IMO this Shiavo case is just another example of how right dictates the issues, pushing aside issues such as the deficit, the economy, Iraq, the environment, workers rights, etc etc.

It is right up there with gay marriage and abortion. The right uses these issues as distractions and while everyones distracted they do something else to destroy America.

Im sure some people feel strongly about issues such as gay marriage and abortion, but not everyone is affected. However EVERYONE is affected by the national debt, the economy, health care costs, social security and environment.

When are we going to start dictating the issues instead of reaacting to the ones the right dictates??

1. I've noticed the "starving" and "killing" frame
If I were in Pinellas County FL, I'd be outside the Hospice with a big ol' sign "Protect Terri's Civil Rights! Respect Her Wish to be with God!"

Cross and Flag mandatory, of course! :evilgrin:
