Think about it...we are in a war, Social Security will likely go bust along with Medicare, taxes are a mess, we desperately need tort reform and energy-policy reform, and yet the entire federal government + one state government are working round the clock for one woman in PVS who wanted to die in this circumstance.
And all for the bleating of a few activists.
One of my buddies, watching this unfold last week, summed it up thus:"WOW! Good thing nothing else is going on, or they wouldn't have had the time to put to this!". This was spoken in the context of a maintinence type who hasn't got the parts he needs to fix our squadron aircraft before we deploy this Summer.
I will have to keep my ears open tomorrow after everyone comes back from Spring Break to hear what the fall out is among the conservatives I work with. And the Dems.
More than half have done "boots on the ground" in Iraq and have seen goings on first hand. Some are even intimately involved in creating the first Military Academy in Afghanistan.
And as I am sure you are aware most the military here are very religious so I am curious as to their take on this on multiple levels.
"WOW! Good thing nothing else is going on..."
Funny, my husband just said the same thing yesterday.
