Thank you for this creepy peek into the Frist-DeLay agenda.

From Frist:

One of the first tests we will have is this whole confirmation of judges. This is at the top of the challenges that we must overcome in this Congress. We all know that activist judges in the past have recently cited international law written by U.N. bureaucrats, they directly undermined marriage being between a man and a woman, they struck down our partial-birth abortion bans, and these activist judges are not interpreting the Constitution, they’re re-writing it, and that’s wrong, and it’s something that I know you’re committed to and I’m committed to. I’m also committed to overcoming the minority’s filibuster and restoring this 220 years or more of Senate tradition and history --

From DeLay:

But the point is, whatever happens come Monday, we’re going to solve this issue, one way or another. My admonition to you is, if you can help us. I’m going to a press conference in just a minute, and name Senator Ron Wyden, Senator Carl Levin, and Senator Barbara Boxer are stopping us from saving Terri Schiavo life by not passing the House bill.



then later this:

And I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, one thing that God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo, to elevate the visibility of what’s going on in America that Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks. I mean, in America, that’s going to happen if we don’t win that fight. So it’s bigger than any one of us, and we have to do everything that is in our power to save Terri Schiavo and anybody else that may be in this kind of position.

And finally, this--playing the victim!:

And let me just finish with this. This is exactly the issue that’s going on in America, of attacks against the conservative movement, against me and against many others. The point is, the other side has figured out how to win and defeat the conservative movement, and that is to go after people personally, charge them with frivolous charges, link that up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros, and then get the national media on their side. That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that’s to destroy the conservative movement. It’s to destroy conservative leaders, not just in elected office but leading. I mean, Ed Feulner of the Heritage Foundation was under attack in the National Journal.


This is too precious. Talking about how the left knocks out the leaders of the right. How the left and the media is trying to destroy the conservative movement.

I may have to make a separate post of this!
