FRIST BITES THE BULLET ...

Senate majority leader Bill Frist's fortunes have been waning lately - and now they are about to completely fade into obscurity.

First of all, Bill Frist hasn't been able to do much as the leader of the Senate. He's been pretty ineffective in getting the Bush judicial nominees to the senate floor for a vote.

He's been unable to fight off Democratic filibusters and unable to pull of the "nuclear option" to end them.

He's constantly been "chumped" by Sen. John McCain, who is now the "defacto" Senate Leader.

Two attempts to bring John Bolton's UN ambassador nomination to the floor of the Senate - have failed.

He's been so impotent as a Senate majority leader that, as a doctor, I'm surprised he hasn't written himself a prescription for Viagra by now.

Frist REALLY, REALLY wants to run for President in '08 - but his political fortunes are so low right now - there's no way he'd get through even one primary.

It's time's like this that define a man - when he's down and out. What he does to pull himself up by his bootstraps and stand on his own two feet tell you a lot about the character of the man.

So what is Frist doing to "pull himself up"?

Well, he's decided to PANDER TO THE AMERICAN LEFT and give in to embryonic stem cell research!

Frist is now prostituting his principles in order to make himself a more pallatable candidate for the LEFT.

But he doesn't want to lose support on the right either. Here's a statement from him ...

"I am pro-life, I believe that human life begins at conception. I also believe that embryonic stem cell research should be supported and encouraged".

Those two sentences above are completely in conflict with one another - and any time you see a statement like this it's either coming from a very confused person or a politician out to grab votes.

Frist says that an embryo is "human life" - and he then says that he supports conducting experiments on that "human life"?

That's scary folks. I can see a liberal who doesn't believe in God - who thinks we are all nothing more than an accident - supporting embyonic stem cell research. To such a person, he doesn't think we're destroying human life when we conduct such experiments.

But for a PRO-LIFE conservative, one who believes that life begins at conception - how can that guy condone experimenting on what he believes is HUMAN LIFE?

That position seems pervertedly evil to me.

We've seen the end of Bill Frist - the pro-life base of the Republican party is not so dumb they aren't going to see through this glaring, and quite frankly frightening, inconsistency in Frist's position.

When a guy is down in his fortunes - that's when you really see the character of the man. Frist is now in the midst of such a test - and he just failed the exam.
