First of all, Saundra, I admire your commitment to fasting. God Bless you. I wish I had your strength.

You know, it's funny (well, not really), earlier I posted that I was "about to go to the store and wanted to check FR first."

My first, unedited post was that I had to go to the grocery store. Suddenly I realized that putting the word "grocery" in my post seemed incredibly, I don't know, unseemly, unfair, just not right.

I can hop in the minivan and head off to the grocery for food or even bottled water, while there is a woman being murdered in this inhuman way. So I just said, "store."

"I couldn't believe some of the callers I just heard on C-Span. The monsters!! They are demented. Evil."

I didn't hear them but I can guess what they said. I can only hope and pray that they are speaking like that out of ignorance. I think, if the facts became known to the public, that they would not be so in favor of letting Terri die.

The problem is, most people see this as a personal family decision between husband and wife and they don't understand why the Congress is getting involved. And I do think that the Congresspeople, and President Bush, who are doing this understand that there may be a political cost, because of the pure media-fed ignorance of most of the American public.

But they're working to save Terri anyway. Tom Delay said President Bush would "enthusiastically" (or something like that) sign the bill.

This, despite polls that indicate most people support Michael Schiavo.

Yes, but most people do not know the facts of the case. It takes hours of work to find out, and the American people won't devote the time and care required to learn the facts.

The anti-Terri C-Span callers went after the pro-Terri callers with a vengeance. It was gruesome! They are hysterical. But over all, I think there were actually more pro Terri callers than anti Terri. He let this one woman drone on and on forever it seemed with her venomous ideas about the Republicans and Tom Delay. Oh, how they hate us pro Terri types. LOL!

This is why I become so infuriated at those that accuse them of grandstanding or doing nothing. The public does not know the details, the MSM is lying, and thanks to the short time in this instance there is no time to explain it. It's developing moment by moment. But the Reps are doing it anyway no matter the cost. They need to be respected and supported for doing the right thing in the face of public ignorance. And those few Dems that are apparently signing on, I thank them as well.
