin.

He lost $524,000 in 2000 using campaign contributions in the stock market. Then he supports W's plan to allow workers to divert Social Security savings into the stock market. Ah, the irony.

So what do I get for that Blue???

Respect. :)

that is one issue i agree with you 100%

Who cares who does what? All I know is that publicly, Bush disapproves of stem-cell research, which makes him that much more of an asshole. I'm happy some one in the republicans finally realizes how important stem cells really are.

Besides, anyone who's a doctor or who has ever been seriously ill can only support stem-cell research. It's complete idiocy to deny their potential.

oh I support stem cell research 100% flesh...but he is doing it so he can run for president....and he tortures animals...
