More Right to Die rantings

I heard on the radio today that there was a memo circulated around congress to the republicans extoling the political benefits of passing a law just to save Mrs. Schiavo. Among the benefits was that it will make Democrats look bad, and there is a Florida Democrat up for reelection soon. This is all part of the same faux sentimentality that will let a Texas Governor and now PUSA condone the death penalty, and deny clemency out of one corner of his mouth, but in rushing back in an 11th bid to contradict the Judicial branch, gush about how laws should favor life, out of the other.

This is quite ironic that the neo-cons don't see the disconnect between their pro-life agenda, and their pro-death death penalty beliefs. How can executing retards, underage offenders or anyone for that matter be a law that favors life?

I'm glad that the Catholics are taking this opportunity to try and fight the Death Penalty again. It only serves to point out the hypocrasy of the "compassionate" conservatives.
