What’s the Most Important Issue For the Republican Senate?

If you guessed:

• Developing an exit strategy for Iraq?
• Properly equipping our troops?
• Acting to reduce gas prices and reduce dependence on foreign oil?

If you read polls you might say:

• The economy
• Terrorism
• Or the War in Iraq
  

You would be wrong

Current Majority "Leader" Bill Frist says:

"Asbestos reform will be the first major piece of legislation that we consider in late January when we return,"

"Of all of the items which could provide an economic stimulus to the U.S. economy, I think asbestos reform would be the most important,"

Republicans … Making the world safe for Asbestos. Because if Asbestos is not reformed, the suiciders have really won.
