I still maintain that the primary reason the Rs lost in 06 had less to do with corruption, though that was part of it, than with they did not pursue their own stated agenda vigorously enough. Under Frist they played Brer Fox to the Ds Brer Rabbit. They spent their time and energy responding to Ds objections and agendas rather than advancing their own game. I offered Dr. Frist one of my own testicles in order that there might be one found amongst the R ‘leadership’ as none were then in evidence. Strangely, he never replied.
