House Majority Leader Tom DeLay
WASHINGTON, March 18 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today delivered the following remarks at a press availability on the House of Representatives' efforts to save the life of Terri Schiavo:
"It is now one o'clock on the East Coast, the time preordained by a Florida state judge to allow for denial of food and water to Terri Schiavo. This act of barbarism can be, and must be, prevented. The Senate has before it the Protection of Incapacitated Persons Act of 2005. This bill is the right thing to do. Unfortunately, they have chosen to adjourn rather than pass it.
"Those senators responsible for blocking the bill yesterday afternoon, Senators Boxer, Wyden, and Levin, have put Mrs. Schiavo's life at risk to prove a point - an unprecedented profile in cowardice. The American people are not interested in squabbles between Republicans and Democrats, or between the House and Senate. They care, and we care, about saving Terri Schiavo's life. The House bill will do that.
"Terri Schiavo is alive. She is not 'barely alive.' She is not 'being kept alive.' She is as alive as you or I, and as such we have a moral obligation to protect and defend her from the fate premeditated by the Florida courts. This is not over. We are still working, so are Mrs. Schiavo's lawyers, and so is the Florida state legislature. This is not over.
"To friends, family, and millions of people praying around the world this Palm Sunday weekend: do not be afraid. Terri Schiavo will not be forsaken."
My gosh... what cowards these people like Boxer, and company are.
Don't anyone ever dare tell me that liberlism is defined as compassion, or for the common man. These people have no morals, and are soul-less.

What else do you expect? They are liberals! Read me tag line !!!
For over 200 years, U.S. Marshals and their Deputies have served as the instruments of civil authority by all three branches of the U.S. government
Very satisfying to see the heavy left, rootless, cosmopolitan cockroaches in the US Senate [Wyden, Botoxer, Levin, to name but a few of such Godless scum] perfectly willing to kill a defenseless, innocent woman in order to protect their evil friends in the baby-killing, embryonic stem cell, euthanasia rackets from Hell. In so doing, they have morphed themselves into Gadarene swine running into the sea carrying their satanic evil in their rotten carcasses. May they all burn in Hell.
I'm too lazy to go back and get the posts of all the "conservatives" demanding that the federal government NOT get involved in the Alabama 10 commandments case. Demanding the state judge not fold. Demanding that the state was sovereign and the feds had no jurisdiction....
Isn't that the truth.
Oh no, not this again
Thanks for the info. I was worried there for a minute. I don't want the judicial branch having its own teeth. Dangerous. Here in Massachusetts we experienced what could happen when Governor Hutchinson was also the Chief Justice.
Wow, cool! I didn't know that anyone still used the phrase "rootless cosmopolitans" when referring to Jews. Sort of retro, but it has a certain ring to it.
You've posted that exact same thing on about ten threads.
======
That exact same thing is precisely relevant to each and every thread where it is posted. It is an effort to distribute it to as many FReepers as possible today. And considering that not all FReepers see all those threads, what's the harm? Would you also complain if it was a picture, rather than text ??? ;-))
You're not suppose to SPAM threads, but obviously you're message is more important than anybody else's on FR.
Good for DeLay. Call 'em out. They're sure trying to get HIM on nothing!
Democrats support the unmitigated murder of over 45,000,000,000 unborn babies. What is one brain-damanged woman to them?
c'mon relax will ya
If they (Congress, the White House, various Florida Republican officials, etc.) put as much effort into doing something about abortion, as they have with trying to save this one woman, one wonders how many lives could be saved every day....
Would you guess THIRTY times on basically the first page of posts???
If they had put as much effort into saving this woman as they have to "saving" baseball, this wouldn't be happening either.
The Feds vastly expanded the scope of their purview in the Roosevelt years through a misinterpretation of the "necessary and proper" clause of the enumerated powers of Congress, and through misuse of the interstate commerce clause to include anything that might indirectly impact interstate commerce (which everything does). The protection of the 14th amendment which extends to the lives of US citizens well predates that expansion.
Good lord.
But never mind; the rules don't apply, ya know?
Come on guy, it's not SPAM.
Just like dimbocrats, rules don't apply to them.
Rules and laws only apply to Republicans.
