Is there any sentient voter left in the U.S. who actually believes the Democrat Party has remaining any heart or soul, much less a message -- or that they give two hoots about the health, welfare, and security of this country?

Rather than constructively using the Lott fiasco to bring Americans together, lacking any direction or message they've become divisive, destructive, infantile muck hunters. To wit, the Democrat National Committee staffer saying of Sen. Frist, "... we're certain there is stuff in his past we'll be able to dig up."

The December 24 New York Times says it even more bluntly on a page 1 lead: "Democrats around the country say the replacement of Trent Lott with Bill Frist as Senate Republican leader greatly complicates their task of taking advantage of the racial furor sparked by Mr. Lott as they try to reassert themselves in a town dominated by Republicans."

Frist and other sources he had no part of "running" HCA. No doubt he had a financial stake (I'm guessing that he helped finance it, although it was started before he was out of Medical School). We need to have clarity to protect him (if he deserves it). You know that you will be quoted. br> -- Nancy Heil br> State College, PA /p>
