Time will tell, but the prolife outrage over this may have sealed the doom of the "Republican experiment" that began in 1994 and expanded in 2000. What's the use of electing Republicans if they cannot even prevent an innocent handicapped woman from being starved and dehydrated in broad daylight? The GOP is impotent.
No one, tells me what the alternative would be...
The alternative is not particpating in the political system on the grounds that whatever outcome is chosen by the voters makes no practical difference -- only philosophical debating points are truly at stake.
I do not blame Gov. Bush or President Bush.
I get gobs of mail from the Republicans wanting donations. I have donated in the past and also sent money to Judge Roy Moore's defense fund. I don't regret sending the money to Judge Moore, however I do regret the other donations.
Next time I get one of their gimmee letters, I think I'll send it back with my message on it...Did you enjoy your dinner while Terri Shiavo was starved. I watched the news, the vigils were broadcast, but I didn't see you there.
The next letter may state "Don't you have something better to do? Our courts are in a real mess, until you've corrected that problem, you're useless and you're job should be completely eliminated.
