Poll question: President Frist...Snowball's Chance In Hell?
I keep seeing photos of the Catkiller like this one on Huffington Post:



...and I think "this guy has about a third of the charm of the neighborhood mortician."

Insider trading, cat killing, standing where Jesus stood and reading The Semon On The Mount and PROBABLY, for that moment, thinking he WAS Jesus...do ya think this freak of nature stands a snowball's chance of landing in the Oval Office?

1. Hell I think a Melissa Bean Dick Gephardt ticket could give Frist
a run for his money.

2. Other.
I no longer ever try to underestimate the bad judgement of my fellow citizens. Sad to say, I think he could have a shot.

5. Frist was DOA...
.. as far as any presidential aspirations were concerned. This is one I don't really understand, because I refuse to believe that anyone in the Repug machine could have EVER thought this slug could be president.

6. Only if progressives end up splitting their voting block
or not turning out for the democratic nominee.

8. I voted for Frist-DeLay
because that would be the final nail in the coffin of this little experiment we call the United States of America. Destroying this country and then rebuilding it from the ashes would probably be the best thing for us and the world.

9. Won't happen IMO.
I think the independents and swing voters would consider Frist to be too far right. He does a good bit of pandering to the fundies and these type of voters usually disdain fundamentalism.

10. Never.
He is completely devoid of charisma in addition to being too far right for most swing voters.

11. He could get the backing of the BFP....
..(Bush Facist Party), and if he does.....the chance of him stealing an election is great. He they have proved twice that they don't care about the votes!

13. Raised in his familys' basement to someday become a Senator
and rape the nation of Medicare funds. His family fortune, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), has paid THE HIGHEST FINES EVER, some $$$72 million, for Medicare fraud.

14. God they all make me want to puke
the fundies will probably want a Pat Robertson/James Dobson ticket. Can you imagine what sort of hell that would be?
