The loony left still tries to tag Terri with their failing mantra. It is a logic which would make Karl Marx smile if he could do more than a twisted grimace these days.

This is why Republicans lost elections across the country. Consider three cases in point: overspending, corruption and the Terri Schiavo controversy.
