Can he really do worse than the current crop?

I've thought a lot about this and the best answer I can come up with is trying to avoid indictment and jail time for insider trading.

As someone that likes Frist and wanted him to run in 2008, I can say that I think he would be worse in certain ways than the current field. I see him being a lot like his fellow Tennessean - someone else I supported for President in 2008 - Fred Thompson.

I forgot that medical experiments are only acceptable when done on humans.  Roll Eyes

It's more than a little unsettling that he took cats from shelters and did experiments. Those cats were supposed to be adopted by people who wanted pets, not for experiments.

Probably not worth hating the man/not being able to understand how someone could like him when you consider all of the good he has done in the world (and I'm not talking politically). But it might be silly of me to expect people to be reasonable.

Who said anything about hating him? I just don't approve of what he did and don't really care if other people like him or not.

Just a response to what Kal was clearly hinting at in his post.

Frist said that he would have voted for HCR. End of story.

Didn't Frist speak in favor of the health care bill? If he did he'd fail the purity test worse than Crist.

Bill Frist would definitely lose the cat-lover vote. Something of such slight significance to public policy and foreign affairs is another impediment to winning against President Obama, who doesn't need any more advantages

Well, like most doctors and former healthcare industry insiders, he knows nothing about medicine so it's not surprising he would support such a thing.
