You call this thread Congress sucks but you are concentrating only on democrats as though no republicans have their hands in the cookie jar.  It's you who sucks.

Our two party system is a ruse as they are one party with two wings.  They all suck.  It's funny, the right accuses the left of wanting to shove socialized medicine down people's throats, but it is the right that wants socialized medicine in their actions on schiavo, abortion, et al.  Crazy.  The only difference in the two is one side acts socialistic, the other are fascists.

Dan I agree with you on this...they BOTH DO suck....there are a handful of decent ones on BOTH sides, but the by far, dramatically SUCK....On Schiavo, I completely understood the STATE's action to NOT intervene...IN MOST cases....but in this one in particular, there was enough speculative, evidence to investigate the husbands motives...the bottom line though, I agreed with the State and there should have been NO intervention.  If falls back unto a Christian value, when a father GIVES away his daughter in the hands of matrimony, he gave up his rights of her, to her Husband.....I think parents should take this part of life more serious than they now do.

All the Schiavo case showed was the willingness of a group of assholes to go to great lengths in using their religion as a justification to stick their noses into other people's business.

in most situations i would agree, but this case had some other ramifications to it....i think there was a greedy husband with blood on his fingers....but, it is water under the bridge....btw, there was plenty of assholes on the other side of this issue also.

Oh, bullshit...this is just more of the same crap you constantly parrot from Rush Limbaugh, et. al.  The woman's brain was jello...she was dead.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

you have a manufactured answer for this one....you fell for the typical liberal view on this...despite there was a $800,000 trust fund that here husband, conveniently would receive AFTER her death....and there were 40 medical affidavits that was submitted to the court, which supported that she was not in a PVS....she was NOT dying, she had NO terminal disease or condition....she had no all rehab or therapy since 1992, because her husband had it stopped....the court SHOULD, in this case, stepped in and gave her an opportunity at more therapy, instead of STARVING her to death.
