Spinmeister on Washington Journal named Bacon
thinks the next election will not be affected by Schiavo because the republicans are committed to the cause and that democrats will simply forget by then.

The thing is, we're all going to die. And I think most of us are aware that if we don't put the brakes on now, the republicans will try to make Living Wills and Advance Directives null and void in the future.

That scares me enough that I think its safe to say that I, for one, will not forget. Not in 2 years. Not in 4 years. Not in 8 years. Not ever.

2. The cause is to destroy the
Democratic Party and make the middle class subservient. There will be three classes Poor, Rich and Richer. They think that they should rule the world and I am serious about that. They are forgetting that the economy and the dollar is not going to allow that. They are so arrogant that they still think we are No. 1 and we are quickly turning into 2nd place.

3. Republicans won't be committed to "the cause" because...
The amount of money it would take to prolong the lives of all the brain-dead people in this country would bankrupt the treasury. I don't think the Republicans really thought this through. In trying to appease the Christian Right, they didn't consider the tens of thousands of potential court cases that the Schiavos saga will inspire. They also didn't see the enormous cost of having severely brain damaged people kept alive artificially.

5. He's wrong. The republicans are going to continue to attack judges
and whine about Bush getting only a record percentage, rather than all, of his judicial nominees confirmed. Everytime this happens the Schiavo case will be in many peoples' minds and will represent an example of the republican postion on judges. Most people will not want judges to follow the orders of the republican party rather than the law.
