When you own the media, the churches, and the voting machinez,
you can install pretty much whomever you want. :grr:


Fixing the votes around the Party

The leadership under indictment and/or investigation?

"Times are tough, but we're going to get through it."

"Far superior to other cultures of corruption. So shut up and leave us alone and it's all Bill Clinton's fault anyway." - Fingers Frist

GOP are tired of hearing about the accusations
GOP has been doing it for years

DES MOINES, Iowa, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Republican U.S. Senate Leader Bill Frist, a potential 2008 White House contender facing a federal probe of his stock sales, launched a sharp defense of his leadership during a weekend visit to the early caucus state of Iowa.

Frist asked Iowa Republican leaders and activists to "look at our track record" in the Senate on issues like trade, taxes and energy and said his Democratic opponents were practicing "tired old scare tactics."

"I hear you, I understand your concerns," Frist told the Iowa Republican Party's annual Ronald Reagan dinner on Saturday night. "Times are tough, but we're going to get through it."

It was the Tennessee Republican's first visit of the year to Iowa, the state that traditionally kicks off the presidential nominating season. He met privately with Iowa activists before the dinner and scheduled private sessions before his departure on Sunday.

His visit was overshadowed by a federal investigation into his stock sales, one of a series of ethics allegations that have hit prominent Republicans.

Hmmmm....

If Frist the cat killer is on the defensive, does that mean that Dems are finally on the offensive?

Sounds like the Iowans are getting restless. Ah huh.

"We are the party of principle, the party of conviction, the party of ideas," he said. Right.....corrupt principle, weak conviction, and bankrupt ideas.
