1. pulling a nixon

he was about to be voted out anyway

[Pam-Moby]

4. I do not care how he gets out as long as he is OUT.

:toast:

[cantstandbush]

31. The corruption is just too much for him to hide from.

He knows a sinking ship when his feet are getting wet.

[JI7]

2. it's because he is planning to run for President

[Captain Hilts]

5. He's the White House's annointed successor. Or was. Hard to say now.

[rodeodance]

30. maybe he hopes the investigation will stop? (with this announcement).

[Pam-Moby]

7. Please do not say that. It may put ideas in their heads.

:cry:

[peace frog]

18. He can run but...

he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell, thank the gods.

[cassiepriam]

20. He certainly is qualified by repug standards. nt

[Maddy McCall]

28. Yep, but in the meantime, we can put a Dem in his Senate seat.

3. Retiring to a prison cell for insider trading.n/t

[joanne]

6. Is Harold Ford running for his seat?

Let's hope for a Democratic takeover here. Entirely possible.

:party: :toast:

[Pam-Moby]

I like that website.

It shows a map of all of the Senate seats that are coming up. I will be watching the polls.

9. Two democrats are

Ford and Kurita.

[cynatnite]

15. I don't care for Harold Ford...

He winds up sounding more like a repuke than a dem 90% of the time.

[Nimrod2005]

27. I hope it is Ford

A great person, excellent people person politician.

[cynatnite]

8. That I can dance to...

:bounce: :toast: :bounce: :toast: :bounce:

He won't get elected pres. I honestly don't believe he will. I do hope we can get a decent dem to take his place.

[FreedomAngel82]

10. I don't think so either

He isn't rightwing enough for them. Plus, you can always tell about how his families clinic made their fortune on abortions. Haha. And what's going on with the investigation of him?

[Neil Lisst]

24. He's toast because of the SEC problem

He's in bigger trouble than Martha Stewart was.

[Tiggeroshii]

16. He won't be elected pres.

unless martha stewart or ken lay can be elected pres...

[Lasher]

11. Hey, that's a pretty good web site!

Got it bookmarked.

[Tom Joad]

12. Frist will First be indicted, before he leaves office.

If he is convicted before the end of 2006, he will be removed from the Senate.

[texpatriot2004]

14. I agree 100% n/t

[sepia_steel]

13. Woo hoo!!

and another woohoo!!

[Tiggeroshii]

17. This has been common knowledge for a very long time. Nothing new

But it is a good reassurance we'll have one less crony in the Senate in 06 for sure!

[texpatriot2004]

19. Good riddance.n/t

[Tiggeroshii]

23. Definitely... =)

[blm]

21. We've known that for a year. He was planning a run for prez in 2008

before his recent woes, and knowing his arrogance, he still might.

I tend to think that his family will not support a run because they don't want the further scrutiny into their business affairs.

[No Exit]

22. When the asshole runs for pretzeldent, may his life be dissected

in excruciating detail--just like a dead cat on a cutting board.

Especially his insider trading...

[Initech]

25. His career is being placed in a persistant vegitative state!

Quack Dr. Frist isnt going anywhere! As much as we would like to think!

[Marnieworld]

26. Cats rejoice everywhere!

:-)

[deadparrot]

29. So is Harold Ford our best shot at this seat? nt
