"The whole mess has illustrated the GOP's lack of leadership. In that sense, it will hurt the party."

Good. Social conservatives have been loyal to the GOP on the basis of a purported commitment to work against the culture of death. The Terri S. case presented the GOP with a moment of truth. When push comes to shove, the GOP will spend little "political capital" to advance a cultural of life.

I'm sick tired of radical clerics and religiously insane wingnuts like you representing the public face of the Republican party. In the Schiavo case, you have behaved EXACTLY like liberals when they don't get their way. This includes throwing childish temper tantrums amd claiming those who have a different opinion on this difficult matter are reincarnations of Hitler etc.
