I thought the Republicans had already committed suicide by supporting Terri? So if they are going to lose all their seats in '06 because of it, might as well make good use of the next two years right?
In point of fact I dismiss they'll pay a heavy price for this on election day but I argue the logic is flawed. A party that has already committed "suicide" has nothing to lose by doing the right thing and balancing our branches the way they should be.
Actually, the problem is that the religious right will most likely not repay the loan of goodwill they've received from the GOP. After getting the Republicans to put the nuclear option and Social Security reform on permanent hold to meet their demands, the religious right is now making noises of bolting the party because President Bush and Governor Bush didn't send in the Marines and the National Guard to Wacoize Schiavo, Felos, and Greer.
