It would be a mistake tho presume government executives to be basically conservative, as their very own lifeline relies on a nanny state system preserving their jobs and pay. In this instance they can hardly contain their glee at the strangulation of conservative values evolving the GOP into GLOP and merging incestuously with the democrat party as two ugly daughters of socialism.

And, of course, these lefties recognize the burden of Terri's Legacy as a looming factor.

Scandals at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, meanwhile, sullied the GOP's image. And although most Republicans originally supported the president's decision to go to war in Iraq, many more now question the strategies and tactics, and bemoan that the U.S. went in with too few forces and no occupation plan. Party members also acknowledge that the United States has squandered the global respect and goodwill that arose from the 9/11 tragedy. Finally, they voice disappointment with the GOP's emphasis on social, cultural, and religious issues, pointing especially to the controversies over the Terri Schiavo case and over embryonic-stem-cell research.......

Mother Jones and arbitrary, an interesting word combo!

Kruse's story is designed as an antidote to a year's worth of arbitration horror stories that have played on Capitol Hill since the Democrats regained control of Congress. Democrats have held hearings related to nearly a dozen bills currently pending to ban mandatory arbitration clauses in contracts governing everything from meatpacking to the employment of military reservists. Some of these bills are even supported by Republicans, including Ken Connor, a Virginia lawyer who represented Jeb Bush in the Terri Schiavo case, and Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), who cosponsored the most recent bill to ban arbitration clauses in nursing home contracts. The slew of public hearings, complete with compelling victims, has put a big black eye on the practice that the chamber hopes Kruse will counter with her down-home message.....

If the average Republican is upset that the GOP tried to
save an innocent disabled woman from her murderous
spouse, we are beyond hope.

How about something to really be upset about?

Like throwing our sovereignty into the trash for a
North American Union?

Or turning a blind eye to forced abortion and organ harvesting
from political dissidents in China while awarding Most Favored
Nation trade status?

Can we be upset that our borders are a porous joke?
Or that over 4,000 innocent pre-born babies are slaughtered
each day - 1,400 + black babies?

Or that the racist billion dollar a year Planned Parenthood
receives $300 million in taxpayer support even while
taking money earmarked for killing black babies.

If the Republicans don’t figure out what really matters,
they are doomed to the ash heap of history!
