Tom Delay: "One thing that God has brought to us is Terry Schiavo"
I don't know if this has already been posted here, so I apologize in advance for any duplication of information. CNN just reported that individuals had secretly infiltrated a Republican meeting last Friday and had tape recorded Tom Delay telling his audience that the Schiavo case was heaven sent so that Republicans could push forward their agenda. This CBS story from today is all I have been able to find on the net. It only has a brief excerpt. CNN had a more lengthy segment of a tape recording that was particularly interesting. CBS News states:

"...last Friday House Leader Tom DeLay told the Family Research Council --a leading Christian group -- the Schiavo case was sent by heaven to focus attention on the helpless. ..."

"...One thing that God has brought to us is Terry Schiavo, to help elevate the visibility of what's going on in America,'' DeLay said Friday. ..."

6. Republicans are Accustomed to Relationships
with phantom people. Starting with their relationship with God. Terry Shavio's missing cortex presents no obstacle.

7. I wish they would focus on the helpless
and fund homeless programs, health care for all, schools, jobs and economic opportunity. The list of helpless people who need government action is endless at this time of economic decline.

13. God brought us the opportunity for integrity
"...One thing that God has brought to us is Terry Schiavo, to help elevate the visibility of what's going on in America,'' DeLay said Friday. ..."

The Family Research Council could do well by putting their money where their mouth is and work to end the death penalty and stop the stupid war.

That is SOOOOO not going to happen. And, thus, their words are completely meaningless. If I can recognize them and all of their whore politicians for the hypocrites and fools that they are, it is certainly not going to be a problem for God to do the same.

**IMPROVE TEXAS WITHOUT DELAY!!"

I hope America has an elevated visibility of what't going on in America. They'll be lynching these bastards.
