Democracy Has Prevailed.

Slick Rick Santorum at it again!

According to DC's Inside Scoop blog, rumor has it that PA's very own Sen. Man On Dog's office wrote the achingly political talking points memo on Schiavo that included such gems as:

  • This is an important moral issue and the pro-life base will be excited that the Senate is debating this important issue.

  • This is a great political issue, because Senator Nelson of Florida - has already refused to become a cosponsor and this is a tough issue for Democrats.

  • This legislation ensures that individuals like Teri Schiavo are guaranteed the same legal protections as convicted murderers like Ted Bundy.

  • On the other side, Santorum challenger, Chuck Pennacchio, has this to say about the GOP regarding Schiavo:

  • A party that promotes a "culture of life" would not allow for a death penalty so seriously flawed.

  • A party that promotes a "culture of life" would never have led the country to war in Iraq based on shoddy and flawed intelligence reports.

  • A party that promotes a "culture of life" would allow women an opportunity to make a real "choice," with the advantages of pre-natal and post-natal care for infants, as well as educational and economic opportunities for families.
