HA HA HA! I need to go fishing with Mark Steyn:)
The only thing that brought me back to my senses was a visit to DU.
Try it..it will do wonders for realigning your allegiance.
Those people over there are not only self centered but morally bankrupt as well.
So what's your answer? Just let people be starved to death? Is that what the Republican party should stand for? And I guess partial birth abortion is just a "choice" also? The Republicans didn't do enough to stop Terri's cold-blooded murder, but they did a whole lot more than the death party, didn't they?
Hahahaa, Mark Steyn nails it again!
You know what they say about turkeys...they drown when it rains. Not very intelligent creatures. Certain turkeys can go pluck themselves...
Now, now ....

That 70% is from 2 weeks ago. The numbers are changing fast in the latest polls.
No offense, but you sound like one of those wineey Democrats who vowed to leave the USA because GWB was re-elected.
I fought hard in support of Terri Shindler. I sent money to the Shindler's. I called govt. reps and asked to help save Terri.
I called talk radio over and over.
In short, I fought hard in support of life. I, and most others, would never abandon the party which exemplifies and represents life better than any other.
For those who are THAT willing to 'take your ball and go home,' I suggest you should look deep inside your own self to find what is really motivating you.
I agree. It will take a while for word of what really happened to Terri to spread.
Nancy Cruzan was *killed* years ago, yet I didn't know this until this month.
"[Nancy Cruzan, three days before her death from starvation] turned and looked at me and stared at me with a panicky look, sweating profusely, and the thought I had was, she was thinking, Oh, heres a policeman, hell help me. But we werent allowed to do that,"...Doug Seneker
*Michael's friend, "(Dr.Death") Cranford says it is all right to use the word "kill" when referring to physician assisted death.**
He's NOT?? Those are real names? Hahahahhaa.
It is merely anecdotal, but I spoke with a conservative lady who grew up reflexively voting for Democrats but has voted Republican recently because, like Senator Miller, today's party was no longer the Democratic party she recognized.
She was livid with anger about the starvation of poor Mrs. Schiavo; I don't think the Democrats can reckon on getting another for vote from her for county dog-catcher after their performance in this case.
[In fairness, I should have pointed out that Republicans in the Florida senate were disappointing on this issue, but the larger point that nationally the Democrats were indeed in the pro-death camp and the Republicans were not makes that point only a note for the sake of completeness. Indeed, there were a number of Democrats who were not in the pro-death camp, including Florida Senator Al Lawson.]
You will enjoy post #35 I think.
Yes, we must fight on and never give up. It is imperative. Opting-out is not an option.
As usual Mark is right on target.
It isn't just the liberals who spend 24/7/365 predicting or announcing the end of the Republicans. The walk on the water conservatives, one issue conservatives and the Rinos who claim to be Republicans post that bs every day on Free Republic.
I have seen probably a thousand such posts in my short time on Free Republic blaming the Republicans for everything from being too weak to too strong. Of course the usual FR jackals/Rinos descend on these threads with the same Doom and Gloom replies. Of course GW is usually the end target of all of the Glooming and Dooming.
Well, it didn't happen and isn't happening.
He's got that right.
Once the Florida courts said "NO", however, the focus should be to re-write the LAW that would address this type of circumstance.
BTW, I don't recall the outrage when Karen Quinlan dominated the headlines.
"I haven't vilified anybody in Congress or the White House. I'm glad President Bush made that gesture in signing that bill requesting the judges take another look at evidence."
You don't sound like wppff, Delay was mocked and jeered for "grandstanding" and President Bush was sneered at for leaving his vacation.
