Wednesday, March 30 Arianna Huffington
I've been reading Arianna Huffington Just a fabulous all round babe I say..and amazingly she and I do not see eye to eye on many a thing...so this is not the "I like her cause she agrees with me thing.." Anyhows if you haven't had a chance yet go check out her blog. I've added her to my linkie love list so just scroll down to Arianna. I was really intriqued by what she wrote about the Schiavo case.. So I'll just quote her right here.. "If the Republicans insist on making the “culture of life” a federal issue, the Democrats should, by all means, let them. But they need to make sure that the national debate doesn’t center on tragic anomalies like the Schiavo case but on the thousands of people whose lives are cut short because they lack access to decent health care or on the prolonged suffering of the millions of children living in poverty. Instead of allowing themselves to be cowed by the fear of looking like they’re coming down on the immoral side of the moral values debate, Democrats should snap out of it and demand that the president interrupt his next vacation and that Bill Frist hold another midnight session of Congress to address the moral disgrace of 45 million people with no health insurance and 36 million people living in poverty. This is the only way to reclaim the moral high ground."
