The Schiavo issue

[SacTown Chronic]

Just so we're clear: It was Jeb Bush's attorney, Ken Conner, with the help of a friend - Florida Congressman Dave Weldon (R), who schemed to take this issue to the next level.


I love, no, make that loathe, the attempt being made around the country to spin the Democrat's refusal to ensnare themselves into a moral values trap sprung by the Republicans into a "bipartisan" effort supported by everyone. With Pro-Life activist Randall Terry (Or read this if you can stomach the lies) and his army of like-minded zealots itching to label any politician who opposes Congress getting involved with this issue as being "against life", who can blame the Democrats for taking a pass on this fight?

Having said that, there are, I concede, many Democrats who do believe that Congress is doing the right thing here and they voted accordingly. There were also, much to my surprise, several Republicans who voted against this bill.
