Republicans Respond to Evangelicals on Schiavo
Although I find this to be sickening (the way our federal gov't has intervened), I am thrilled to see the Republicans bending over backwards to appease their base. It's this kind of grotesque abuse of power in the name of the religious zealots that will hopefully continue until mid-term elections. With any luck, the Republican majority will be scuttled by their complete and obvious beholdenness to evangelicals, big business with agendas that run counter to the interests of the people, and to right wing idealist psychopaths that think that the way to safety is through the minefield of perpetual war.
