I think you're a little too quick to prejudice, Vrai. If they'd ignored the family then they'd be criticized for being insensitive. Either way they'd have been wrong in people's opinions.vraiblonde said:No offense, 2A, but this Terri Schiavo mess has turned me completely off having the religious folks running the country. It never seemed like a big deal until just these last two weeks.

Was this really a religious argument? The media made it religious with the daily front page pictures of prayer vigils plus some religious types that were true extremists. The big stink about DeLay's "God gave us Terri" statement was also given a lot of press and treated as though it was Republican policy. The argument was the law, was she or wasn't she already dead? Should we pay our tax dollars on her? For how long? etc. etc. The majority of arguments on this board were not religious. The media made the Presidential election a religious victory and a moral victory when it was actually a flip flopper, no solution to anything Democratic loser with a drunk wife that lost the race on his own. The media put the religious spin on it.

The GOP stands to be decimated, justly so, by this issue IF the Democrats don't get in the way, which they likely will because they're stupid most of the time, not just once in awhile. It is an absolute embarrassment to call myself a Republican in light of this DU 'esque rambling, unprincipled Clintonian meaning of 'is' 'just win, baby' farce.
