"It is more than just Terri Schiavo. This is a critical issue for people in this position, and it is also a critical issue to fight that fight for life, whether it be euthanasia or abortion. I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, one thing God has brought to us is Terri Schiavo to elevate the visibility of what's going on in America. That Americans would be so barbaric as to pull a feeding tube out of a person that is lucid and starve them to death for two weeks. I mean, in America that's going to happen if we don't win this fight.
"And so it's bigger than any one of us, and we have to do everything that is in our power to save Terri Schiavo and anybody else that may be in this kind of position, and let me just finish with this:
"This is exactly the kind of issue that's going on in America, that attacks against the conservative moment, against me and against many others. The point is, the other side has figured out how to win and to defeat the conservative movement, and that is to go after people personally, charge them with frivolous charges, link up with all these do-gooder organizations funded by George Soros, and then get the national media on their side. That whole syndicate that they have going on right now is for one purpose and one purpose only, and that is to destroy the conservative movement. It is to destroy conservative leaders, and not just in elected office, but leading. I mean, Ed Feulner, of the Heritage Foundation today was under attack in the National Journal. This is a huge nationwide concerted effort to destroy everything we believe in. And you need to look at this, and what's going on and participate in fighting back.

RE: Lucid
Told ya. All my points in the other article about specious bullshit (I mean "charge them with frivolous charges") DeLay freely admits. Its not about the merits of this case, its about "abortion" and "euthanasia" and a "culture of life". These fascist, I mean "conservative" ideals are insane.
"Euthansasia" is bad? It should be illegal (hell it is)? When a terminally ill person themsevles (one that acutally is lucid - not make believe fairy tale milk some politics "lucid") makes the decision they want to call the game the government should FORCE THEM TO LIVE? WTF?
(And I am personally very fiscally conservative and would be a Republican in a second if it *really* meant less government and fiscal responsibility, I digress.)
DeLay (let me remind everyone Mr. 3 times ethics violations this past year, holier than thou preaching values at every turn) is so abjectly misguided its not even funny. Not only his twisted views are fucked up but how about his analogy of the "attacks against the conservative moment". All the conservative shit is just getting shut down by the media and so on huh? Who controls both houses and the presidency again? WTF? All this nonsense about a liberal or left bias controlling and pushing things is just more of the "look shiny stuff over there" bullshit.
I actually beleive Tom is really really dumb and buys his own bullshit, but devils advocate, maybe this is a smart as hell distraction, it takes the focus off the ole ethics violations? I would not put it past a guy like this to take the Shiavo case as an "opportunity" to politicize it and distract attention from his own issues, selfish, horrible, but certainly within the realm of Tom DeLay.

But that is just the liberals out to get him!
