specifically, the unusual intervention of Congress in a family matter - could contribute to unease among moderate suburbanites who vote Republican on the economy and national security but are less comfortable with religious conservatives' dominance of the party on social issues. Well, we tried to point that out early on, didn't we? And we drummed off the "main" Terri threads.
Some people were upset with W. and Jeb about what they didn't do; most people were upset with them about what they DID do.

I live in the Bible Belt and came home a little while ago from a party. I deliberately asked every single person there (over 40 people) what they thought about this matter.
With the exception of two Democrats, we are ALL staunch Republicans and we're all over 40 (for what that's worth). Everyone, to a person, thought Congress should stay out of this.
And several thought that, like me, an unintended consequence is that some conservatives have moved more to the middle.

Some people were upset with W. and Jeb about what they didn't do; most people were upset with them about what they DID do. That's right. That's always going to be the case. That's why they should have just done the right thing and let the chips fall. Instead, they chose the worst of all possible worlds. Very sad.

Some people were upset with W. and Jeb about what they didn't do; most people were upset with them about what they DID do.No matter what they did or didn't do, they both failed in the matter ........ big time (most of that "failing" is in the public perception).
G.W. is paying for it now in the silly polls, and Jeb will be taking the heat for his "actions" for the rest of his living days.
It's sad ........ but true.
Both of these guys I prefer to like, but the Schiavo chapter was not their best moment.
