Exclusive: Print document of Republican Schiavo talking points leaked to Raw Story
------------------------

A source on Capitol Hill has leaked the print version of the Republicans’ “talking points” on the Florida woman who Congress is attempting to keep alive to RAW STORY late Monday afternoon. The document appears below, followed by the print version of the talking points.

The document was not printed on any letterhead or attributed to any specific Republican office, and has been rebuked by Republicans on the Hill despite its apparent authenticity.

1. Someone should draw the bright line between "incapacitated" and "dead"

4. Ted Bundy... wow. These people are amazing.
It is an art, an evil art, but an art.

The levels on which that argument is absurd and stupid are infinate, but it connects on just the right level that alot of people will buy it.

keep in mind this is a DC gossip blog so the tip could be completely bs, but I thought it was relevent to this thread. Regardless, I would really like to know for certain where this hideous memo originated.

7. Today's Republicans have no moral compass...
...they have no basic ideals, it's all about POWER and they will do or say or politicize ANYTHING that will garner them votes and support of the masses. Their ultimate goal is to crush the Democratic Party flat.

8. "The Incapacitated Person's Legal Protection Act"
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 07:24 PM by MrMonk
Is that the actual title of the Act?
I mean, with the definite article and singular possessive?

Or was it an unconscious slip by someone in Santorum's office?

The actual title: "AN ACT For the relief of the parents of Theresa Marie Schiavo"

http://news.findlaw.com/hdocs/docs/schiavo/bill31905.html

The Act is very tightly focused on allowing one particular district court to hear motions from Terri's parents on this one particular matter.

The Talking Points just barely reflect the Act itself.
They are shit sausage.
