You're more right than you know. Last week the Washington Post reported on an RNC memo in which they discuss how to use the Shiavo case as a wedge issue with voters for the next election. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51165-2005Mar20.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A51165-2005Mar20_2.html
" A memo distributed to Republican senators by party leaders called the case a "great political issue" and a "tough issue for Democrats," the Washington Post said in its Sunday edition. It said the case would excite the party's anti-abortion base and put pressure on Florida Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat who faces re-election next year. " So do they really give a damn about Terri Shiavo? There's enough evidence to say not rather what they are doing is shoring up their conservative base. And they accuse the Democrats of playing cynical politics. larry On Mon, 21 Mar 2005 11:44:59 -0500, Bill Wheatley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sucky case and its sucky that the republicans are taking this on > because they think the democrats have a weak case.
