"The short-term evaluations, I believe, will prove to be shortsighted and wrong after we get judge after judge after judge after judge through, plus at least one Supreme Court nominee and an energy bill," Dr. Frist said after a lecture at Harvard, where he received his own medical education. "And we will get Bolton."
Clearly, Senator Frist is not disheartened by the recent "compromise" in the Senate on saving the filibuster.
He is what I call a Big Stick Republican. And I'm not speaking of his nether regions!
It is impossible to compromise with politicians who are intent upon one-party rule and the deconstruction of democracy.
