58 Congresspeople with a spine

[gauguin57]

Freepers/Canada Free Press are spreading a Web page with the pix of 58 congresspeople who voted against Terri's Law.

http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/cover032505.htm

They're calling them THE "NO-WATER" CAPITOL HILL GANG. Freepers are calling the Democratic Party the "party of Death."

I call them 58 people with cajones -- the cajones to stand up to the religious right and against the politicization of the private plight of a woman in a vegetative state who didn't want to be kept alive in that state.

1. Do they understand that this law only allowed the parents to

go back to the federal courts?? The law didn't allow for the tube to be reconnected.

2. They don't WANT to understand that.

They want to make up evil stories and spread them as fast as possible.

3. I know they don't even have a clue about the actual law

because that would require reading and actual comprehension.

6. No Shows

They on the blacklist too? Remember, only THREE Senators even showed up to vote.

Even the entire House didn't show up. I checked my state New York. Three Representatives out of 29 showed up to vote. All REPUBLICANS and ALL voted NO.

5. Hypethetically

If a federal judge were in rule to have the tube reinserted, wouldn't that be JUDICIAL ACTIVISM?

4. "party of Death"

Excuse me. Who is responsible for >100,000 Iraqui civilian and <1500 US deaths?
