RIGHT OR WRONG? REGULAR OR IRREGULAR?
What are you?
In Tom Daschle's world, are you one of the "wrong" people to get a tax cut? In John Edward's world, are you an "irregular" person?
Apparently the Democrats can't help but be divisive.. who can blame them? They won many an election on the politics of divisiveness.

BUT... BUT... HE'S A REPUBLICAN!!!
Expect a whole lotta hate thrown at Frist despite his excellent humanitarian work and his very moderate leanings in certain issues:
Frist stayed out of politics before running for the Senate. He didn't vote until he was 36. He tries to keep up his medical skills by regularly traveling to Africa at his own expense to perform heart and lung transplants. On Wednesday he volunteered his services to check the hearts of monkeys at the National Zoo in Washington.
As the only doctor serving in the Senate, Frist attracted attention in 1998 when he was the first physician at the scene of a shooting in the Capitol that killed two Capitol police officers. Frist also came to Thurmond's aid last year when the elderly senator collapsed on the Senate floor, apparently from dehydration. Frist helped revive Thurmond, who had fainted.
Frist also gained national attention as one of the main voices of reassurance in the Senate in the aftermath of anthrax attacks on the offices of Sens. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., and Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., in autumn 2001. Frist worked with federal authorities to coordinate a response and held periodic news conferences to inform the public.
His image as a citizen-legislator - as opposed to a career politician - also could help him win support from lawmakers eager to put the Lott controversy behind them.
But Frist also has some liabilities in an institution known for hide-bound tradition. As a relative newcomer to the Senate, he has not built the kind of long-term ties that Lott has with some of the chamber's senior members. And though he has built a conservative voting record, some conservatives question his commitment to their cause.
Until he declared his Republican allegiance, many Tennessee political observers thought he was a Democrat. He supported President Clinton's nominees for surgeon general, despite concerns among conservatives about their records on abortion.
