Cat Killer Frist pimps Nov. GOP votes by dangling US-Mexico fence carrot
Frist to push border fence legislation

RAW STORY
Published: Tuesday September 19, 2006

http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Frist_to_push_border_fence_legislation_0919.html

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN), believing a broader immigration bill to be endangered, will move to proceed legislation to construct a border fence between the US and Mexico, according to an article at today's Congressional Quarterly.

Writer Michael Sandler describes Frist as being "eager to give embattled Republicans a 'get tough' immigration vote prior to the Nov. 7 elections," thus his planned action to push the already-passed House bill calling for 700 miles of borderline fencing.

Whether Democrats would support the Frist tactic was unclear, according to Sandler, but Sen. Ken Salazar (D-CO) was quoted as saying, "This is more of the political gamesmanship that we've been seeing on this issue from the very beginning."

1. Frist was eager to lie to the humane societies saying he loved
cats and would give them good homes...as he used them for medical experiments. Got no use for the guy.

2. One thing about getting so old is you have run into all these types
I have run into doctors that are like Gods or think they are. Now that he has this power on top of it, his ego has no place to go. He is with the Gods on the mountain.

3. I have watched Frist closely since learning of the "cats" incident.
He has tunnel vision when it comes to the right-wing agenda; no ears for any dissenting opinions. His disdain for Harry Reid and ANY democrat (except Zell) is all over his sleeve. I'm amazed that a person like that can become a US Senator, let alone majority leader.
