When did Repukes become so sensitive about death?
These are folks who say of Arabs, "Blow em all up."

These are folks who won't even LOOK at pictures of dead and maimed Iraqi babies, and who show by every word and action that they couldn't care less about those children's lives. None of them risked anything saving any unborn Iraqi lives. None of them would protest their deaths. None of them would hold up posters showing the precious faces of Iraq's dead babies.


These are people - when told that our kids didn't have proper body armor to fight in a war and that many will die as a result - said, "They asked to join up. What did they expect? You go to war with the army you have!" None of them would protest a soldier's death in an unjust war. None of them would hold up posters of dead American kids, cut down in the prime of life so Repuke demi-Gods can shovel a little more money into their death machine.

These are people who say no American has any right to decent health care or clean air or healthy food. "If they're sick and in poor health, God struck them down for some reason and it would be immoral for me to help them. And the government shouldn't help them either."

These are people who gloat when Democrats die, who threaten acts of violence against people they disagree with, who act like psychos on the road if you don't like their bumper stickers.

But they suddenly care about the sanctity of life?

Give me a big fat fucking break.

2. What do you mean
"who's taking the definition of life away from the church?"

Sorry, I'm thick today. Do you mean they are angry that the church doesn't have the final say, or that they are getting their cues from the church and that's why they're so insane?

They are freaking me out.

3. when they can use it to their political advantage
just this week:

10 died in a school shooting -- where were the repugs?

14 died in an oil refinery explosion -- where were the repugs?

ongoing:
WMDs still MIA -- where are the investigations?
War profiteering by Halliburton (et al) - where are the investigations?
Invade countries based on lies -- where are the investigations?

remove one feeding tube? Time to call in a special session, pass some legislation, this is important....

9. I'm sayin'.....
I mean, if she was some inner-city African American they would not even bat an eyelash. If she was just a soldier, so what? They don't even want to see their COFFINS for Christ's sake.
