- Once again, clearing away the personal part, the Republicans are on the offensive and the Democrats are on the defensive. That's a Noteable fact.
As Democrats, we might as well assume that even if we give near unanimous support to some of the most extreme, right-wing, fundamentalist Christians in this country, we will never neutralize their hatred of us nor will we diminish their desire to vote for the Tom Delays and the Rick Santorums and against us. Quite simply, we have nothing to gain from supporting the Republicans in this effort and what we have done, or failed to do, in supporting the Schiavo bill is dangerously similar to what we did in the run up to war in Iraq by supporting the Iraq War Resolution. Far from disarming our critics, the bipartisan support for the IWR simply cemented the GOPs dominance on the national security front and later helped bring down our nominee for President.
