Dems Block GOP Efforts in Schiavo Case
18 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - House Republicans, seeing Congress as a last hope for brain-damaged Terri Schiavo, convened an extraordinary Palm Sunday session to pass legislation aimed at prolonging the Florida woman's life. Democrats refused to allow the measure to go ahead with a vote, forcing Republicans to scramble to bring their members back to Washington.

Republicans were denying that political motivations were behind legislative efforts to reconnect Schiavo's feeding tube.
"I hope we're not ... making this human tragedy a political issue," said Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz. "We've got plenty of other issues that are political in nature for us to fight about."
Leaders of both parties agreed Saturday on legislation that they said would allow Schiavo's feeding tube, which was disconnected Friday afternoon, to be reinserted while federal courts review her case.
But when the House convened Sunday afternoon, Democrats made clear they would not let it pass on a voice vote, requiring the assembly of a quorum for a roll call vote.

And the Repubs were not ready for it? Naive.
Dems admit they can't win the vote, but they are going through this exercise anyway!
Even Hillary Clinton is smart enough not to say anything that brutal in public.
Hey John, when you come a-campaignin' up heah in New Hampshire for 2008, we'll remember what you said.
I think I'm going to be sick ...
Democrats are evil murdering satanists!! I can't believe they are doing this! They can never again say they are for the people the murders!!
I was just watching the Wasserman scuz on Fox News, bleating about how it's "inappropriate for the US Congress to intervene in a legal matter between a husband and wife and the courts". What a load of BS. Lying b!tch. She needs to be targeted for removal in '06, and sent packing. Now, the Moron idiot is on, doing the same thing. Disgusting liberal-demokkkRAT scumbags.
The psychotic male nurse with a death fetish says so, so it must be true.
This woman and her craven cronies are either godamned fools or vicious evil subhuman sick bastards.
Demo House are CRIMINAL ATTORNIES
GOP House are District Attornies...
PITIFUL POWER PLAY ON THE PART OF THE DEMS>>>
I was screaming at the television set when she said that Terri would not want food or water! What a LIAR....where's the proof? I am so irate right now!
i think it's their own politcal suicide.....
GREATEST IRONY AWARD: Congresswoman Wasserman-Schultz and Congressman Jim Moran talking about the Sanctity of Marriage and the right of the husband of Terri Schiavo to speak on her behalf .. the husband who's been living with his girlfriend who bore two of his out-of-wedlock children. Is this is the same Jim Moran who's been arrested for beating his wife? When his daughter had brain cancer, I didn't see him do anything but try to keep his child alive, but denies the Schindlers the same right. Just amazing.
bttt
At least I am not the only one screaming at my tv...my poor dog thinks I am nuts.....
Yes, its her, Wexler, Davis, Jim Moran, and Barney Frank standing with the grim reaper. What a collection of hate and evil and everything this country stands against.
Don't they remember Hitler?
Don't they remember the Holocaust?
Don't they remember the pictures of starving people being liberated from the concentration camps?
Don't they remember the stacks of bodies of those starved to death not plowed into a mass grave yet?
Don't they remember how painful it was to be slowly starved to death?
Don't they know, those starving to death in the concentration camps didn't drift off into this peaceful, painless comma as some nitwit on FOX news suggested who is pro killing Terri?
Perhaps they shouldn't pretend to be so enraged when someone callously brings up the Holocaust and disparaging remarks to all who lost their life there. Otherwise I dare say they are HYPOCRITES.
Hitler had a special program for the handicapped, brain damaged and disabled. They didn't wear a star. They wore another symbol to indicate they were also not worthy of his up and coming superior race and needed to be eradicated too.
Bob Beckel your a political hack... get over your rage for someone fighting for life.... DISGRACE!
