Frist's ties to the religiously insane could be documented.
If what Kos says is correct (and I believe it is) then Frist has been in communication with James Dobson and Jerry Falwell, two religious wackos who claim to have driven their equally insane followers to the polls for Bush. If Frist has been using his Senate office phone with either Dobson and/or Falwell or anyone representing them, these call records are subject to request.

I am dropping this thought into the open for anyone who might be so inclined to read this idea on a public forum and put it into action.

Do you know who pulls Frist's strings? I do. I'll bet that a request of the phone log would clear this matter up. Then we can use this information as we see fit.

1. What if a cell phone is used?
Can those phone records be traced, or would that take a (EGADS!!!!) court order??

3. Can we convince them he is a terrorist?
Put the patriot Act to good use (for a change)

4. The White House is in touch with Dobson
according to this article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/19/politics/19strategy.html


The White House can call on a broad array of conservative groups that come at the issue from perspectives like opposing abortion and gay marriage, as well as legal theory. The participants in the weekly meetings include representatives of Focus on the Family, the powerful Christian advocacy group run by Dr. James C. Dobson, and the Federalist Society, the influential conservative legal group.

5. Could be?
The whole Republican Party is documented to be not just in communication with but in the pocket of the religiously insane. For that matter, they're proud of it.
