Bush and the Republicans are screwed on Terry

If they find some way to intervene, mainstream America will be pissed. Just look at the poll numbers for Congress's little fiasco last week. If they do not intervene and Terry dies, the religious nuts are going to go haywire on them, saying they didn't do enough. They are worked up enough over this that I can see them abandoning the Republicans for good and starting their own right-wing loony party. Either way, Bush is screwed. He never should have gotten his dirty little paws into this mess.

1. And silence has been golden for the Dems.

If it's hailing, don't go outside.

2. It's like watching a robot who's circuit board is going hay wire. They just

can't understand why they are not getting their own way. I hate to say it I feel bad for the women, yet find this whole insanity funny.

3. Would that it were true.... BUT

They did EVERYTHING they could, but the nasty, secular judiciary killed poor Terry. So we MUST donate all our available cash to see that a "culture of life" is installed in our justice system.

This, I fear is how it will play out, revving up the base as usual - and as usual, "real" Republicans remaining in denial and giving Bushco yet one more pass.

8. This is the sad truth.

It will be, over and over and over again, *all about* those "liberal activist" judges.

Bet on it. :grr:

9. I don't think people will buy it

The court of public opinion is firmly on Michael's side.

5. I hope he digs his dirty paws deeper...

the more he and Jeb fuck with this private matter, the more people are realizing that he's a nutcase.

Keep up the good work, Bush brothers!

11. Double-standard rhetoric

If the "sanctity of marriage" is so sancrosanct to Christian Conservative Republicans, why are they trying to deny Michael Schiavo the right to decide his wife's fate?

If the "right to life" is so mightily important to them, where is their outrage over American and Iraqi war casualties or the death penalty?

If they did not object to Judges deciding the 2000 Presidential election, why are those who rule against them labelled "Activist" Judges?

When the rhetoric conveniently shifts to serve their Agenda Du Jour, they become the epitome of hypocrites. Maybe Middle America will wake up and recognize them for what they are.
