I'm not the only one that believes Terri Schiavo was used buy a faction of the Republican party for political gains. #---------------------------------- Excerpt: But I call your attention to this little item contained therein: In 2005, Santorum made headlines — not all positive — for visiting the deathbed of Terri Schiavo, the woman at the center of a national right-to-die controversy. What my Philadelphia Daily News colleague John Baer later exposed was that the real reason he was in the Tampa, Fla., area was to collect money at a $250,000 fundraiser organized by executives of Outback Steakhouses, a company that shared Santorum's passion for a low minimum wage for waitresses and other rank-and-file workers. Santorum’s efforts were also aided by his unusual mode of travel: Wal-Mart's corporate jet. And he canceled a public meeting on Social Security reform "out of respect for the Schiavo family" even as the closed fundraisers went on. What I care about is that he exploited family's personal tragedy for his own political gain. What I care about is that this good Catholic boy committed what the Jesuits of my youth would have called an unforgivable mortal sin against charity. What I care about is that he contributed to a disgusting public spectacle that made life difficult for some wonderful people doing great, impossible work, people whose boots he is not worthy to lick. God, I hope there is an accounting one day. http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/rick-santorum-terri-schiavo-6633360 #---------------------------------- Regards, LelandJ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
