Most of the Democrats either did not show up (cowardess)when called upon to reconvene in Washington DC on the weekend of Mar 19-20, or stood in the way of saving Terri Shiavo from a miserable, tortuous, sadistic murder at the hands of the Florida judiciary. They realized that any legislation passed would need unanimous consent due to congressional rules applying to that weekend due to the recess. Most of them (the ones who did show up, aren't thet "sweet"?) therefore demanded a watered-down version of the bill passed just enough for the US District, Circuit, and Supreme Courts to have an excuse not to prevent the appalling and detestable execution of Ms. Schiavo. Meanwhile the Republicans pressed for a much stonger bill that these courts could not have circumvented. I disdain the Democrat party, and hope and will work for its demise, just as most of them hoped and worked for the torturous, horrific, and hastened slaughter of poor defenseless angel Terri Schiavo. My prayers are constantly with her, her family, her friends, and the good people of this great nation of ours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1111362495302037952005-03-20T18:48:00.000-05:002005-03-20T18:48:00.000-05:00So the Liberals rode and weighed in - with their c...So the Liberals rode and weighed in - with their customary civility!

You have this completely backwards and wrong. All the medical evidence has been weighed, all the testimony about what Terri would have wanted has been heard, and each time this goes to court they always reach the same decision: she is a vegetable and wouldn't have wanted to live that way. Apparently you and Tom Delay and president bush know better, though. Thank goodness you're here to save us all from ourselves. This nothing but ideology, sentimentality and political expediency being given greater importance than the facts of the case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871003.post-1111342279582497412005-03-20T13:11:00.000-05:002005-03-20T13:11:00.000-05:00To you, Jonathan, I must tell this, the hardest th...To you, Jonathan, I must tell this, the hardest thing for a writer to say: "I could not have said it better myself."<BR/><BR/>I think that if the Congressional bill succeeds in saving her, the blogosphere will again have played a significant role, although it is not likely to be acknowledged.Jay D.
