Someone's been reading the polls.
Methinks the congresscritters now see what a pig in a poke they bought. I also see that they're backing off the "nuclear option".
The repercussions will continue apace. I fear for SS reform now.
The GOP in congress chose to expend enourmous political capital here. What they didn't know is that it was a sucker bet.
And the idea that now the President or the Governor will now order TROOPS, fer the luvva Mike, to deal with this is delusional.
The Republicans SHOULD HAVE SPENT ALL their political capital to save Terri. Terri's death will hurt them in 2006 & 2008. Bush won Ohio because the Conservative base came out. Now if the Republicans can't defend Terri's life, why vote for them.

It's the Republican political version of Vietnam.

If I was Dubya, you'd be hearing the drones of C-130's over the hospice with paratroopers coming down. Sigh..... THere are times I feel politically homeless, well the Democrat are self explanitory but between the Republicans supporting the bankruptcy reform and the inaction from W and his brother on Terri, I really can't be certain on the Republicans either. This is a poison pill to be sure.
