Do the decent GOP leaders realize that this has split the party in two and that Karl Rove, Ken Mehlman and Ed Gillespie underestimated how much support Terri had? It wasn't just the religious right. It was support from all quarters - people who vote. Terri shouldn't have been killed because of a political calculation but she was.
It was a great letter. Came by snail mail. I couldn't have been more pleased. I think he reads FreeRepublic. He had all the facts FV. He is a great Congresscritter.
"It wasn't just the religious right. It was support from all quarters - people who vote."
I think the MSM thought if they continued to say it was just the *Religious Right* who were against Terri being killed, they could then create more support for the execution. Also, they thought if they could make people believe it was JUST the religious right, they could mininize the issue or make it be about abortion rights. They even used the word *Right* and *Privacy*, just like in abortion.
Any politican who thinks most American people supported what was done to Terri, is a stinking fool. Howard Dean is the biggest fool of all to say he can use what people like Tom Delay did for Terri, as a tool against Republicans.
Like you said, this crosses ALL POLITICAL LINES~!!! I have demo friends and pro-choice friends who are against it. Contrary to what some may think, the American people are not dumb. They know when something IS NOT RIGHT. What was done to Terri was WRONG and no amount of spin will ever make it right.
