As leaders of their party, with control over the executive and legislative branches in Fla and the U.S., they need to act on principle to stop this moral/judicial insanity in their state and nation.
As I said before, if Terry Schiavo were a Bush daughter she would not be in the process of being killed right now. Where there's a will, there's a way.
A principled politician would know enough to stay the hell out of the equation. What Delay pulled today was an embarassment. His acts of grandstanding have given the Democrats the ammo they need to further their wacko agenda. I've seen some screwups in politics, but todays facade on the Hill is the biggest one to date.
