There is another factor as well. We Republicans of years back agreed on these many values we still share today, but we gained little traction. Some of our crowd took bigger steps, and were quickly rewarded with prominence and fame. It is a bit (or more) like selling one's soul. The taste of power trumps the taste of money and is addictive.

A new and foreign concept grows, that of compromise. Compromise just a little, get a big reward. And you are launched into the new level of power. Some cleaved mostly to original convictions and still did well, a rare thing indeed.

The senator from New York has something to say about stem cells, too!

Faithfully reported by the illustrious St. Pete Times...

"They decided the most important health issues were exploiting the tragedy of Terri Schiavo and stifling stem cell research," said Clinton, who last year drew criticism for staying mum when the Senate pushed for intervention in the Schiavo case.

Snip

Kerr said she's a strong voice for the Democratic Party. "She's mellowed, if you will, over the last couple years," Kerr said. "She's not nearly as far left as people used to think."

Ya think?

Time to take our country back, Clinton tells crowd

Vote for Republicans who would not kill someone like Terri and don't vote for Republicans who would kill someone like Terri.

It's that simple or their oaths of office are fraudulent.
