The Schiavo issue

[scaeagles]

Just heard the ruling of the Federal judge on the radio. The tube stays out.

There is a time to accept defeat, even when you disagree wholeheartedly. I hope that all involved will just let it go now.

I know there is no way anyone can be "happy" with the situation. It's sad no matter what.

It won't happen. Tom DeLay has an ass to save -- his own.


"On Friday, as the leaders of both chambers scrambled to try to stop the removal of Ms. Schiavo's feeding tube, Mr. DeLay, a Texas Republican, turned his attention to social conservatives gathered at a Washington hotel and described what he viewed as the intertwined struggle to save Ms. Schiavo, expand the conservative movement and defend himself against accusations of ethical lapses.

"One thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo, to help elevate the visibility of what is going on in America," Mr. DeLay told a conference organized by the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group. A recording of the event was provided by the advocacy organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State.

"This is exactly the issue that is going on in America, of attacks against the conservative movement, against me and against many others," Mr. DeLay said.

Mr. DeLay complained that "the other side" had figured out how "to defeat the conservative movement," by waging personal attacks, linking with liberal organizations and persuading the national news media to report the story. He charged that "the whole syndicate" was "a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in."


And all this time I thought DeLay was crooked and immoral. Turns out he's just a victim of politically driven personal attacks.
