Exactly. How ludicrous of Dubya to rush back to Washington to sign this bill into law. When Governor of Texas, he effectively sentenced hundreds to death by putting his signature on a law that brings about the opposite result. And, I am not talking about death row inmates.

If Terri Schiavo was not a resident of Florida, there would be no such outcry from the Republicans in Washington. If Jeb Bush was not
the Governor of Florida, it would have never gotten this far.

He is starting his presidential campaign early with the help of his brother in the WH, and the other idiot politicians. One needs only to read the Repub memo to understand where their priorities lie:

"An unsigned one-page memo, distributed to Republican senators, said the debate over Schiavo would appeal to the party's base, or core, supporters. The memo singled out Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), who is up for reelection next year and is potentially vulnerable in a state President Bush won last year.

"This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue," said the memo, which was reported by ABC News and later given to The Washington Post. "This is a great political issue, because Senator Nelson of Florida has already refused to become a cosponsor and this is a tough issue for Democrats."
