Reply #20: I don't know that the GOP has captured the hearts of Americans

[kbm8170]

After watching DeLay's remarks this morning on Good Morning America, this seems like Republican grandstanding at its worst. This case is something that the 700 Club and the religious Right have been braying about ever since this case started in Florida - this is pandering to these people in the worst form.

Moreover, ABC cited one poll that indicated that some 87% of Americans agreed that if they were in Terri's condition they would want to be allowed to die - so what exactly is the intent of this Congressional grandstanding?

I do agree - Democrats should take the opportunity to point out the expense here - especially since some of them cooperated in passing that Bankruptcy Act with a full understanding that nearly one out of every two new bankruptcies are the direct result of overwhelming medical expenses, NOT financial irresponsibility.
