Will the exploitation NEVER end!!??
I sincerely apologize if this is a dupe, but I nearly choked on my dinner reading this:

Schiavo Activist to Seek Fla. Senate Seat

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Randall Terry, who founded the militant anti-abortion group Operation Rescue and helped lead the effort to reinsert Terri Schiavo's feeding tube, announced Wednesday he is running for the state Senate, setting the stage for a GOP primary in which Schiavo could be the central issue.


<snip>

Terry said King no longer represents the Republican base.

"The Terri Schiavo matter was unforgivable to many of the Republican loyalists," said Terry, 46. He also said King's appointment of Democrats to key positions in the Senate and his call for higher caps on medical-malpractice verdicts alienated voters.

1. Terry is representative of something
really bad and immoral and is considered a repug, so he doesn't bother me at all. He will perhaps enlighten people, or not. :shrug:

2. Like the repubs memo'd: Attach yourself to controversy and get votes
Control, control, control. They want to control how we have sex, with whom, and under what conditions; they want to control birth and death; just the sort of folks to provide liberty and justice for all! Yay!

Sarcasm boy today.

3. Ohg, let him run!
He's a nutbar and a half and a GREAT representative for the Radical Right. The more extreme the candidate is, the more the republicans with a clue will REJECT him.

5. State Senate, but...
Equally deplorable.

And that nasty-looking bitch Harris is too repulsive for words. I hope she gets her boney ass handed to her, but with her little "fling" Jeb in office she's guaranteed to win.

Obama knocked Keyes out of the ballpark. It would be nice to see this blow hard get his ass handed to him. :evilgrin:

8. here are his campaign slogans...
"I want you to just let a wave of intolerance wash over you... I want you to let a wave of hatred wash over you. Yes, hate is good... Our goal is a Christian nation. We have a biblical duty, we are called by God, to conquer this country. We don't want equal time. We don't want pluralism." August 16, 1993

"When I, or people like me, are running the country, you’d better flee, because we will find you, we will try you and we will execute you." <"reportedly said of doctors who perform abortions"> 1995

from the mouth of the man himself-
fits quite well with the direction we're headed eh?
