They are eating their own!!! you know they are in trouble when this start
DES MOINES, Iowa - An evangelical group has begun a weeklong advertising campaign in Iowa criticizing Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist for backing expanded embryonic stem cell research.


"We know Iowa is a way to get everybody's attention," said Gary Cass, head of the Florida-based Center for Reclaiming America. "Our hope is Senator Frist will hear from Iowans and they are kind of a bellwether state in the heartland."

Iowa is a critical state in the presidential nominating process and Frist is considered a potential candidate for the Republican nomination in 2008.

In the ad, which shows a photo of a smiling baby, an announcer says: "Senator Frist: we cannot save innocent lives by destroying them. Tell Senator Frist to stand with President Bush and oppose research that destroys human embryos."

1. Reclaiming America?
Florida based? I thought those folks in Florida thought they had it all sewed up in 2000! (my apologies to any blue Floridians)

2. Let's Not Get Too Carried Away Here
Frist is certainly nobody we should even refer to as being on our side. I don't want any part of him either. Better to remain silent and let them attack him, and destroy any prospects he may have in the future.

Let's see him try to wiggle his way out of this one, although I'm sure he's one step ahead somehow.

5.  The evangelicals may think they're bigger than what their britches are!
"The group is spending about $50,000 but could expand the campaign if more money is raised. It also sent e-mails to a national listing of 500,000 social conservatives."

It would be curious to see what their tax status is.
