Ramifications of Shiavo?
After years of giving Terri every chance to recover, her husband gave up hope and had her feeding tube pulled. Now he's being called a murderer on TV. It seems there would have been no problem if he had just let her go in the first place.
Do you think there are people watching this circus right now that will take this into consideration and not even try to save their loved ones?

thinking that if they were in Terri's position they would want the plug pulled and be horrified at the thought of being used as a political pawn. There has to be a point where they go too far and this is one of them.

4. the right wing will have galvanized their troops for 06
they now have more names on their mailing lists, more potential contributors, more organization. Start watching your local elections. They want to take over.
