Perhaps some in GOP need backbone.
I'm sure the LA Times just printed this in the hopes of helping the GOP win more voters.
Convenient how they don't mention that this was actually bipartisan.
The only truth in this POS article maybe referring to Rinoies!
The Lala Times. Home of Bob Scheer. Pravda West.
Culture of Death seeping into the GOP......Disgusting!
When you do the right thing, you don't worry about the polls.
When you don't know what the right thing is, you think they may give you a clue.
The LA Slimes has a refind the journalistic art of publishing articles which appear to be NEWS, but are actually NEWS ANALYSIS. The problem with NEWS ANALYSIS is that it's very hard to tell the difference between it and EDUCATED GUESSING, WISHFUL THINKING or PLAIN OLD-FASHIONED SPIN. This kind of stuff really belongs on the opinion pages, or better yet, in the trash.
Pray for W and Terri
Well...It's certainly not going to win any.
"Some in GOP Fear Effort May Alienate Voters"
WTF, who are they, liberal demoncRATs?
That's right, quote a weak-kneed, quivering RINO... They are always in fear that anything they do might alienate some voters.
I just heard that most members of the Congressional Black Caucus voted FOR Terri's bill ("the Palm Sunday compromise").
And I just saw JESSE JACKSON on the MSNBC Dan Abrams's show say he thinks Terri's feeding tube should be reinserted.
Jackson added that Terri was "not brain dead, but brain impaired," and that it was wrong to starve a person to death.
I think that if the perception is to override the young lady's wishes, then that would turn voters off.
If the perception is to get a new look at the case, given a lot of dubious facts and innuendo, that's not a problem.
Freepers seeking to make Terri's plight a surrogate for something else are being foolish.
The Feds pretty much did what they could - there isn't anything left for them to do as a practical matter. The Schindler's attorney's should have pressed for a true de novo fresh look at the facts of the case. They didn't - that legal strategy could have cost days, and that could cost Terri her life.
Pressing beyond that, from a practical standpoint, doesn't make any sense. We called our congressclowns, they did their part, but it crapped out.
Sad.
Although the Mainstream Media has a harder time pulling off outright frauds nowadays, it is still in control of the Sheeple's minds by controling what the Sheeple will not hear as the Sheeple will do little to seek out information for themselves.
How much do the Sheeple really know about this case?
Consider the following ways to frame this issue in a poll:
"Should Congress interfere in the private legal decisions made by a husband and wife regarding their health care?"
"If your husband was living with another woman and having children with her, would you rather have your husband or your parents deciding end of life issues on your behalf?"
If the Schiavo bill alienates some voters, then so be it.
It's time to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I'd rather have people in the GOP who believe in life and are willing to act according to principles and for what is right.
Dear GOP, stop worrying about the ABC poll and just get the facts out. They're simple:
1) there is nothing but hearsay evidence from an estranged husband who remembered seven years after his wife's medical emergency that she once told him she didn't want to "live like this". There is nothing from Terri on this issue;
2) Terri is a disabled woman who responds to her environment, feels pain, and does not need "extraordinary measures" to stay alive --- just food and water;
3) Terri has a family willing and able to assume responsibility for her continued care and recovery; and ready to grant her estranged spouse the freedom from "the situation" that he seeks;
The GOP should grow a spine and stand tall and proud of its choice to fight for life over court-ordered murder.
Deep enough to keep the state of Ct from abusing your inalienable rights dingdong.
